General desktop use, but that does include some image processing
and plenty of virtualisation. It will also be a build host for some
lower powered Gentoo systems, so fast compile times, and plenty of

1090t seems to pull in a lot and need good (and maybe noisy) fans.
I've just bought a 965 (a 1100T wouldn't boot despite being supported
by the latest bios). The CPU fan is very quiet when the system is
idling, but spins up
