XP1700+ @ 2000mhz @ 1.75v
Spire FalconRock II

^^ that is what a guy at another forum i go to is running his cpu at, the fan is a $40 australian dollar fan, the chip a $125 australian dollar chip, a total of $165. A chip clocked at 2000mhz costs $225 over here. Overclocking is a cheap way of getting high performance. The above is only an example, you can do better or worse pricewise depending on what you purchase....

some people also just do it for wank value, ie. people who buy vapochill units...
