Intel & AMD cut prices
If you were planning on investing in a new CPU you may want to wait a couple of days until prices settle and get a better price. With the price cuts in mind, I would say the best value can be got from the [URL=http://techspot.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=584311]P4 2.53GHz[/URL] and AthlonXPs [URL=http://techspot.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=655045]2700+[/URL] & [URL=http://techspot.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=634891]2400+[/URL].
I certainly miss the AMD bandwagon somewhat after I switched to a Pentium 4 a couple of months ago, in the other hand, both Thomas and Derek (P66) are enjoying their new shining XP CPUs ;).

Can't beat my 2100+ Tbred B (I know I keep going on about it) @ 2.2Ghz (2700+) for £70!

But I don't want to scare my bank account by investing in LN2 cooling and water cooling. Although I might start eyeing up watercooling kits ;)Also notice the site Only4Pro, and I don't consider myself a pro :D

Yeps..watercooling the way to go IMO. Ordering all the parts on Monday, and im currently in the process of designing blocks for CPU/Gfx Core/Nforce2 NB :) ...getting myself a 1700+ aswell, one of the people i know over at xtremesystems.org got his 1700+ to 2940mhz 8) using plain watercooling[IMG]http://www2.arnes.si/~mlivak/Benchmarks/293

You have the tools or access to the tools to make your own blocks??
