So you ended up getting the DFI mobo? Also, you should have gotten the 10k rpm hard drive. We all know that 7200rpm is a huge upgrade from 5400rpm, and thats only a 1800rpm difference. The difference between 10000 and 7200 is 2800. So the move from 7.2k to 10k will be even bigger than the move from 5400 to 7200, which is already pretty big.
