Now, That's what I call a great system. Lucky you

For your case, the Silverstone TJ09, which color do you want? I know the pictures on Newegg show it in black, but the name/title says it is in silver. You might want to confirm which color you are ordering with Newegg. Just to be sure.

Did you decide to go with 1 8800GTX? I thought I saw a previous list where you had 2.

I think im gonna paint it anyway

Did you decide to go with 1 8800GTX? I thought I saw a previous list where you had 2.

not sure yet i may start with one and go to SLI if i think it will improve gaming that i can notice with my naked eye... or is it a no brainer to get 2?

or should i wait 12 months or so aand get two new versions in a sli config..
still debating this

Anyone see any conflicts with the above items ... this will be first build ... i think they all go with each other ... is there anything i could do to make it better with current tech ?

Hard drive config advice for screaming gaming ?

[Silenced_Coyote]

Any particular reason for getting 2 optical drives?

Yeah, it is a lot easier making copies directly from the original disc. I think I may get another drive soon just for that reason (and my burner crapped out on me )

But damn dude, you are one lucky guy. That is going to be one amazing machine.

[Silenced_Coyote]

Well, I don't see any problems with your setup.

You could go quad core if you felt like it. lol
