Im currently running GW on my good laptop... which has some problems with overheating...

3.19 Ghz P4
1g ram
Ati Mobile 9700 128 mb ram
Audigy sound blaster 2
Nec 6500 DvD+R which is supposed to burn DL but wont....

System doesnt run a good as it should do to the fact that the fans dont seem to keep all of that stuff in the small laptop cool enough.

but im thinking about buying the parts and making this system myself.

Asus K8V SE Deluxe VIA Socket 754 ATX Motherboard
AMD Athlon™ 64 3700+ Processor 754 socket
2x Ultra1024MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory
Ultra V-Series 400-Watt ATX Power Supply
NEC ND3540A DVD/CD-R Rewritable OEM Drive
Lite-On / 52x32x52x CD-RW / Black / CD Burner
Maxtor / DiamondMax 10 / 160GB / 7200 / 16MB
Maxtor / DiamondMax 10 / 300GB / 7200 / 16MB
XFX GeForce FX 5500 / 256MB DDR / AGP 8X
Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live 24-Bit PCI Sound Card

And im thinking about getting something like this:

Ultra Commander 7-Channel Fan Controller Plus 3 Titanium Finish 80mm Fans

to help keep the system extra cool

I have never made my own system so im not sure about the compatability on all of this so im still haveing to check and dbl check stuff.

but tell what yall think

Hey Blind look into Thermaltake cases. They are reasonable and my Tsunami has 2 -120mm fans. One in the front, one in the back and a 90mm on the side, the system can't get much colder on the inside unless you run water. Also get a nice heatsink since GW runs your cpu at max
