I was browsin around and this caught my eye. I don't feel like trying it out yet. I'll leave that to you guys :D . Looks like the major thing...
I second the FX600-GLN. I've had it for about a month on my P180 and it has been totally rock-solid since the first POST. It's great that it has the lastest PSU specs too. It is also very quiet, and the fan does an amazing cooling job. I've never felt warm air come out from its exhaust. I don't...

Higher CPU score but graphics card scores are relatively unchanged...I am running the latest driver (84.21). Should this be right?

Seems kinda low...is it just because everything is stock right now?
I have a 7900GTX, but haven't had the chance to test it out yet...until Monday comes =D
Super ultra step up from my y2k Compaq w/ AMD 650mhz Athlon, 256mb RAM, and 32 mb Geforce 2 MX (had Geforce 256 before that burned out last fall).
My 600W FSP Epsilon is great. Just made a build with it this past week and it has been flawless. Very quiet and cool.
This was my first build and I used the DFI Expert. I ran into a problem at first but quickly corrected it by consulting the forums at DFI-Street. It takes a lot of patience...
The EVGA 7900GTX EGS at Newegg only has 18...correction...now 17 (it changed while I was writing this) left at the moment...looks like its gonna be gone soon again.
Very glad I got it two weeks ago. :)
Newegg back in stock:
eVGA 7900GTX EGS
$539.00 + $5.59 shipping = $544.59
Checked how many I could put in shopping cart and it came out to be 41.

Couldn't wait anymore for the price to drop...ordered a couple of minutes ago...
If you are talking about the door, I believe you don't have to send it back to Antec according to the other threads I've read. Not 100% sure though. Why not ask Antec?
Ahhh mannn now I have no idea what to do with my build. Maybe I ought to skip the X1900XT, get the 7800GT and then step up to the 7900GTX or something. Are there anything about computers that stay the same??
O man no need to scare me like that Hvatum... :rolleyes: Do you feel the P180 is that bad?
Thanks for the pics draconius. Is that the case with the revised magnetic door?
I'm gonna be waiting for your pics daedal. I'm guessing you are getting the solid aluminum one correct? Thanks in advance.
For some reason people usually talk about how cold it was when the door warped. I live in NY so it does get pretty cold up here sometimes.
Pictures anybody?
I am building my first system. Here's a list of the parts I'm thinking about:
Definites
DFI Lanparty SLI-DR Expert
AMD Opteron 165
Antec P180
Can't Decide
G.SKILL Extreme Series 2x1GB PC-4000
---Or Mushkin, OCZ
ASUS/Sapphire Radeon X1900XT
---Or eVGA 7800GT CO (470/1100)
Enermax...
I am planning to buy an Antec P180 for my first build (yea its gonna be tough), and I wonder if anyone knows if they are selling them with the solid aluminum door right now. Or does everyone need to call Antec for a replacement.
Another thing is I've seen everyone talk about the door and...
