    Re: This is Insane



    Haven't bothered to upgrade since I bought it almost a year ago. It's perfect as it is and lets me run 2.7Ghz (FX-55) so I'm happy.

      You can pick up a Promethia Mach 1 for around $400 last I checked.

      The promethia MachII GT and Vapochill Lightspeed are common, but they run $1150 and $800 respectivly. Not to mention the added cost of your power bills.

      As for how it stacks up, most will keep a CPU to -50C, consistantly.

      You can always go custom, but that requires ALOT of knowlage about refregeration tech.

          Eh, phase gets to the point where it's a hobby more that practical use. If I had the money to spare I would definately do it just for the fun and learning experiance.

            Still too expensive for my tastes. Anyways, if i had the money to spare, i'd just upgrade other stuff besides the CPU.

                  YEP. I've been rooting for France the whole way. Wow, I'm so happy, haha. Most people voted that Brasil would win, but they're on their way home now. :)

                  Portugal doesn't stand a chance, IMO. Both teams played horribly today, compared to the amazing performance by both France and Brasil. I think its going to be France vs. Germany in the final.

                      Don't forget ocz is supposed to be coming out with a sub $300 phase unit sometime this summer, which looks very promising.

                        Yea, that was the one i was talking about earlier, once the price drops to 200 or less, i might buy it.
