The biggest problem in small builds is CPU cooler. Graphic cards have sluim but powerful coolers, for CPU, if you want a good one you always end up with some big crap...

Subbing this for big things from small packages.
Looks great. I had shot of big cases after I'd had my ATCS840 for a year. Just took up too much space. Can't see myself ever getting anything bigger than mATX in the future - I just don't use that many expansion slots.

We could only hope
Core i7 920 @ 3,3GHz. I'm currently running it with Thermaltright AXP-120 but there is still room for improvements.

A "K" will not help, since the board itself is limited to BCLK overclocking, and SB as a platform does not like BCLK increases. It's developed for multiplier overclocking. You really need a p67 board and a k chip for overclocking. H67 is designed for different purposes.

It's not hard, I haven't changed anything in my rig in over a year. I Lost interest in computer hardware, the fact shit breaks, it's expensive and you just plain get tired of the hassle of changing parts, upgrade costs, RMA's, and intels bs socket changes, plus there is only so much information you can gain before you can solve/fix just about anything.
I know where he is coming from, even though I didn't spend $k on my rigs, it gets a little old.
Good luck with the build Fit, haven't heard from you in a while.
