So here's what I have picked out for a computer

[DaJe]

I keep changing all kind of things, but I think I've settled on it now. I downgraded a few things (CPU and GPU mostly) from what I originally had, but now I'm able to throw in a 24 inch moniter as well.

Here it is. (http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=3572225)

Anything you guys would suggest be different about it? I've heard some bad things about that case, but it's basically a temporary one for me for now. Once I save up more money, I plan to extremly mod it, and buy a new case as a skeleton for my mod.

lol you need to copy and paste the list as we cant see your shopping list!

[DaJe]

You should be able to, that's a public wishlist.

[Airbozo]

I can see it fine.

I like that the case comes with "white" gloves...

damn thats quite the beast of a pc. with a machine that big, you should run a custom case.

[public_eyesore]

for your mobo get the asus p5w Dh Deluxe, its the best mobo for the conroes.
Also if you wanna save some money get the e6600 and just overclock it a little the price difference is not worth the speed increase. And for your video card get a x1900xtx and with the cash you save get a watercooling system.

[DaJe]

I actually originally had the p5w Dh Deluxe picked out, but went with this one because it supports SLI. I think I'll stick with the e6700 and overclock it, I already downgraded from the X6800. I also have about another $300 left, but didn't want to spend it all.

[public_eyesore]

with hacked drivers you can use the board for sli
Also why not get a 7950gtx2 or whatever its called, the card with two cards in one. It runs about 500 dollars

[XcOM]

That board dosen't support the Nvidia 7950 GX2 cards,

and why bother using hacked drivers, you will lose stabilty. Thats a nice system, the new intels are not bad, i personally would go AMD, but its upto you.

That is a good system BTW.

[DaJe]

I originally had the 7950GX2 picked out, but the 7900GTX is still good, though I do need a lot of power as I'll be doing stuff like 3D rendering. I myself would've gone with AMD as well, but this is supposed to be more powerful.

[Silenced_Coyote]

Once I save up more money, I plan to extremly mod it, and buy a new case as a skeleton for my mod.

So if I am reading this right, you will have 2 cases? Why don't you just buy the "skeleton case" and mod that when you got the money? That way you don't have to spend $70 on the Sunbeam case and then $xx on another case.

[DaJe]

I'll be fine with buying this and then another later.

[DaJe]

My account balance is now $3,126.93 and I'm about to buy it. Any last minute input?

Right now I'm trying to decide if I should get the current motherboard or the P5W DH DELUXE. Or if I should get the 7950GX2 instead of the 7900GTX, or maybe I should get an ATI. Help me decide quickly people!

[DaJe]

Okay, so I was able to purchase it yet, but will VERY soon. I'm decided on everything but am now having second thoughts about the motherboard. I made another thread about it here http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4292

[EPYK]

if your doing alot of intensive work on this, you might want another hdd, and raid them... just incase something happens and you dont find yourself lost

[DaJe]

So I've changed the motherboard and video card, now I'm thinking of not getting the moniter and adding watercooling. Any sugegstions for the water cooling?

[public_eyesore]

get a custom kit from danger den. Also make sure to get 1/2" barbs and tubes.

[DaJe]

Actually, I'll just order the computer for now, and add watercooling later.
