It's alive! Mwuhahaha

  Last week I blew up my poor Phenom 1 when I tried to render another Blade Liger scene. (my third) I broke it down into pieces, used a box fan but it killed it.
   But I have for the past couple of months been building a new dream machine, which I just booted for the first time not quite 24 hours ago.
   Specs:
Cool Master case w/ plenty of vents and a big ass 120mm case fan
Gigabyte 970A-DS3 Motherboard
AMD FX-8150 8core (YES 8!) cpu
8 gigs of Kinston Ram
Kuhler 620 liquid cooling CPU cooler
Saphire 5450 NVidia (I think) graphics card
New sata dvd burner
My old (year old) 680w psu
My old 1 terrabyte drive (bought a year ago)
My 32g ssd (bought in january)
Windows 7 32 bit still on the SSD (installed in January)

   I rigged it with an old speaker I had since the case didn't come with one. The interior is tight, and there are several rants about everything coming together but it's here and running now. That's all that matters. ;) Eventually my blood pressure will return to normal. I hope. lol

I still have a few teething issues, I need to fix Windows 7. (the crash mucked up the boot a little)
I need to reinstall Cinema 4D (again the crash. It renders but wont let me load or save anything... and right now it wont let me reinstall for some strange reason)
I also need to reinstall Inspire 3D. (messed up when I put windows 7 on in January.)
Get all the warranties sorted out.

I can't wait to see how well it really works. Pretty pumped, but a little cautious about how much I can pushe it. I broke the bank putting this together.

   So far it idles at 6-13 degrees C! That Kuhler is insane! I haven't pushed it above 40C yet. Once the load drops the Kuhler gets the upperhand in seconds and drops the temp like a rock. I hope there are no thermal shock issues. It's a bit faster but I really want Windows 7 64 or Windows 8 to get the max out of the system.
