    ok the specs go as:
    intel core quad i7 920 2.66ghz
    3 gb ram corsair
    2 500gb western digital hds
    some bullshit lite on cd drive
    memory card reader by rosewill
    asus p6t motherboard
    evga 9600 gt video card
    asus triton cpu cooler

    well nothing spectacular looking, but if your wondering what the bench marks are on this thing?
    its 7500 on geek bench.

    7500 THAT ****ING ALLOT lol
    it smokes the 2800 dollar macpro that had 8 processors running at 2.8ghz

    i wanna overclock it to 3.2ghz

    right now the i7 processors are crazy so if you building your own just get the 920 people are over clocking them to over 4.5ghz with air cooling.

    my budge was 2k, but included a screen and 2 externals.
    basically it costed me around 1200 to build without the bullshit.

    and if you went with cheaper parts this computer it builable at 8-1000 bucks easy.

    took around 5-6 hrs to build.
    took almost all day to do all the formatting and xp shit.
    i learned how to build it by watching youtube videos no lie.
    if i didnt watch those vids i wouldnt have no ideal wtf i was doing.

    the only issues im having is i cant run my external as esata what so ever. my external sound card isnt installing but i know why.
    i dont think i can run both my external harddrives with firewwire connections. i ordered a lacie pci firewire card with texas instruments chip set so hopefully everything will work connected to that.

    installing acid 6 and 7 as well as all my plugins took under 6 minutes.

    the cpu has 7 fans and doesnt blow hot air what so ever. i have 1 more on order that has white leds it costed like 6 dollars for it lol.

    just ran a master render of my last complted cd as wav.
    on my old computer it took 10 minutes for the entire cd render.
    on this new one here its putting out the render at 6 minutes 15 seconds.
    also its more responsive so im running firefox and opening and closing acid and checking so thats cool less lag FTW!.
    faster render times.

    it could be done. but the wiring right now is already tight as is.

    i dont really care for the lighting to the music because that relies on the motherboard sound card which i wont use.

    i got 1 more fan coming in with 4 white led lights and that should be the end of cooling n lighting.
