This is my 24/7 config. I still have to play with the RAM (I'm sure the timings will go lower) and see how far I can push this CPU. But so far I'm impressed with this little baby!

Here's a quick 3dmark run that I did. Can you guys tell me if these scores are about right? Its been so long since I've been comparing 3dmark scores, I'm out of touch.

My poor little 500W Silverstone literally squeals when I game, LOL. It's getting replaced soon.
I had to get rid of my old rack cuz it was way to big for my needs, another one is coming soon. For now it just sits on my dresser.
Also, I have to cut a couple holes in the back to route the tubing thru so I can put the lid back on, lol.
Here's some pics:
