i have no clue what you are talking about. is this in some sort of code or something?
anyway theres like a million different brands and stuff so itll be hard to choose just one and computers have 5 million parts (exageration) so i cant tell you what exactly i would want. i know i would want the best parts compiled together in one machine but what is the best? we expirience different results from different brands and theres thousands of brands out there. ill just give a vauge answer. THE BEST.

Since I am not performance freak, I think I would go fro almost silent computer. I wouldn't go for water cooling though, since I think water and fine electronics can't be mixed. I would use heat pipes with 80mm fan blowing at +5V. But system must give some sound and I think fans at +5V are sound kinda "cool and relaxing". Little fan with 5000rpm on my CPU is like wasp buzzing around my head, LOL. I will report about that in the future.
