And thanks for the price list. :)

Np on the list, im happy to share my wealth *laughs* New chips, New video cards, memory speed increasing, oh yeah the cost going through the roof too rofl. If my last system is any guide I'll still be using my new one 8 years from now, and maybe looking for an upgrade ;)

It will give you FANTASTIC benchies thats a GARUNTEE

I have no doubt it will satisfy my needs, and for a cool grand less than Mr. FX-55 :laugh:

Really I just wanted to quote a set of quotes, sombody plz quote me. ;)

But seriously, that's awesome if you actually use your computer parts for 8 yrs. Too many newegg shoppers come off as spoiled brats who use Anand to tell them the best new Video Card to buy every Xmas. (In case you were still wondering, I'm unfortunately not one of these brats. And it pisses me off!) :)

Azndude,

The Tsunami case is AWESOME. I got mine today and it is great.



As far as your system goes Andy... I'd say forget about the Raid 0, it is a stupid idea I think. No gain to be had. I'd forget about that Raptor drive too. Not much difference and if you already have one no reason to get another. I'd get a Hitachi 250gig for 130 bucks or a Seagate 200gig (I bought the Hitachi)
personally I would have went with an Abit AV8 or A8V but the nforce3 does have some added features over those two that you might have needed

oh and the powersupply was a bit overkill but better to have extra I guess

If all goes well it should be a great comp for ya.

That seems to be the general feeling about the case, the #2 reason I bought it. :) As far as the raid 0, there is plenty of gain to be had, check around ;) Im sure I will be happy with the raptor's in raid 0, I have one sitting on my desk and another being shipped to me right now. Overkill? naaa overkill is the guy a few threads away with the nex fx-55 rig that cost upwards of 3k.
