All in all a pretty sweet if (relatively) inexpesnive rig.
I am ususally the one to start the 30 second timer in BF2, if not I usually get 28 or 22 seconds.
Obviously the power of my system is not reflected in my BF2 score!
I have not run 3dmark.. maybe I ought to eh?

I have built about 30 computers for family/friends this year alone
System building is one of my hobbies
