it looks like its going to be an amazing system! what are you gonna be using this system for, and what os are you gonna be using? if winxp (or even win2k), then you may want to think about getting 512 megs of memory. I've never had the honor of working in an antec (i am using the enlight right now), but i hear good things about it. what will be your deciding factor in choosing between the vivo/no vivo (it seems to me like 30 bucks isnt that much when spending as much as you are about to)? many here would tell you that the Epox would also be a worthy contender to the Asus (i was planning on building a system in the next two months with the epox, based on the raving in these forums).

the only thing else i can say, is.....i wish i had $1800...;)

If you want to get a flat panel cheep check the hot deals thread for the dell 20% off monitors thing. I think it ends tomorrow and there's some bizarre way you have to get the coupon. Free shipping, too.

great idea! even if you dont get the dell monitors, there are tons of hot deals on flat panels in the hot deals forum (thats why they call it the hot deals forum ;))!
