Some reason cant allign the pricing, ah well.
Personly i think its quite a decent systen dont mind spending a little more if the hw is worth it.
edit: im going to disconnect the facia to the drive cooler probs going to add one of those blanking plates for the pc-60 as i blue neons wouldnt suit.

oo forgot to note , if you know of ways of making it more silent i really wouldnt mind knowing , say if theres an absoloutly amazing cpu fan out there that doesnt increase heat at the same time reducing noise.

I'm toying around with the idea of getting this. but i can only find it in black i need it in white or preferably silver. If not im just simply gonna carry on with the 5.1 creative labs sb live ive got in this pc as its very nice.
I just think nvidia are much better. I went from having a gf2 ti (f**king ownage card) to a 9600xt and a couple of other ati cards and ive just found that nvdia just have a much better setup with drivers etc. plus the 6800 looks amazing.

agreeage with harv - that setup will own, especially if you can get your BIOS all nicely set up with things like RAM timings. The gf6800 will blow most of what ATi has to offer out the water at the moment and it would definiatly be my choice, but i admit to being a bit of an nvid over ati fan
you getting this in time for the LAN?

the asus Mobo is very nice, it's what's powering my machine.
and ART's x800 is the bomb, much better then the 6800.

its quite hard to find that particular case as i dont think they make it any more , however i might be wrong.
Maxtor is fine by me tbh. The only reason i went with that mobo is because it was in the deal , if you could however get me a decent msi or asus mobo for a reasonable price i would be very inclined to buy with joo.
If you could give me the prices individually would be great dude :). Also what ram is it?.
