Introduction:All components are brand new , Build date Oct / 24 / 2009 .I’ve just finished with this build , every Component is brand new and has been Tested.. I added a 120mm Blue Led fan to the side panel. The system has 6 Led’s , 1 Blue on the front intake fan , 1  Blue on the bottom mounted Power Supply , 1 Blue on the side panel intake fan , 2 Blue on the top 120 mm exhaust Fans And a Red Led on the CPU Cooler… They put off a nice but not over powerful Red & Blue glow.. I have installed the Latest / Newest Operating System from Microsoft. Windows 7 Ultimate.. That’s right I said Windows 7 Ultimate , The top of the line from Microsoft. Version 6.1 (Build 7600) RTM.. I have been testing this new OPS and I can say Microsoft has put the WOW Factor back into there Operating System.. It’s a major Improvement over Vista for sure. If you would like another Operating System just let me know , But believe me by far this one is the best that Microsoft has put out.Everything is included with the shipment. Extra Screws , Cables , Parts , Manuals , Drivers , Case Stickers ,  etc…I Updated :The Chipset ,Bios , HD Audio Drivers , Realtek RTL8169/8110 Family Gigabit Ethernet  Adapter , Operating System ,Microsoft Office Pro 2007Java Runtime Environment Version 6 Update 16 Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.32.18  Adobe Reader 9.2Microsoft DirectX® 11Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3, English (US)Tweaks Added:Added Copy To / Move To on Windows 7 Right-Click MenuAdded “Take Ownership” to Explorer Right-Click Menu in Win 7 Disable User Account Control (UAC) on Win 7 Removed the Shortcut Arrow on Desktop IconsAdded Aero Glass Full Frame Transparency effectQoS Packet Scheduler set to 0 / Increased 20% of the total bandwidthAdded More ThemesDecrease Menu show delay timeSpeed up Thumbnail PreviewsDecrease shut down time to 2000 msAdded a 3D flip shortcut to TaskbarSwitched page file from Windows control to Recommended SettingsI Overclocked The CPU Just a bit To 3.40GHz as you can see from the Screenshot above.The chip will go to about 4.10 GHz or higher with the right settings , So I will leave that part up to you..I did a few Hours of different Benchmarks , Prime95 / IntelBurn Test v2.3.0 / and the system was very stable. It did not even come close to failing , the Highest Temp I seen on one core was 63 deg c. on 100% load. The only settings I changed in the BIOS were The FSB Frequency to 400 / 333 were the stock settings. / CPU Ratio Setting 08.5 / 6 stock setting. DRAM Frequency (DDR2 – 801 MHz ) 4-4-4-12 / 800 5-5-5-15 were stock. / CPU Voltage 1.25000 / DRAM Voltage 1.90 Disabled:Intel SpeedstepC1E SupportIntel Virtualization TechMax CUPID Value LimitCPU TM FunctionEverything else was left on Auto / Stock Settings. This Motherboard and CPU matched very well.. If you know a bit about Voltages this board will blow you away. Overclocking should be simple as waking up in the morning. If not just look on YouTube and Google and you will find tons of info.  Happy Overclocking…I also changed the Storage Configuration , Configured SATA as ACHI from IDE Stock Setting , with a timeout of 15 sec. For better performance on the Hard Drive.I did not even attempt to Overclock the CPU with the stock cooler. That’s one thing that burns my Butt , That Intel makes such Outstanding Chips and sends them out with the absolute worst coolers I’ve ever seen. This chip was running 40-47 deg c  Idle with the stock settings and the stock Cooler.. That’s Terrible , Is it even worth the time to throw the hunk of junk across the yard… With the OCZ Cooler 25-30 deg c now that I can deal with…Bonus: Fully Activated Software Installed.Adobe® Photoshop® CS4 Extended  Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.5  Sunbelt Software VIPRE® Antivirus + AntispywareMicrosoft Office Professional 2007 FULL TuneUp Utilities 2010Winrar 3.90Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware v1.41ConvertXToDVD  (DVD Burning software)XoftSpySE 6Raxco Perfect Disk 10 Professional v10.00 Build 124 (Disk defragmenting software)LimeWirePRO.4.18.8Your Uninstaller 2009 6.2 Build 1347  (Uninstalls Apps.etc.that add/remove programs will leave files behind)TechSmith SnagIt 8.2.3.0  (Screenshot software / Image editing software) Boilsoft.Video.Splitter.5.16Boilsoft Video Joiner 5.32Irfanview V4.23 full  (Image editing software)CPUZ  (Show’s Processor info / Memory info / Motherboard info)Real Temp / Core Temp  (Monitor’s the Temps of all the cores on the Processor) All Software is 100% Activated and fully functional , They are not trial versions.I routed most of the cables behind the Motherboard to give the System a Cleaner look and also for Cooling all the components , Lot’s of cables and wires will restrict air flow. I partitioned the 750 GB Hard Drive into 3 sections.. One partition for the Operating System , One partition for storage , And the last partition for a Complete PC Back Up. No third party software needed just Windows functions.. You can back up your entire PC with just a few mouse clicks , witch to me is a very Important feature. No more losing all your files If your PC gets infected.. I set Windows to do a complete back up every Sunday , so your covered If the unthinkable Virus Hits. This Case has two 120 mm Blue LED 1200 RPM Silverstone Fans mounted at the very top above the CPU Cooler ,and  another 120 mm fan right beside the CPU Cooler.. All 3 exhausting the heat from inside the case.. I added 3 more fans into the mix as It came with 2 , So a total of 7 Fans including the PSU and CPU Cooling this set up.The cable management is outstanding , Most are hidden behind the Motherboard Tray for a cleaner look and no disturbance of the Air Flow.. I can say that this was one of the top Mid Tower Cases I’ve had the pleasure to use.. The Smoked glass side panel is just awesome , Lots of holes to route wires , The inside was Black not that ugly gray primmer , Excellent ventilation , I’m very pleased with this set up.I will tuck those wires under the Hard Drive away for sure.I replaced the White Led side panel fan with Blue Led..

