Hey guys,
I'm getting slightly bored of my current pc and am possibly deciding on building a new one.
However, the issue I'm having atm is possibly the heatsink on the cpu.
I'm thinking of going for this:
Scythe SCZP-2000
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173868
Do you think this will be worthwhile for an i7 chip? Maybe even for a lil' overclocking?
Specs:
The case will be a 4u server case that will be used mainly for more mobility (lan parties etc) and less spaced used.
views and suggestions on specs and whatever else? (please include any other parts that you think I ought to consider).
