I have an SG01. I'm not too happy with it, I don't know why I didn't see the SG03 when I bought this but I didn't, and I have been disappointed ever since I saw it. So I decided to purchase one, and it'll be getting here Thursday I believe.

A few other things I went ahead and ordered:

Two 120mm fans
The Silverstone ST70F, because of the 135mm fan, it's supposed to be quiet, and I want to upgrade eventually and figured it'd be one less thing
A couple black SATA cables to replace my red ones that don't have clips on them anyway
The Silverstone NT06 Lite

I can sell my SG01 but I don't know if I want to keep it and eventually do something else with it, so we'll see what happens there. I may end up keeping it and turning it in to a cheap file server sometime or something.

I'll definitely be selling my Antec power supply though. A buddy of mine wanted a power supply that's more than 420W (he's having issues with not having enough power I think. it's acting erratically).

I guess this is what happens when I rush in to a build and don't really think about what I want enough. I'm also kinda unsatisfied with my Intel DG35EC, but it gets the job done good enough. I'll stick with that until there's a DDR3 board out that is good, and DDR3 is cheap enough to call practical (i.e. replace my 8GB with another 8GB of DDR3 and not be hurting for money lol). So that'll probably be quite some time.

What I have currently that'll be transferring over is:

Q9300 Core 2 Quad
Intel DG35EC motherboard
8GB Geil Esoteria DDR2-800 RAM
MSI overclock edition 8800GTS
2 320GB Western Digital hard drives (the new single platter ones) in RAID0 through an Areca RAID controller

Good times. I'll keep y'all posted.
 
Sounds good. Good luck!

BTW it will be around 2010 when you can get 8GB of DDR3 RAM for the same price as 8GB of DDR2 RAM. :)
 
lol yeah I don't think it'll be any time soon that I upgrade my motherboard and core components. Unless I stumble upon a windfall of money. I also kinda want to wait until Nehalems come out and down in price some, and if 45nm was any indicator that won't be until this time next year anyway
