no it can do 3.4Ghz. Everything stable at 3.4Ghz except Maya. Maya dosent like overclocked processors much. So i have to keep it at 3.25Ghz.
Well the only rather expensive part in the system is the graphic card which is brand new one. Everything else is 10 month old. There are no case decals available easily. The option is to get the car decals and cut it according to our need. I did not went into looks, i cut the side window basically for the side fan which blows air on the graphic card to keep it nice and cool. And my little cousine stuck those MONSTER words on my case after seeing it and i kept them :)

in all including craphic card around 72K was spent on this PC. Its not new, the only new thing is graphic card. Rest PC will be 1 year old in Jan.
So at that time this was a high end config. I had 9800XT in here before, sold that for 25K in MAY, then painfully spent days with my backup GF3 ti200 card until last month i got 6800GT.
I am upgrading to A64 3500+ system next months and also getting 19" monitor.
Some parts used are very old, like Watercooling system is now 2 years old, My sound card is 3 years old( sblive 5.1), speakers are 2 years old.
I keep upgrading parts, i sell old parts on baazee and get myself new one. In the end I have more than deascent config all the time and in the end on 5 year cycle i end up spending less than the cost of 2 new PCs and i enjoy high end config for all 5 years :)
By the way i have kept count. Since 1996 when i got my first PC I have gone through 15 processors, 10 motherboards, 9 Hard Disks, 2 sound cards, 10 graphic cards, just 2 monitors, 5 cabinets, 2 speakers :p

Gr8 Looking PC . must have gr8 time impressing the girls with it ;)

got a couple of questions .

- don't the optical drives get heated as they are placed so close together with no air flow ?
- is that ur graphics card thats soooooooooo huge , just above ur pci slots
- u said u cut out the side panel to fix a fan . what is the transperant material u have placed there , plastic or glass
- i see at the bottom what looks like 1 ordinary intake fan and one with led , does keeping 1 fan behind the other help improve circulation .
- write an article abt how u got ur rig up and running with more details on ur components and costs , along with piks and send to digit so that they can publish in dec issue . will really help a lot of ppl

This pic below will answer most of your questions :)
The window I cut is nnow fitted with Plexiglass. And optical drives are not isolated, airflow is there, see the pic below. the partition you see is not actiually partition, there is big whole in middle for air circulation.
Took me 2 months to find all the components I wanted but now i am aware of all the sources where to get this stuff :)
Unfortunately I cannot write about it now and anyway Dec issue will almost be 80% complete by now. I have my exams comming, starting from 17th so I must study now.
I have written whole thread about this on guru3d.com forums, along with lots of articles that I have written there.
I will find and post the link of it.
