I'm not 100% finished yet - having trouble with the fan controller - need a 4 pin cpu fan - not done w/ cable management. I've not attempted OC yet. Wanted to make sure it was a solid 'go' first. It appears all's well (fingers crossed).

And thanks to YOU Lethal for pointing out the err of my way. Like many others, I'm certain that the use of bold letters emphasizes your vigilant ways. It was after reading your poignantly highlighted Guidelines For This Forum back on August 11, 2008 that I began my search for a new comp...

I was wondering about that - thanks. I would have about 30 inches distance to view a 30 inch monitor... the more I thought about it the more I kept thinking it would be like sitting in the front row of an IMAX movie. Headed to BBY now to check a few out.

Tks Shawnasee. $3,005 with Tax Title and License. And like you said... I know it's overkill, but I'm havin' fun. w/o the monitor of course. I'm going to build it myself - this will be my first. (any and ALL pointers welcomed!!!)

Not yet... still pulling my hair out. Eyes are glazing over from staring at builds - but having fun. I don't feel bad about taking so long now after seeing you :D

So Shawnasee... After reading your thread a few times I noticed you made several adjustments along the way. What was your final spec / how's it running?

Excellent thread Shawnasee, tyvm.

Surfing, leaning and shopping from a builder's perspecive was fun... It's like a bad drug habit always wanting a little more, maybe even a little more than that. Oh hell if you went this far might as well go this route too. Thanks for the detox Danny Bui.

Monitor: HP f2105 Keyboard / Mouse: G15 & G7 I was planning on keeping the above for the new system unless otherwise directed. The 790i really caught my attention and I've found myself inching my way toward going all out - a new feeling around here I'm sure :) Hey, you guys are the...
