Haven't done this in a while. May I suggest:


Case - Lian-Li PC-A70B Full Tower
Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 OEM
Motherboard - XFX MB-N780-ISH9 nForce 780i SLI
Memory - Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2-800
Graphics cards - EVGA 8800GTS 512 x2
Power supply - PC Power and Cooling Silencer 610W
Hard drive - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB
Optical drive - ASUS Black 20X SATA DVD Burner
Heatsink - Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme w/Cooler Master 120mm 2-fan pack (for push/pull method)
Monitor - Gateway FHD2400 24" 3ms
Keyboard - Logitech G11
Mouse - Logitech G5 w/ the two side buttons
Sound card - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1
Speakers - Logitech THX Z-5300e 280 Watts RMS 5.1


Around $2,900-3,000.

thats what i was thinking only make the xtremegamer a fatality cuz then you get the x-ram or w/e
and then z-5500 and a g15 instead of g11 and a g7 instead of g5
and RAID 0 two of those HDD's

The X-RAM feature seems like a gimmick.

All of those additions that you suggested, would go over the budget.

lol...If you don't mind the noise, that would be a good fan. But in my opinion, Thermalright products do good with low cfm fans. It's not necessary for high cfm, because they're high quality heatsinks.

ok, maybe I will go with the coolermasters, but I was planning on using one of these "Ultra Kaze" on a rheostat for my rear exhaust. I may get those coolermasters for my side fans also... I dunno that I really care for the LED's though. Oh, I wanted to get a higher cfm fan in what ever slot blows on the NB.

Just cut off the wires leading to the bulb. That's what I did, when I had too many LED fans.
