In attmept to keep my first post going I decided to post the following question:
Overclocking or Modding?
If you had to choose between the two hobbies, which would you choose? Please discard cost, as both cost whatever the user wants to put into it.
Personally I haven't overclocked much, though I would like to. I love to mod, there is just personal gratification knowing that your computer is like no other. So my preference is modding. What's yours?
Where on earth is Walt (Tweak) at? LOL
He'd love this post...

I have to disagree here Dean. Real overclockers spend hours above an open cheasis trying to shortcut pins on their mobo.
I have a colleauge that has bought a brand new PC with i875 chipset ( Asus ) and two Xeons inside @ 3,06GHz. He has spent the past three months trying to overclock it at the most. He has even bought a fan system ( ordered from UK , cost 270

I made the mistake of purchasing a intel board when I upgraded my pc last year therefor I was only able to overclock from 2.6 to 2.7, I personally perfer asues mbs for ocing and if you have liquid cooling then 2.6 to 3.0 would be possible.

Well I kind of consider liquid cooling both overclocking and modding. I would love to liquid cool my machine but right now I have priorities when it comes to spending money on my machine and unfotunitly a liquid cooling setup is not quite high on my list. How many people have liquid cooling? Anyone got pics? I love seeing pics of liquid systems!
Lots of cooling systems here.
