nooooo..i personally like the v1000.  ;) theyre sweet cases internally.  :yes: good choice on hardware,if i had the money my system would like almost identical. (Y)

actually this one is the v1200.. supports 12x13 (ETX) :D

Steve Do you like buying systems every 6 months or Is it just my imagination

[ANova]

I personally think it's all a waste of money but it's your decision. My only suggestion would be to replace that 6800 Ultra with an X800 XT PE or X850 XT as they're generally faster in a smaller pcb while drawing less power.

There are also other ways to decrease that cost such as getting a cheaper motherboard (do you really need a $240 motherboard?) as well as different ram; you are paying for the brand after all. But again, that's totally up to you.

Im a nVidia fanboy but this will beat the 6800 ultra. for cheaper to. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-102-483&depa=0

Hey steven maybe you can get some of the parts from the frys right there on Baseline road just past S. Priest dr going toward the UACT school. Will they have some cheaper prices?

[Sqube]

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't get all the parts from Newegg unless you REALLY want them all to arrive together or something. Shop around, see if you can't find deals and things of that nature. There definitely isn't any reason for you to get all the stuff from them unless you work there and get a commission on the stuff that you sell/buy.

I love how you AMD ###### keep coming up with computers that don't even match what the **** i'm configuring. :laugh:

Where the **** are the Raptors and the 250GB HDD i put in there or the TWIN Plextor Drives or the DDR2-5400 RAM (675MHZ)?

Your configurations are gay so unless your going to post something THAT MATCHES to a T my configuration, shut the **** up because I don't care.

I love how you get so offended that people try to help. You know posts like that are inevitable no matter what you say about non-AMD setups. :p
