Please critique, offer suggestions as you see fit. Right now the machine costs about ~$1700. The plan is to have the two VelociRaptor's in a RAID-0 setup for those curious. And I'm looking at a max resolution of only 1650x1050, although when gaming I don't NEED it to be that high. Also, I don't intend to overclock and possible additions down the road might include more RAM, another video card (for SLI) and maybe a TV tuner.
Thanks!
