The mines got soaked and would not ignite

Nice rig mate. I was a gamer for a long time (digital forensic background so am a geek at heart). So what happened? Don't make them anymore?

Lol no! Pong!

Yer I'm still a gamer. I reckon I always will be.
Current pc just runs watercooling on the cpu, just for quietness these days, and I stare at a 30inch Dell monitor. Nothing better than chucking on the Sennheiser headphones after a shite day, getting online and go shoot and blow people up in Battlefield 4.
Making these rigs up to sell takes up a lot of your time as everything has to be exact and spot on. It would take around 3-4 weeks for me to build one up from start to finish. Depending on how much work I need to do for the case. I don't over clock anymore as my current pc is plenty fast enough (although I can feel an upgrade itch coming on...) to play my games at full res, so zub zero cooling isn't really needed. Watercooling is as far as I go now. and that just purely for the silence of it over just having a fan on a heat sink.

Didn't take you for a computer freak.

This is a screen shot of an overclocked cpu. Stock cpu speed on this thing is 3ghz. Running it at -20c I could get it to run at over 4.3ghz. The Super Pi program running beside it is like the 1/4 mile drag for cpu's... The lower the time the better.

I remember those days well mate. While I never got involved to the extent you did, I certainly dabbled in the overclock space. Nice work.

If you're of a mind, you should get over to The Older Gamers. I was an Admin there for a long time. A great community of over 25 gamers and fun to get online and pwn some n00bs with.

haha nice build there mark, pretty neat setup there and i can see alotta money and time put into it. best over clock i got was 4.1GHz stable outta a 3.2GHz Phenom II x6 on air. but at the end of the day i underclocked my pc as the computer has MORE than enough performance for what i do(a random game here or there) and mainly acting as a data server.my PC specs below:

Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2GHz
RAM: 16G Gskill Ripjaw Ram 1600mhz (4x4GB Kit)
Main HDD: Kingston 120GB SSD
Secondary HDDs: Mixture of 7 Hdds totaling 13TB
Graphics: Nvidia GTX560(was a freebie off a mate, before that i had a ATI HD5560... LOL)
PSU: Lian Li 1000w PSU
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster V10(its a monstrosity, and really loud but meh =P)

Yep. I play on their servers a lot. Most are quite respectful when playing online. As most servers are full of kids, and their only use of words is how they $%*! your mum etc etc.

Very similar to my setup mate. This PC I've had for years. Slightly overclocked. And even though I don't overclock any more, it still runs a lot of things I throw at it today. Might upgrade soon.

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @ 3.6Ghz

Corsair 16GB

Asus 6950 2GB

Blend of SSD's in raid & media server drives.

Silverstone 850W Gold

Silverstone FT02 Silver Windowed 90 Degrees
