    Haha, I would but other circumstances are prohibiting that for now. I intend to pick up the Antec 900, 1200 or the CM HAF 932 whenever I get the money.

    So, I just upgraded my PSU to a very high powered (amp wise) PSU because of the amps usage of the 8800 gtx and it boots up, but since I have been able to stay in BIOS longer than a few seconds, I found out the temperatures I am running and why its shutting down randomly after 5-10 seconds.

    The processor is BURNING up to 110-120 celsius within a matter of seconds, even my old one with perfectly done thermal paste, so I am at a loss as to why its causing such extremely high heats.

    edit: all fixed, the heatsink was on incorrectly so it was causing absurd heat generation. Xlink pointed this out to me, but since 5 people helped along the way I figure 1k each for all of you? Assuming you all agree of course.

    Woah, missed this thread. I agree ;) lol But give mine to someone else, i'm in the minus numbers by thousands, so it would be a waste.
