I hate you, your computer is gonna kick ass.

Wow. That computer owns mine.

I may not get the 3.2Eghz cpu, prices are suppose to go down on the 3.4ghz cpu. So I will se how it plays out and im getting the CPU last (In August) so prices will be down by that time and I think Intel is going to release some new cpus today.

meh, i think you should go 2.8, more stable, then get liquid cooling and overclock it to 3.4. also, imo, 120GB WD's HD last long, more stable, so 2 120 GB would be better imo. make sure you get 120mm fans, quiter and better.

i don't know how the price is on the 160gb compared to two 120, but both me and a friend have WD 160gb discs and there has never been any trouble with them at all.

I installed a new WD 160 hard drive on my grandmothers computer (im using it now) and we have not had any trouble with it at all. I will post the prices of what im getting.


Edit--- Look at my 1st post to see prices. Some of the things have went up like the power supply is now $114. I will be getting all of my stuff from www.newegg.com there prices are GREAT. The only thing im not getting at newegg.com is the ATI X800 XT, I will be getting that from www.gateway.com They are cheaper then everyone else for that.

Omg nice work!

Look at this very cool case i found on there

you could always wait until Intel releases their 64 bit mother board/cpu, but I don't know when that's gonna happen. I was reading an article about it. And you can get the radion x800 pro for only $409, follow me over the magic rainbow[r]over to the magical http://www.pricewatch.com/

I would,but im going to let the 64 bit get into full swing and thats about 2006 or so.
