with case, cables, s&h + tax, it came to around 1850 from newegg. I went with the p4 because im a loyal intel fan. I'm not going to overclock, and I don't want to start a flaming thread, but I went with the p4 because of intel's track record on stability, etc. I also chose the northwood core over the prescott just due to the fact the prescott's are so damn hot.

Awesome man, mind telling me how your price came out? I wnat to see if i priced my stuff right.

Awesome i was thinking about getting the Audigy two but since it isnt vital to the system i can still think about it and purchase it later.

Ill take some pics of mine when its done and we can share

Nope, wait until you get it all, but just think of us with our new systems fragging away on d3. :)

Hey RadioHead84

All my stuff came out to just under $2000. Right what my budget called for.
I already have a Sony GDM-F520 monitor and my old 4.1 Klipsch speakers, so I didn't really need to spend money on these things.
