Well, it's on order. I was able to get Corsair ram with lower latency for about $10 cheaper than the Gskill. Build is scheduled for next Friday.

IT'S ALIVE!!! MWHAHAH   Loading windows right now!!!!     Amazingly quiet for 5 fans with the side panel off. After I verify it really works after windows loads, I need to reroute cables, but I'm pretty pumped.

Well, I'm up and running. Kind of, MB is supposed to have onboard audio. I installed the drivers, but no audio device is found  . It's getting late and I have duty tomorrow, so I guess troubleshooting (or a sound card) will have to wait untill Wed. The thing that really stinks is CoD4 won't even run with out it, so I didn't get to try it out.

WOW! I love it! Got the audio problem fixed. Now I'm running CoD4 with everything maxed at 60-80 FPS! I've got an issue with the case front panel headphone jack, and KatDaddy seemed to have problems understanding me last night on TS. I'll get those fixed soon enough. The case is awesome. 3 120mm fans, 1 200mm fan and the Zalman CPU fan, keeps temps around 75 deg after an hour of gaming.

Call me crazy, but I think that with the improved FPS and higher graphics settings, my gaming has improved. I never used to get positive k/d ratios, but now I am.

So thanks for the help and advice everyone, you definately helped me get a good machine. Now I need my wife to be done with school so I can use it more. I hate sharing  lol

Just curious.  What was the total out of pocket on this monster.  Mine is getting a bit long in the tooth.

Without mail in rebates $945   With rebates $795. That's shipping and everything.

I did skimp on a couple of things that I'll get later when I can hide the costs. I didn't get a sound card, I only got 1 DVD/RW, and I only got 1 250Gig hard drive.
