Just wanted to post this and get some opinions. I'm developing a new system so that I can give this one to my Fiance. You know how it goes, give them the hand-me-downs (Grin). I've put a lot of thought into this and the total price is a rough estimate, no actual cost saving research has been complete. I've found only one place that sells the new ASUS Mobo.

None of this includes the case design and modifications. I plan to custom build a case as well with probably a 600+ Watt PSU.
