I have the 530 (not the 530s). It came with the 2.4 quad core, 3gigs of
800mhz ram and a 500 gig hard drive. I added another 500 gig hard drive,
a 9600gt video card, did the "tape mod" to overclock it to 3.0 ghz and
put a artic cooler rev.2 cpu fan in it (gawd its huge). It runs very
cool at about 32 at idle and seldom gets past 46 running prime95.
