Congratulations! That's a heck of a setup you've got there. Can't wait to see the pics. :good:

Wait...does this mean we're not Optiplex buddies anymore?


Monitoring programs:
Speedfan:

HWMonitor:

(also look at the rest of CPUID's stuff)


Some good protection programs:

Avast (antivirus)

Avira (antivirus)
http://www.avira.com/en/pages/index.php

AVG (antivirus)
http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage

Malewarebytes (anti-malware)
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

There's more but I'm tired and can't think of them

No problem

I'm not sure which of the antivirus ones would be the best to pick...I've heard good things about Avira though. I have Avast and it works well.

Yay!
