That case isn't watercooled you will have to buy a watercooling system separately in case you aren't aware. I have questions though, Why 32bit?, Why Vista Ultimate? IMO this is a pointless excercise, if you want 32bit, stick with XP. Also a minor thing switch the Lite-on Drive to a Pioneer as most testing shows the current Pioneers have the lowest (best) PIF error counts across different media brands/types.

as hobbes fan stated i changed my CD Burner to This
Why i choose 32 bit vista is because 32 bit xp only see's 3.5 gig s or ram

I also changed the case ._. because it looked ugly New Case


EDIT: i think i'm going to go 64 bit vista

EDIT 2: Added this Fan

I'd probably buy a cheaper case personally, as you are going with a watercooling setup so the noise reduction capabilities of that case aren't so important. I'd opt for a better non-packaged setup. It's not that's its a bad kit, but buying a bigger and better Heatsink like a Tuniq Tower is 1/2 the price and performs similarly.

My only beef with the Tuniq is that it's massive. Great HSF, but massive.

Anyway, seems like he's almost done, huh? Been a long journey.

Anyway, thing is: Do remember that certain hardware/software won't work on 64-bit OSs. Last I've heard ( and it's been a while - not sure if SP1 has changed anything ), Vista x64 still had driver conflicts and problems.

I also hoped to go 64-bits, but not sure if my Wacom tablet would hold, so I'm sticking with XP Pro for the moment. Vista seems to be scoring better in both SLI and Crysis performances for some strange reason no-one understands and x64 should run your games faster also.

But take my opinion with a grain of salt, I haven't read much about the 64-bit scene in a while.

Edit:

Also, about the water-cooling. Be aware that you'll have to do a lot of reading and testing to make sure your system is working properly. You'll have to do that anyway once you put it together, but with a water cooling system it's even more important. Reason being that water in a case + leak = mess. Even if you use a non-conductive solution, which you should by all means, if it starts leaking, be prepared that it takes a while until everything dries back into place. I'd suggest sticking to air cooling for now.

It doesn't matter whether it's Vista or XP, if it's 32-bit it's only going to be able to utilize about 3.5 GB of RAM. If you want to make use of 4 GB or more, go with a 64-bit operating system.

I've also heard claims that 64-bit Vista performs far better than 32-bit Vista, but I've never seen it confirmed. It's also possible that the 64-bit users have loads of RAM compared to the 32-bit users, which would make a big difference.

Yea so i'm still sticking to 64-bit Vista now

Well it seems like i'm not going to be using an the water cooler thanks for the help again Hobbes ....i hope it can keep my Q6600 cool as i OC it to at least 3.6 ghz
