Update: My build is put on hold due to unforeseen and unfortunate financial difficulties. The build will still invariably happen, but not as soon as I would like it to happen, I am still holding onto this thread though for reference, so all of your valuable advice definitely won't go to waste.

this is where i got my info on sandy bridge.

Bubba, you'd know off hand sooner than it would take me to look it up, when is Sandy Bridge hitting the market? I thought it was December, that still the initial release? If so I'd wait to see what Sandy Bridge looks like AzureNightmareX1. Isn't Sandy Bridge that CPU/GPU hybrid chip? I think it is,...

Yeah, that seems to be the case normally, its happened on every build I've done up till now. I'm also thinking about modding the case myself to add casters and handles, just in case the big bastard needs to be moved.

man, I really need to visit this place more often, you guys are just amazing. Thanks to your combined expertise this is looking to be my biggest and grandest build yet. I'm definitely gonna have to do a build thread. :) Edit So here is the current planned build as it stands right now: EVGA 141-GT-E7...

hmm..while I am uneasy about watercooling once more (understandably so) This solution is particularly attractive, though I still worry about my hoses springing a leak or some other failure wiping out my system. For the time being it has been added to my shopping list. Thanks for all of the help. I a...

I didn't really consider anything aside from air since I had a bad experience with a Koolance external water cooling unit (both pumps failed and the resulting heat damag...

because its been years since my last major upgrade, my computer desperately needs one. As for the value of it, I consider the value of my computer to be how long it will last, and my computer will be outdated for two years come december. A good hefty rebuild like what I am planning will allow me to ...

When you start building start a build thread. Something this big will get a lot of drooling. Will do. Definitely will do that. Depending on how nice you want your wiring you might want to invest in some cable extensions. Example: http://www.nzxt.com/new/product.php?series_name=Premium+Cables&se...

Mountain Mods it is then! I was looking at them this morning and was thinking that their cases are rather nice looking, Thanks for the help gentlemen, you just put the second to last piece of the puzzle in its place...now to find a design that is appealing to the eyes to have done as a custom powder...

I am currently planning my next computer build, which is likely to happen in early 2011, and I am looking for a case that will suit my needs. This is gonna be a monstrous build, with an emphasis on performance. I need a case that is absolutely cavernous and can hold 4 large video cards as well as a ...

I love my razer copperhead mouse and razer tarantula keyboard. They're both very solid. I think Xoxide still has the bundle deal i took advantage of.

I need to contact my ISP to upgrade to the 6Meg connection, its only $5 more a month

My Sapphire Radeon HD4870 is overclocked to 790MHz core and 950MHz Memory, it idles at about 49/50c core and 55c memory. On load it peaks about where you peak at, maybe just a smidge hotter.
