I thought about getting the H70.

I thought about getting the H70.

They've released a couple additional ones. Think I saw the h100 but I don't think its worth the price for performance.

To address the OP...

I would never overclock a laptop unless it was custom built to withstand the punishment. Most are pushing thermal limits as is.

And to compare e-peens...

I went way overboard in May of 2010.

ASUS Rampage III Extreme LGA 1366
Intel Core i7-980X 6 core Extreme Edition OC'd to 4.0 GHZ daily, sometimes more
2 x GeForce GTX 480 (Fermi) 1536MB SLI OC'd
12GB CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3
4 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA - RAID 0
1 x CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-1000HX 1000W ATX12V

All custom water cooled.

Do I win teh prize?

Your wife should beat you stupid for buying (ie paying for) a rig like that.

My rig will play anything on the market to a high enough level that the human eye couldn't tell the difference and I've only spent $430 in the last year. ($630 in the last two years, ie $200 for the video card)

Why 12GBs of ram? Bet you don't have a single app that uses more than 6GBs. There is no game that uses 6GBs.

He probably bought the processor before the Sandy Bridge CPU's. I wouldn't have coughed up the dough for them though.

My rig kills anything out there right now and probably for the foreseeable future. I can't fault the guy too much though. PC's are my passion. If I had more available money I'd probably have built another few just to have them as spares, lol.
