Help Me Spend $3000.00

Make sure the PSU supports 2 PCI-E connections or get adapters(if that is possible) Other wise it is upgrade time when you get that 2nd 7800.

Just looking down the road..

We have 3 legit copies of XP Pro between the 2 of us... one copy will stay on my old PC which is going to be my son's computer. That leaves a copy for her machine, and a copy for mine. I'm going to dual boot XP Pro and Debian.
 
OK here we go... if there is anything wrong here stop me before I pull the trigger...

Looks very good to me. I just got that CM case as well and am liking it quite a bit. It's much better looking in person, and the 80mm fan is pretty quite. Be warned though, there are a few sharp edges, so if you plan on doing wire management keep a couple band-aids handy. ;)

You were better off with the G.Skill Value RAM sticks. They're $13 cheaper each, which drops your total by $26. Otherwise looks good.
 
Is the G.Skill RAM better than the Crucial? If the Crucial is better I will spend the $ for it.
 
For value RAM that isn't going to be used for overclocking, the cheaper the better 'cause you won't notice any difference.
 
They aren't half-bad either, from what I've seen. Comparable to the OLD AND GONE Crucial Value sticks. Some people have been able to get 250MHz 3-4-4-8 :)
 
Looks good, tell us how it turns out.

Make sure to get your free Quake 4 too :p