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor
This Model has the EO Stepping / S-spec ( SLB8V )
Introduction:

Crush your enemies, climb the tower of paperwork, or do both at the
same time. Intel’s Core 2 Quad Q9550 not only makes it possible, it
makes it easy. The Core 2 Quad Q9550 has quad cores that run at 2.83GHz
and shares 12MB of L2 cache. Quad cores means true multi-tasking and multi-threading.
Tasks or threads get their own core; no more sharing one core and set
of clock cycles. This lets you turn your system into the ultimate home
entertainment center PC. One core handles the usual action on your
operating system, while the second can play a DVD on the TV, the third
download a file from internet, and the fourth one sends audio to the
kids in another room with no lags or stutters. All this is made easier
with Intel’s advanced Digital Media Boost. The 45nm Intel Core 2 Quad processor is armed with Intel
HD Boost, which implements new Intel Streaming SIMD Extension 4.1
(Intel SSE4.1) instructions for fast high definition video editing and
encoding, enhance the multimedia performance.

Highlights

Intel Core 2 Quad-core ProcessorWith
four processing cores, the multitasking monster Quad-Core Intel Core 2
processor delivers fourfold the performance on highly-threaded
applications, taking your desktop PC experience into a completely new
realm of mega power. The powerful processor delivers serious
performance on the ultra-demanding games of today and tomorrow. The
innovative 45nm quad-core technology optimizes thermal performance for
reduced power consumption and noise.

Intel Advanced Smart CacheIntel
Advanced Smart Cache Technology dynamically allocates the shared L2
cache to each processor core based on workload. This efficient,
multi-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each
core can access data from fast L2 cache, resulting in significantly
reduced latency for frequently used data and improved performance.

Intel Wide Dynamic ExecutionWith
Intel Wide Dynamic Execution, each of the four cores can complete up to
four full instructions simultaneously, improves execution speed and
efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.

Execute Disable Bit (EDB)Intel’s
Execute Disable Bit function can prevent certain classes of malicious
“buffer overflow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating
system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in
memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a
malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor
disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.

Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)With
Intel VT, one hardware platform functions as multiple “virtual”
platforms. For business, Intel VT offers improved manageability,
limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating
computing activities into separate partitions. In the home, Intel VT
allows creating unique user environments for multiple family members
using the same platform simultaneously.Model

I know that the stock CPU coolers from Intel are not worth installing so this one here does the Trick.

ZEROtherm BTF90 92mm Silent UFO CPU CoolerThis Cooler has tension screws and a backplate holding it down to the motherboard , very secure..

Introduction:

“The Butterfly Effect” gets a whole new meaning here: The BTF90 from
ZEROtherm is an elegant joining of form and function. The butterfly
shaped fins provide more than 4400cm² of surface area for cooling. That
combined with the 8 copper heatpipes provide over 150W of cooling
power. The included mounting brackets make this an almost
universal cooling system for Intel and AMD CPUs. Intel CPUs using an
LGA 775 socket and AMD processors using the 754, 939 and AM2 sockets
will all get a cooling rush. The 92mm fan runs between 750 and 2500rpm, usually
staying under 1500rpm for an ultra quiet performance. The housing free
design and mag-lev bearing also contribute to the silence. And the fan
has 2 red LEDs to give it sinister glow.

Western Digital WD7500AADS Caviar Green Hard Drive

As hard drive capacities increase, the power required to run those
drives increases as well. Western Digital WD7500AADS Caviar Green Hard
Drive makes it possible for energy-conscious customers to build systems
with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance,
ensured reliability, and energy conservation.

Reduced power consumption The Western Digital WD7500AADS
Caviar Green Hard Drive has reduced power consumption by up to 40
percent compared to standard desktop drives with the combination of
WD’s IntelliSeek™, IntelliPark™, and IntelliPower™ technologies.

Helps enable eco-friendly PCs
The Western Digital WD7500AADS Caviar Green Hard Drives yield an
average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over standard desktop drives
making it possible for our energy-conscious customers to build systems
with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance,
ensured reliability, and energy conservation. This power savings
equates to reducing CO2 emission by up to 13.8 kilograms per drive per
year – the equivalent of taking a car off the road for 3 days each
year*. By using environmentally-conscious PCs with our WD Caviar Green
drives on board, large organizations with many desktop computers can
minimize their carbon footprint and save real money on electricity
costs.
