tigerdirect... and I got it in june. read siggy for some of the other stuff I'm getting, but ram changed... getting either the crucial ballistix or mushkin performance... both pc6400

Ultra X3 for PSU... I don't think that I can return the case (shoulda posted this with the rest but hit enter for some reason) but I'm not skimping on anything else... just didn't know about the case, this is my first build, should be finished in feb or march

It is not that big a deal, mgcook just blows it all outta proportion....

i seriously think you should "skimp" and get the q6600 :laughing:
much more performance/$$$$$.
also crucial ballistix are high performing
and i would recommend a single ultra unless your playing, on a monstrous monitor or dual or tri monitor setup.

Should have done what i did, and go to the forums first I'm getting a cool master stacker 830 myself Cooler Master CM Black Stacker 830 ATX Full-Tower Aluminum Case with Vented Side, Front USB, Firewire and Audio Ports RC-830-KKN2-GP at TigerDirect.com.

Newegg.com - NZXT Zero Black/Silver Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail
Newegg.com - XCLIO Windtunnel Fully Black Finish 1.0 mm SECC Chassis ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail
(note : not sure how this one performs, looks ****** sweet though)

Beats me, i would have to look into each case, but i think the cool master is still the nicest looking available

windtunnel looks way cooler tbh

windtunnel looks like a big black block with two huge fans on the side...

that's how they should have designed the PS3.
