I'm not sure if there are any of the original components of the Gamer Xtreme 2200 in my rig; I just used it as a starting point... anyway...
I forgot to plug in the monitor when I first turned it on, and it was so quiet I wasn't sure anything was even happening! It's cool as an icecube, quiet as a mouse, and fast as a cheetah. It runs games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Just Cause 2 on maximum graphical settings with a consistent, smooth framerate, while games like Counter-Strike: Source can approach 300 frames per second at times. My three main problems with my old system - heat, instability, and poor framerates/hitches - are all completely nonexistant here, and there aren't any other problems of any kind (besides that Just Cause 2 for some reason likes to randomly enter windowed mode during gameplay... rather frustrating!). My new system bottleneck isn't part of my system at all - it's my Internet connection (downloading 22 games on Steam at once was not fun - it's day 3 and I still have two left to finish downloading).
