I put together my new rig last night and it was a smashing success. Parts list here:
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1346114
My last build was a bad one - made me nervous this time around. But this one came together quite well. I figured I'd post a quick note letting you all know how successful things went (People don't tend to update - so you often don't know how things went).
That Antec 900 case is a nice case. Very little plastic, solid, easy to work in. I like it very much. The vid card rocks, much better than my GT7800.
I was nervous about another ASUS motherboard - my last one had crappy drivers and bad support. The P5Q however is very nice. The driver disk is garbage as usual - but that's for the motherboard forum.
The Gskill RAM had no problems, and you can't argue with 4 gigs for $78. Raid array setup was very easy, and the hard drives are adequate (I'm sure there are faster out there but they are fast enough for me).
All in all - I wouldn't trade any of the components. Solid build, $1200 bucks shipped (including the misc. junk I purchased like cables, thermal grease, etc.)
Thanks for all the help - [H] for the win...
