I am building a rig that will be used for light work (spreadsheet work mostly) but it is going to be in a hot climate.
I have not custom built a comp in about 4 years and I want to make sure this mobo, cpu and cooler combo is going to work alright.
MB: Intel "D865GBF" i865G

CPU: 1.7 Celeron
Cooler: Thermaltake P4 Spark 7+

The case will have two 120mm(F and R'course) fans and the case temp is monitored w/ alarm, of course I will monitor the CPU with software... Intel you-aint-gaming-on-this Graphics 2 will make sure I don't have a VGA heating the place up.
Both HD will be bathed in wind from the front 120mm, they are 10K drives that will be RAID mirrored (1 is it?) is that enough cooling for them or should i do more?
(they will not be run hard at all, i just need top reliability on meh data)
I am hoping the 1.7 Cel will run much cooler than the 2.4. Is that true? Or am I looking at a minor temp difference?
I am considering liquid cooling but if I can get away without it I will.
