Looks great.
Suggestion you could drop the soundcard and change it for a Bigfoot K1 Killer NIC.
i would have got a 1tb samsung, theyre nearly as fast as raptors, and spent the money on a 4870x2
unfortunatly they didnt have k1s, ill just get one from somewhere else & the card was only 60 bucks so i thought y not, i prefere it to the realtek one.
i chose a single 280 than 2 4870s cos its few hundred bucks cheaper and almost as good, also less power and heat, mite just wait till there are some good sli mobos out and 2 280s would shit on em neways.
couldnt get samsung drives but i dont really mind wd are pretty good.

nah the new 4870x2 is a single card and its better than the 280 but looks like a fuckin good setup
when the new 280s come out soon theyll be better than a 4870x2, until then nothing beats it.
Besides a 2gb 4870x2 is cheaper than a 1gb 280 :)
yer i was trippen, didnt even see tha 4870x2 dont no wat one i was talkin bout
ill change that, bit more expensive but...
on average theyre $650 - www.shopbot.com.au
im gettin all my stuff cost price and it worked out 30 bucks more not a big deal but lol
everything looks fine hippo.
just wondering why you got the extreme cpu's? Are you planning to OC it with water/dryice?
how much is total :)
just over 2700
i got an extreme cos it was cheap and im watercooling it
cheapest is: $1655 lol. Are you sure you wanted the extreme? (lol, there isnt a non-extreme version)
