    Cool! Did you replace the motherboard? Your bio says overclocked - I don't think Dell boards are built for overclocking:p

    Oh I love dell's for their upgradability, for example I had my Q6600 build with GTX 750 in the chassis of a Pentuim 4 Dell, the Dimension chassis (5000) with "Windows XP" and "Pentuim 4 HT" stickers on from when the machine was bought in 2005! But I put a Dell Optiplex 745 motherboard in, it didn't fit so we had to saw off the back of the IO Shield :p. It all worked well apart from the front panel as that usually has an air temperature sensor which the motherboard didn't read so for safety it worked the fan hard and based on CPU load (since at first it had a Pentuim D, so no temp sensor) so the fan was roaring like mad under full load (2800+ RPM on a 120mm!) then after the new front panel was connected it went back down to at max going 1800RPM. Then with a Core 2 Quad Q6600 it struggles to go above 1200RPM sitting on 1000RPM at idle, very good performance from the cooler with max temps of 50c which was good since I didn't have any thermal past so it was just dumped on there without any

    I'll have to admit both are good, but Dell really goes out of its way to make it better, like the small touches, like getting into a Dell Optiplex is one handle and then the side falls off, with an HP desktop it is faffing about with a push in tab
