Not good ! lol
I water cooled mine primarily cos i wanted a silent system. Dont think i would bother again though tbh. I didn't go for a water cooled power supply as at the time they were horrendously expensive. Since then the PSU fans have started to rattle a bit so its as noisy as an air cooled system anyway now.
Its an overclocked Athlon64 skt 939 FX-60 @2.93ghz. Overclocked 7800 GTX GPU`s in SLI. In its day it was the nadgers - £600 just for the cpu but prices have fallen loads since then. I think the ram was over £200 second hand. Dated now but still quick enough to run everything but the latest games on max settings/full res 1680 x 1050
Back to the Dell - look on Ebay Nick for someone selling a second hand tower - shouldnt cost you an arm and a leg. Although it will most likely be cheaper to upgrade what you have got, your throwing good money after bad in my opinion. I got rid of a P4 system to build my current one and to be frank my current system is out of date.
Good luck
