I think i'm missing the point to this thread. Do you want people to recommend to you what to build? or are you showing off how good you are at finding deals?

I think he's telling us what he's going to put in his next system. I could be wrong.

Whats the point of your damn thread.....or are you just showing off??.....

Have some kind of point to make when making a thread ...retard.

First of all - why pay $75 more for the same performance and quality? (A7V266-E vs. Shuttle AK31A)

Second - For non-server apps, the Maxtor D740X performs better than the 60GXP. Check StorageReview.com if you don't believe me.

I bet you like listening to that screech, eh? I don't really know if the WBK38 is really that tolerable.

BTW, where did you get a XP1800+ for $175?
