Get an ANTEC or Fortron if you want want something awesome and truly "within-spec".

BTW - best "box" I have used lately is either Lian-Li (GREAT all around) or if you want to get WILD (and have the $$$ for an extreme overclock) check out the vapochill - (www.vapochill.com) pretty nice but PRICEY.

LOL

you guys kill me.

This combo I built for my self in May...

Abit IS-7 w/corsair 800mhz matched memory running at 1 ghz +
P4-2.6a 800 fsb chip rinning at 3 ghz with the factory fan and heatsink !!
sata 150 drive. If you have a decent video card reuse it and this system is about $500 to build. The 2.6a is an awsome overclocker, it runs cool.
I like Antec cases as well. They seem to have good power supplies.
The 2.6a chip is now only like $160 or so.

This is the best computer part source i know of. Check out the search engine... its awsome.

Good luck...

Yah, good source for prices!

Next box is gonna be a AMD 64 XF. The Via chipset seems a lot more stable than the Nvidia chipset as well, so will go with a board with that chipset on it. I'm thinking of two 400W power supplies, one for the board and drives, the other for the video card and liquid cooling system.

The AMD XF are selling for about $750.00 (I think).

I bought a Zalman 400 W power supply. It was a breeze to instal.

The Kingwin case is awesome.

A7N8X-X.

I also bought a CD/RW, DVD combo for $46.00. But when I got connected to the web site, they said it's on sale for $57.00. I mentioned pricewatch.com in my order. We'll see if they honor the pricewatch price.

The confusing part now is knowing for sure where all the cables from the power supply go.
