I have probably another $800-900 to go still to complete the build. I hope that the 5870's will come down a little in price closer to Christmas! Hoping to have this built by mid November....will post pics when I build it! Thanks for looking and if anyone has a suggestion on the parts I have yet to purchase please feel free to say something!

Isn't the 5870 cards only $380 before shipping at Newegg?

I think so........I just saw that those who have it in stock RIGHT NOW seem to be jacking the price up...... I was just shootin at the highest price. If I have to spend less then its a bonus!

Can I ask what the difference is between the PC-P50 and the PC-P50WB?

The WB has got a Window, and the inside of the case is ALL BLACK. It looks amazing inside. My build is a red/black theme and I also just really like the look of the inside being black over the raw/silver aluminum.
 
Ah, got it. Well, I have looked in forums everywhere, and it appears that Lian Li has a history of delayed releases. Some people think it may still be weeks or months for the WB.

In the meantime, what are your feelings on the Antec 1200, or the 902? I also thought the Silverstone FT01 looked pretty interesting.

I just REALLY like the Lian Li engineering........everything is put together so well and seems so smooth and perfect! I researched all of those cases, but the final look/build of them just doesn't do it for me. The Lian Li tool-less design is wonderful and their cable management system is also great! I want to build this thing with as little hassle as possible, from start to finish including wire management!

If I did buy a Silverstone it would be the RV02B-W Raven 2 Black.

Haha. Thanks. If/when I find this case I'll let everyone know. I wont be done purchasing all my hardware for another month or so...........hopefully at the end (case will be last) this case will be out for me to purchase! If not i'm going to try and get ahold of someone at lian li to sell me the red one, with the plain door on it. I HATE that gay dragon on the red case.......thats the only thing that stopped me from buying the red one.
 
Cases are subjective, so get what you like. With that said, Lian-Li is a fine choice.

For the CPU cooler, the Cogage True Spirit is one of the best bang for buck options. It beats the Titan and is cheaper, too:

$40 - Thermalright CoGage True Spirit 4-Heatpipe Core i7 CPU Cooler
 
Just talked to Lian-Li and the case I want will not be out until Mid Dec. Just fyi.
