So, i won an intel i7 920 here at EVGA from the chat with intel. So, of course i "had" to upgrade my system seeing as it was socket 775.  So, i went ahead and purchased a socket 1366 mobo, and 6gb ddr3 ram. Here are the full specs of my new/upgraded comp: -i7 920 -EVGA Classified e760 -6gb DDR3 2000mhz 9-9-9-27 Kingston ram -2x EVGA gtx260's (55nm) -2x 500gb Seagate Barracuda's in RAID 1 -Thermaltake Armor+ full tower -Cooler Master Real Power Pro 750w -Prolimatech Megahalems w/ 2 CM r4's in push-pull -HP CD/DVD burner -Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Now, onto the pictures! I think pictures speak more than words, so i won't type much during the pics. Here ya all go: New Parts:  Old system:     Eww, dusty.   Now the new stuff  :           Comparing old to new:  More new pics:        And that's all folks! I hope you guys like it; I love it!

@Zach: I love the r4s. They push way more air and are far quieter than my old zalman cooler. Thanks for the compliments guys.

Awesome build but ............... Do you have anything better than that cellphone camera? It does not do your rig any justice.

Thanks for the comments guys! @DMIINC: That is my camera, not a cell phone camera. LOL  It is just an average camera...My sister is the big photographer in the family; she has a Canon Rebel XSi and some really nice lenses too. But she is off at college, so no nice camera for me. Maybe i could just use one of my parent's cameras. They have really nice digitals. idk... Either way, i love my rig.

No way... My sister is a Senior in HS and she has a Canon Rebel XS(I think, it's the one that came without a zooming lense).. ha that's crazy. We are like the same.
Lies until I get their numbers to prove it! Haha, j/k. Sick build btw, rabid. Very clean cable management.

Nice, rabid, but I see one issue. Don't use the tri-sli bridge on those two cards. Those bridges are really only supposed to be used for 3 cards, not 2, as they can cause display issues.

Looks nice, based on your old build though you may want to invest in an air compressor

I want to. If i take the system apart in the future (which i almost for sure will), i'll paint it then. Probably black and red. nordicjedi

Really?  I haven't had any problems with the tri-sli bridge at all. *knocks on wood* dlb134

I have considered buying an air compressor, for the dust in pcs, but also for other stuff. To all: Thanks for all the comments.
