nice rig. I didnt know corsair even made PC3700 LL, i thought that was up to 3200 only. Wow thats expensive too, you could get 2 gigs of 2700 LL and have money left over.

Nice box, although I like the Abit IC7-G and I'd double the memory,
and use 3200 or 3500 for tighter timings.

But thats just me.

They just released that memory last week or so.

Nice to see some people have enough money to throw on such a computer... I prefer Chieftec for cases, not Antec... just personal preference.

If I had more than $650 I would have put more into the comp I built in my sig. I'm happy with it, though.

Also, keep an eye on those harddrives since you're striping them... just remember, if one goes bad you're screwed, since all data is spread over both of them.

I'd go for a P4P800 Deluxe since the difference is very little but it'll save you money, get an Audigy 2 because with that kind of money you'll want more than integrated audio. Also, do you plan to overclock? If you don't, just go and get 512mb sticks of PC3200.

How long do you plan on keeping that video card and what resolution do you run your monitor at? Unless you do 1600x1280 or something and plan on keeping that card for 2 years or so, just get a 128MB FX5900 Ultra or 9800 Pro 128MB, whichever is cheaper since they perform almost identically.

Also, save yourself some money and get a 2.8C because the price difference doesn't really justify it, I mean 200 more mhz for like what, $120 to $140 more? You could get another HDD and have an even faster Raid 0 configuration with that.

Whoops... forgot..

Audigy 2 Will be added real soon

I run at 1600x1200 on 21" Viewsonic

Plan on keeping this system for a coulple of years

----------------

I also have a
3CR990SVR97 (3COM® SERVER ETHERLINK® 10/100 PCI NIC WITH 3XP PROCESSOR)

from a server box that I would rathewr use then the onboard but undecided on that as of yet.

If you're getting a P4C, get the new P4C-E version which uses ICH5R and CSA. I'm running a P4P800 and I love it. Smoothest build ever.
