Just put together a new build using the Z68XP-UD3-iSSD from Gigabyte. I set it up as raid, installed the OS and all the drivers. However, when I try to set up SRT for the included SSD, I am not getting the "accelerate" tab that I should be getting. I've look online for any assistance, but most...

Most people say the PS3 version runs and looks better and has less pop-in.

Yeah it seems as if my dream is fading. I have to compromise somewhere, so I think i'm just going to get a mid tower case, a Gigabyte ds3l mobo, and a psu in place of the shuttle. SFF dream is over! And, Syribo, a $700 bag IS ridiculous!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Mr Wizard, the power supply also concerned me, but I don't know if 250 is enough for the 8800 gts. I am not married to this case by any means, but the smaller the better. I like this dell case on the xps, for example...

Okay, this is what I'm currently looking at: Shuttle case, $225: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856101039 E6750 $180 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115029&Tpk=6750 evga 8800 gt $190...

No, I need to explain why a computer that I don't need is okay but a $700 handbag (that she apparently needs??) isn't. But really, that is besides the point :)

Okay, I've been out of PC gaming for 2 years since I came to school (only own a laptop (mac)), so I am way out of touch with the PC hardware scene. I've been trying to read up on a lot of stuff, but it's finals, and I don't have any free time. I want to order my hardware soon - Monday...

Last bump before I visit ebay!

Uppers

Bought less than 2 months ago, upgrading to PCIe because I received a card for my birthday :) Price is $225 shipped (OBO) comes with all the cables, box, remote, etc. Please note that I will not ship first. I am paypal verified, and am more than happy to create an ebay auction with a BIN...

I went from a 9800 Pro to an x800 xt, and the difference was quite remarkable.

Like the folks above, if someone is interested in earning some $, pm me, looking for a 850 xt.

Can't you only step up once? If so, why "waste" it now...never know what the next two months will bring. It's not like the bump will make a lot of difference in current games.

Return it; they've been pretty good with me about returns in the past.
