Sigh... long gone are the days when not setting the right voltage jumper meant for a long and painful process (damn pentium pros)
I am going to try and assemble it myself. The $40 seems like a decent price to put everything together, but I want to try it myself. I've installed hard drives, video cards and cd writers before. So I'm not a total rookie. But if I botch it up, I'll head over to memory express.

EDIT: That's a pretty good install. Probably would get a couple good solid minutes of gaming in with that.

RE: the liquid cooling. Looks over kill for me. Not to mention the $400 USD is well above my price range. I don't think I would get the full use of it. It would be merely expensive eye candy. And my current eye candy is the heatsink, which is only $40. I can stomach that.
