Please help finish this rig.

[cazicthule]

purchased or already have:
2x1gb OCZ platinum ram - purchased
BFG 7800GT OC - purchased
Antec Neopower 480w - purchased
xp90 with silentcat fan - purchased
200gb seagate IDE hd - have
80gb wd IDE hd - have

deciding on:
AMD64 3000 or 3200 venice
(both seem to overclock to the same level of about the 2.6ghz range)

DFI Lanparty nf4 ultra or non ultra
(the ultra has dual gb lan and sata II, any other differences?)

Antec SLK3000B or P180 - deciding
(the SLK costs 45$ shipped vs the 120$ shipped of P180, the P180 weighs 30-36 lbs itself, the P180 has a much better sound for the same db)

Any additional comments are welcome.
Many thanks to everyone who has helped me

I'd agree with most others; get the ultra.

I'd also lean towars the P180. Great case!

Why though... the 3000 should oc as well as the 3200 right? The case is 75$ more, and the ultra gets you sata II and dual lan....?

YES. And get the 3000+ Venice. You'll be able to overclock it just as well, if not better. And get the P180. With any luck, you'll be able to reuse it several times. That's assuming that Intel's BTX gets scrapped.
