                    Everything Else: Plenty.

I suggest getting another identical internal 1TB drive and setting up a RAID 1 scheme, in order to have basic data safety.

It would be a wise idea, if I had anything to vital lose that isn't already backed up frequently. :P

I have many things to lose, but the things that I value most are all backed up externally, and on a separate machine.
I may do it when I get a hundred extra bucks to waste though.

Anywho, my drive runs at 22 degrees, and is in standby about 12 hours of the day ( not spinning ) It should last a fair while.
This drive only has 3224 hours on it. ( 134 days ) I had old drives with well over two years of spin time on them. :}

Got her idling at 19 degrees.
I should note that room temperature is only 18 degrees in here.

Replacing the 6600 with a GTX 470 this weekend to drive the third display. Should help fix the incompatibilities and grant me a good amount more computing power. ( in regards to PhysX and Cuda capable applications n stuff. )

God damn, your computer is a beast!
It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they are found because it was possible to find them.

Got the card. I had to add a second power supply. The first one would run both cards, but it was straining the 500W supply and the machine would kill itself after about twenty minutes.

The second supply is nestled in the drive bay. ( I have no CD drives so I had lots of space. )

I'll put pictures up later.

There are a LOT of wires hidden behind the drive cage.

Yes. Yes it is. Visually, however, it is not.

UUuupdated.

New PSU. 700 watt.

Sli'd two 560Ti's on my non-SLI-Capable board.

Works wonderfully.

Also flipped some fans around to change air flow but I didn't feel like typing that. Nobody cares.

Apparently one of these can reduce the number of fans by one:
