Thanks all. I already got a i7-870 in my pocket now :) Will need to buy a motherboard and CPU fan! Can't wait to get my i7 box setup.... but dread the application/file migration ... grrr :D

@cusidealbelincoln, thanks! I think I am leaning towards the 870 at this point just because of the cheaper board. Hopefully i will be able to upgrade again in 12-18 months. I think 4 ram slot should be enough. 16GB should be plenty for my home use. Yep, no time for gaming nowadays. the most...

you'll need a registry hack in order to do this. I have done this before with xp machines in common area in our office so that it auto logins automatically without prompting for password. Works like a charm. 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. In Windows Vista...

sweet :) but I am seeing a lot more ISP in our area deploying force10 for their 10gbps switching. Cost about 60% less http://www.force10networks.com/products/s4810.asp I wonder how it really stacks up in backplane performance :D

@Morg, the 1156 boards are definitely cheaper compared to the 1366. I am seeing a saving of around $40-50 for the board that I like. Yes it sux that Intel hates us and comes up with so much socket types with short lifespan. I love LGA775-like lifespan :D yeah I guess a little overclocking...

most likely bad heatsink compound placement (too much), or bad CPU fan placement. you have to make sure the heatsink touches the CPU in a perfect manner.

So, I can get either i7-920 (1366) or i7-870 (1156) from work. I already have the DDR3 sticks and will be putting either 8 or 12GB of ram in the computer. Already have video card and Hard Drive However, I will need to purchase the motherboard for either CPU in order to complete the Rig...

I agree. This is why I went for MSI wind vs Dell Mini. I know I will be kicking myself in the butt when I am out of disk if I opt for 16GB SSD.

same here! been in bed since 12am and it is now 2:30 am and I am still looking at my laptop good thing today is friday:)

Impressive!! :) Great job!!! Love the fast sas drives!

Hey we have the same power supply. Isn't modular PSU the greatest? :)

Oh yea... I got this case for$169 - 60 rebate = $109 This case is great for $109... however I can't see myself paying $259 retail price for this case ....

Overall I think the stacker is a great case. I have stacker 832 myself and loved it.. Pros: tons of fans tons of rooms to work with case layout carefully thought of nice screwless front panels great airfow nice usb locations GREAT side panels with 4 x 120mm fan slots Cons: case...

Heya, Thought it would be fun to see the inside of people's cases in this post. This may also motivate you lazy *** to clean up your cabling inside your case and be nice to your overclocked CPU :) Anyway, please comment the inside cabling job of my Coolermaster Stacker 832. This took me...

Nah I am pretty sure this computer did not booted. All my apps, my remote desktop connections, etc are still in tact. Orthos itself did not shutdown, but it became "IDLE" instead of "GO".
