WD 250 gb sata 3.0gb
Dell 1905 FP

I'm amazed with the venice's overclocking captability, currently i have it oc'd from 2.0 to 2.4 with a stock heatsink and 4 case fans, i've never seen the computer rise over 41 degrees celsius.
I'll second that. I have a +3500 Venice. I used to overclock it, but I've since dropped it back to stock. I did this so I can turn off the miserable CPU fan when I'm not gaming or Cadding.

Specs-
AMD althlon 64 +3500 Venice
ECS KN1-E main bored
1512mb pc400 ram. Missed the boat on dual channel though.
Radeon x800XL based graphics card from Gigabyte. Fanless, which I dig. The heatsink is nice PC bling to.
74gig 10k rpm from western digital as the main drive for programs.
250gig from WD for bulk storage.
520 watt power supply to keep it all running.

The goal was a quietish system %80 of the time, with the fan capacity for some hard HL2 gaming sessions. I'm happy with it, and happy with the upgrade outlook. Gotta love that 939 socket.
