Getting the itch....

LOL, I scratched mine a little harder, got her to 4.31gig stable, I added up how much it would cost to switch to Intel, geesh, $700 plus for a beast MB and 2600K....

Just couldn't justify the costs right now...

Enjoy your adventure.....

I'd go with the 800D no doubt, because I did go with the 800D :) Ordered it yesterday from Amazon for 235 free ship. I paired it with a Lamptron FC6, which is going to look awesome. I'm going to do the stealth disk drive trick as well:

Here's the Lamptron:

The brushed aluminum goes great with the 800D.

I plan to do a full watercooling setup with a 360 radiation that will fit perfectly in the top of the case. The 800D is the perfect case if you desire to watercool later.

Other cases you may want to look into are:
Silverstone TJ09 or TJ10

I'm feeling EXTREMELY inadequate right now running a x3 and, 4gb ram, and a 4870 1gb lol.

I'd wait a week or so. AMD just announced the new cards and there is supposedly more info coming on Monday. Don't buy any videocards right now because the bottom may fall out of the current cards if the performance figures match the specs on those new 7000's. They look to be beasts.

I'll believe that when I see it. Just don't go to the mall for a week and maybe you'll be able to resist.

LMAO!:D OK, I promise to be good...:p

Looks tight if you ever want to watercool. Otherwise, I love the Silverstone sideways mounting of the motherboard. That case looks to be really high quality.

maybe a christmas blowout reduction sale on the previous 6000 gen?

wake me up, i am dreamin'...

hoping...

Why not go with the enclosed liquid cooling systems (H60, H70, Kulher, etc)? They are on par with the highend air cooling set ups, but the thing I like about them is they take up much less room in the case and you don't have to worry about the huge cooler when you move your case around.

I like the Revo, I can boot in seconds. But I'm concerned with size. My WinSXS folder is growing beyond all rationality, and I fear that I'll run out of disk space. If I had it to do over, I'd get a bigger SSD.
