I'm waiting on the video card until 6800 GT prices come a little down. Anyone know when? Suggestoions?
Artic Silver

Not sure if your clearcase is like mine BUT IT SUCKS. The motherboard bolts directly to the side plastic. Want to change a cdrom or HD? Gonna have to unbolt the side and swing it out of the way with the motherboard attached to it. That would also mean pulling all your pci and agp cards. I'm going back to my Lian Li case and giving my to some sucker.

Doesn;t that motherboard come with a built in nic ??

You rig looks good.

Thermalright makes awesome heatsinks, and Arctic Silver won't disappoint. That 92mm Tornado is going to do the job, but it will be LOUD. I'm not kidding, I had an 80mm Tordano, and it was way too loud for me. Since, you aren't overclocking, the Tornado is overkill.

 

[dheffer]

not too bad, and yeah i think the mobo comes with built in lan

 

[mAsTAd]

Right, it does come with built in LAN. Whoops, take out NIC card.

And any1 know when the 6800 GT prices gonna come down?

Also, I don't care too much about noise and I might o'c a little. Are there any quiter fans with same cooling as Tornado?
Should I take Crucial Ram over Kingston?

 

[mAsTAd]

And should I take the AOpen Ak89 Max over the Asus K8v se deluxe?

 

[FiberoN]

MSI K8N Neo Platinum tbh

Why get an NForce 3 150GB mobo when 250GB is here?
