I am a PC, and I overclocked my rig to 4 ghz!
My workstation is completely guilty for increasing my electric bill. Especially when I’m working on renders that compute all night long. In order to get the most bang for the buck, I have built a machine that is easily upgradable and overclocked.
Though the “4ghz club” is not as prestigious as the “Mile High Club”, it still is quite rewarding. The Intel i7 920 is able to crank out an impressive 65% boost over its stock speed. I probably could go higher but I would have to switch to water cooling.
I’m using the Huge Prolimatech Megahalem to keep the system cool with 3 2k rpm case/CPU fans along with SpeedFan for temperature control. This allows me to run the system for everyday needs with absolutely NO NOISE , and the moment I need everything that its got, the fans kick on full speed ahead.
I highly recommend this set-up.

This sounds sick… where can i get one… can u hook a brother up…
the can find all of the parts from Newegg and FrozenCPU.
super easy to put together. for the realtime and CAD stuff, you could always go with a FX1800 or similar… a lot cheaper.
