This is a "cut and paste" from a forum signature I have on an overclocking forum I have belonged to for years. I am a recovering PC hardware tweaking addict...just way too expensive.

I am happy to say I haven't messed with new hardware in a year. :D

And if I am lagging, it is the server ;)

4 Gig of ram
Nvidea Geforce 9800 GX2(2 of them for some reason)
Creative SB X-FI

That's all that might be interesting about it, hopefully it will improve the lag for me a bit.

Power Monger! :)

That would probably have been sufficient, but I had SO many problems with overheating on my old computer I decided to drop the extra money for better cooling on this one.

And what the heck is on your CPU there? Is that a water cooler or some completely weird thing i've never heard of before?

Nice clean system though, good airflow it looks like

Copy + paste from manufacturer description:

Quote:
Velocity Micro™ LiquiCool 3™ Advanced Thermal Electric Cooling

Unlike water-cooling products, the LiquiCool 3Ö does not use a radiator. Instead, it uses a proprietary æChiller' which incorporates multiple TECs (also called peltiers) to chill the liquid coolant. This increases thermal capacity and provides for faster heat absorption at the source. Custom designed for Velocity Micro, the LiquiCool 3Ö is the new standard in performance CPU cooling.

So, the latter of your two options. lol
