7. Why ATI or NVIDIA, why Intel/AMD?

I tent to buy the best bang per buck hardware on the market. I'm never stuck with a particular brand/company.

8. Does your PC life up to you expectation ?

I've generally always been pleased with my PCs. I've tried to keep them looking as good as i can. I bought this Silverstone TJ07 nearly 18months ago and as a result i had to go back to air cooling with the intention of getting water-cooling into it ASAP, 18months later i finally get around to finishing it and i couldn't be happier with the result, A lot of thought went into what color scheme i wanted and i defiantly think i made the right choice.

9. What's the best part of your rig?

Haven't really got a favorite part but if i was to single out one bit i would say the Reservoir. Its a real focal point.
