It is a vast improvement over the Acer monitor I was using, and I'd say it is on par with my Macbook Pro's monitor...

Which is a high-quality TN-panel, for sure (no sarcasm).
I can't check the site for more details about that monitor, since I have to enter my US zip code, which I have none. I'm also too lazy to look it up.
But, it will almost be on par with the Dell UltraSharp, if it's as good as an MBP-screen. I'll look it up later.
This one I built over the last year... upgrading as I see fit. The only thing I need to replace asap is a new case.

Edit: I took the fan out of the top because I don't have one that fits between the top of the radiator and the pipes, however I put the plate back on top and put a fan down at the bottom of the case next to the power supply to pull some air out from my graphics card.
what you do with 32GB of ram when you are bored:
Looks pretty desolate though. Go back to Stormwind's trade district tavern.
Running my 2600k at 4.3Ghz with stock voltages for the time being, running Prime95 tests to see if it crashes in 8 hours.
Edit: Damn it crashed 45 minutes into a Prime95 test, got a BSOD for hardware failure. Looks like I will need to find the right voltages for that clock frequency.
Not my first build but since I kinda went overboard with hardware on my old one that I didn't use... It just crossed my mind that I dont need to have better hardware than what you posted :P Anyways I have kind of the same as you have right now.

I of course had to try out a RAM Disk myself when I saw that video, albeit only 4GB. Pretty impressive stuff, especially since RAM modules are so inexpensive. Might expand to 16GB just because.
the major drawback is that everything stored is volatile, so if you bump the power switch, or you get a BSOD, anything stored in it is gone, and one thing i didn't mention, is that while the loading in wow is extremely impressive, there is a 2-3 minute preload when you have to copy wow on to the ramdisk, and thats 2-3 minutes from an ssd, a single 7200rpm drive would take much longer
I'm very aware. Already did a reboot to try it out.
Thing is though, it seems like a perfect storage solution for temporary files (duh), or to load in programs you use often (especially if you got 10-20 hours uptime); like for example Photoshop.
Hm... I'm still limited to my mechanical HDDs though. To get full use of such a configuration you really do need a SSD to compete or you won't see much use of the speeds. I'm still low on cash though.
