3 weeks in… still going well

So far this project has been a complete success. I have a very stable machine now. Here was my final parts list:
ASUS P7P55D EVO
Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz (Overclocked to 3.9 Ghz Stable, ~50C)
Thermaltake Ultra Extreme Rev C
120mm noctua cooling fan
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 4870
LG DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH22NS50
ASUS USB-BT21 USB 2.0 Mini Bluetooth Dongle
Intel X25-M 80gb SSD drive
I don’t use onboard audio for my machines. I instead use an USB audio adaptor for my headsets. I may work on getting the onboard system working in the future, but for now I don’t have a use for it.
The machine is wicked fast, just as I hoped, and the video card appears to be working very well. All my games are playing great. Video transcodes are wonderfully fast.
