Here is my silent build:
I bought myself a Biostar T550 AM2 board bundled with an AMD64 X2 3600 (which i have heard you can OC to 3.0 GHz on just air). I also bought a EVGA GeForce 7600GT 256mb, a wonderful Zalman CNPSHSF9500 HSF, 2x 1gb Corsair XMS DDR2 800 (i plan to buy 2 more sticks as well) and a Thermaltake TR2-430w PSU. Let me tell ya, she's a beaut!

Believe it or not, the biostar board is pretty nice. I am just using the "idiot" OC settings in it right now, but once i break it in, i will try and reach the 3.0 GHz mark. I am using my Samsung Lightscribe DVD burner from my old build, my Seagate 320gb hdd (finally running at 3.0) along with my XION case. Yep that is my external hdd you see up on top (WD ATA100 250gb hdd):

Well, there you have it. My upgraded compy LOL. Yeah, i know, the bottom of the barrel for the AM2 socket, but at least i am there now.
P.S. For those of you that still frequent PAMD64, look familiar? LOL :crazy:

course now it wont wake from standby, or sleep mode, stupid thing, getting it fixed is going to hurt too. I called the company an they said send an email, I did that now they want a fax. I dont have a fax nor access to one.
