Already have:

Antec P180B ($99 shipped at Outpost!)
Lite-On DVD burner
Seagate 7200.10 400GB SATAII 16mb $110 - 26 MIR = $84 AR, not too shabby (people are reporting to get 7200.10's in a .9 box, luck of the draw, I guess..)
GeIL GX22GB6400DC 2GB Kit DDR2-800 PC2-6400 DDR 2 Series Dual Channel Memory Retail ***Free Shipping*** @ $199.00
The rest of the puzzle:
1) AM2 strategy (SLI, K8L quad-core drop-in)
AMD X2 3800+ AM2 $150
Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition Motherboard $200
XFX 7950GT (passive-cooled) $300
Seasonic 500 or Corsair HX520 ~$120
A few points,
- Silence is one of my top goals in this project; passive video card, passive northbridge and a good efficient PSU are a must
- Is there a NON-wireless Asus M2N32-SLI?
- I don't care about DX10, I need the system now.. besides, I'm coming from a "Radeon" 9000 here, lol.
I appreciate any of your tips. This is a great community, and I've lurked on and off here for quite a few years, but now it's time to step up to the plate!
