Well, I bit the bullet and ordered this yesterday. Just a little bit nervous over the money I spent, so hopefully I can get some justification here that it was money well spent.
AMD Opteron 170 1GHz HT Socket 939 Dual Core Processor - Retail
ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
Coolermaster CM830
Turbo-Cool 510 Express / SLI
eVGA 256-P2-N563-AX Geforce 7900GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail
Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM
Corsair DDR500 TWINX2048-4000PT
Total price, about $2200 with tax and shipping.
While I am aware that for some, purchasing a 250 dollar case instead of getting a GTX video card may not seem like the best choice, I see the case as something that will last forever, while the video card might be something I upgrade in 6 months.
