Megiddo's new computer!
Megiddo:
Holy CRAP! I got about 3/4ths of all the parts today... but I'm absolutely shocked by the size of the CPU heatsink. I knew it was going to be big from reviews, but this is about half the size of a basketball!
* Megiddo hopes it will fit inside his case.
EDIT:
Here's some pictures, but I still don't think they do this justice!
Here's the heatsink versus the old one I had for my AMD XP 2600+
Here's the heatsink versus my hand
Golden-Death:
All hail Megiddo's hand.

Oh yeaaah.
Megiddo:
Well, assembling it was rather uneventful... accept for the CPU heatsink (which barely fits by the way!).
When I got to installing windows, I realized there was a fatal flaw in my plans. You can't install XP on a RAID without a driver disk, and I had no floppy drive. It was a logical choice for me to shun the floppy drive, as I have not used one in 3 years, but who knew that in order to use newer technology, you'd have to rely on older technology?
In the end I just put the drivers directly in the XP driver repository on the CD.
