New build around $2000

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

I would also get a full tower case. 200$ for a mid size case is meh. I'll never go back to a mid size unless it's for a reason.

Thanks BTRY. I read some reviews on johnny guru and added the Corsair 950w Power Supply to my list. It got a great review.

edit: I'll look for a full tower.

what did page 3 say about the testing? how much did the voltage ripple? for example, the Revo 950 or 1050 (forgot which one they reviewed) either peaked at 30 or 40mv which is really good. That i think was the largest spike and it might of been the 12v rail.... but tell me what you read. bbl

EDIT: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story3&reid=170 - there is the page you want to read. Doesn't look too bad. But that is the page that is the most important...

Check out the ATCS 840, saw some recommendations here to other day, but I haven't worked with one. Antec P183 might be worth a look if you're interested in a quiet machine (I, however, am not because I have a Panaflo blaring as my exhaust. It's all white noise to me). Also read a review about a new case Zalman has out (Dailytech 12/29). Zalman's always made some really nice stuff, but never heard of their case quality

This is my main 24/7 pc case:

http://www.sundialmicro.com/lianli_mid-tower-pa20b_1926_1379.html - Sundial Micro has great prices on Lian Li cases. It's where I bought my PCA20 It's currently sold out there but as you can see by the pics, its an awesome case: quiet too.

The other case I have is the Corsair Obsidain 800 which is geared to house a h20 loop or two. You can find it at New Egg:

Hey guys, I need to put together a new gaming system but its been a long time. Not sure what's what anymore. I've done some reading and have put together a tentative list. Link below.

https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=7697469

I put 2 sets of memory in there, which should I get? I'll be buying 2 sets of them.

Are the 2 4850 video cards good?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :awe:

The system in my sig cost a whole lot less than two grand. And it is smokin' FAST!!
