Loonylionmaybe this will help:

holy crap, my PC loudness is around 50dB!

bit of extra info that might be out of date: the quietest sounds I can hear are 117dB in my left ear and 90dB in my right.

I do wear one, those are unaided figures.

your dream http://gear.ign.com/articles/111/1118794p1.html

have you ever dreamt of having an all-in-one gaming machine that consolidates a full gaming PC with your favorite consoles? Well, the designers at Origin PC have, and today announced the introduction of The Big O; a high-power gaming PC that features a built-in Xbox 360.Each PC comes with a built-in Xbox 360 'Slim', which can be played while the PC is running other tasks and software, and supports all of the same connections and features of a full console. While the built-in Xbox 360 is certainly the biggest selling point of The Big O, it is actually one of the fastest gaming rigs available. The entry level version of the system features an overclocked 4.0GHz Intel Core i7 930 processor, a liquid cooled Rampage III Extreme motherboard, dual NVIDIA GTX 480 GPUs, 6GBs of memory, dual 50GB SSD drives, a 2TB hard drive, Creative Fatal1ty sound card, and built-in Blu-ray burner. Sounds expensive? It is; Origin has priced the base configuration at $7,669.If that wasn't enough to break your bank, The Big O is also offered in the configuration used by CPU Magazine, which features dual Intel Xeon X5680 processors overclocked to 4.3GHz, an EVGA SR2 motherboard, liquid cooling, quad SLI EVGA GTX 480 GPUs, 12GBs of memory, four 50GB SSD drives, two 2TB hard drives, a built-in Blu-ray burner, and a built-in 8 channel HD audio sound card, at a price of $16,999.Have the cash to shell out for Origin's gaming powerhouse? The company is now taking custom orders for The Big O starting today via their official website.

creative sound cards are crap and no real gamer will use overclocked processors.

oooooh i always wanted to travel >.> nice to know you'll have an answer by the weekend...so might as well ask..where ya going? what'cha doing? does traveling=vacation? ^_^

I'm at a friend's house in Wisconsin (Eat cheese or die) and about to go to his mother's place for a birthday party (he's nearing retirement ;P).. we've looked at your situation and the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus is about the only one that will work with 4 full ram slots using your chosen ram (as far as we can tell), however newegg says that ram is no longer available so you might have to change it.

okay, i searched newegg...i'm only coming up with 2 based on spec searches..http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=40000147%20600006066%20600006139%20600052012&IsNodeId=1&srchInDesc=mushkin&Description=DDR3&bop=And&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&CompareItemList=147|20-226-132^20-226-132-TS%2C20-226-127^20-226-127-TSwhich the following look pretty decent to...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226123&cm_re=DDR3-_-20-226-123-_-Producthttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226101&cm_re=DDR3-_-20-226-101-_-Productso what would work best?

alienware suck, don't touch them.

Tomoka · #56which the following look pretty decent to...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226123&cm_re=DDR3-_-20-226-123-_-Producthttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226101&cm_re=DDR3-_-20-226-101-_-Productso what would work best?

the first is even taller than the original ram you chose, and reviews also state it has issues with AM3. the second should work.
