someone needs to DIE! while i was in the process of checking out the amd 3500+ went out of stock so now i have to wait for that AND the motherboard argh...oh well least i have the rest on the way! /cheer

Just a question, why are you getting the 80mm Tornado? I assume the 92mm is for the XP-90. Otherwise, all looks good. However, if a product is out of stock at Newegg and it tells an expected date of arrival, they will push that back even more if it doesn't come on the expected day. They've been doing that with the Xaser III for the past 3 months.

i should automatically have my Winamp set to cue up the Black Crowes' "Jealous Again" every time my IE address bar contains "forums.anandtech.com". nice setup, good luck

the 92 is for the xp-90, the others are for some other computers i have plus i've heard complaints/comments about how great they are and about how loud, so i was buying a few to test out in other systems and potentially to replace the fans in the thermaltake case

thanks for the nice comments i've researched every single component down to the fans on the system, so i get everything how i want it.

Have you tried another retailer? newegg.com or zipzoomfly.com (assuming USA)
And get the Asus or Abit instead of the MSI m Other than that, killer system you'll have there!

oops double posted

well thanks for the advice peanya, i used zipzoomfly to order the CPU and motherboard, and some other website to get the thermalright XP-90, so by end of next week i should have a few pictures of my dream rig to show you guys! thanks again for the help and advice/information
