what case is that?

Silverstone Temjin TJ03. I've had it since January and I love it. Just got the windowed side panel last night, and while expensive, once I move my PC off my floor and to a place where it'll be more visible, I think it'll look better than just plain black siding.

now i hate you too, thats my favorite case of all time

system specs?
 
System specs are in my sig, only difference is the processor. I'll update that once it's installed.

EDIT: I'll also have benchies of the before/after variety. I have CS:S/HL2 installed, Doom 3 lying around, and 3DMark 03 and 05 installed. If anyone has any benchmark requests for the before/after, or if there's any other standardized benches, let me know.
 
I spent $700 after taxes on the FX-57. No shipping since I picked it up from a local store.

It is at this time that I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND BlueBonePC, the store where I got this gear. I'm guessing I was able to get a better deal since I visited the B&M store, but the guy I dealt with, Alan (who is the owner/operator I think) was extremely friendly, helpful, and definitely knew his stuff.
 
the cheapest i saw one ebay was 470US + like $20 shipping so like 490US shipped. Brand new in box. no one can imagine how mad i was when i didnt pay enough attention to it and lost it
 
The following benches are run on my current rig, prior to installation of the FX-57. My rig is as follows:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 90nm Winchester @ Stock speed
Zalman CNPS 7000B-AlCu LED HSF
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe w/Zalman ZM-NB47J passive chipset cooler
2x 1GB OCZ Platinum EL RAM @ 1T 2-3-2-5
2x BFG 6800 GT OC
