Yeah they are worth getting. I'm gonna go get a Quad Core for future proofing but if you are getting a Dual core they are the things to get!

He is just joking, but if you look under your name it says newbie. Now if you look under Greensman's name it will say Senior Member. That's where you are in the food chain right now lol.
Nah I'm just kidding. Rank doesn't really mean much here. Enjoy :)

Also GM nice find on the case. But after shipping and stuff it's only 20 dollars less than the Antec 900, which is probably a better case. It's flashier certainly, and while I don't prefer that prospective buyers do.
Thanks for the link anyway.
P.S. I've bought for Zip Zoom Fly three times and none of my rebates have ever come in.

You wanna know what looks awesome? Having Blue LED fans and green cold cathodes. The kind that go on and off to the beat of your music. I'm getting some of those in my new build, it's gonna be so awesome!
As for the E8400, Intel always priced their BETTER, and FASTER CPUs at lower prices. The E6750 is a prime example of that. While the crappier E6600 chip is more expensive the better, faster, and cooler running chip is cheaper.

I know we've gone a little astray here but didn't you mean to say "BELOW me" ddp?? You don't normally use that kinda language. :P
Rob the E8400 is a good one, don't worry about Intel they are GREAT!!!
I'm having serious issues not pushing the BUY button right now on a NEW GPU. lol. When are the "online" stores gonna "set" these things out for sale?? HD3600 series in particular.... :)

I've tried the combo of blue LED fans and green cold cathodes. It looks superb, but very bright. Green LED fans would be pretty slick but slightly less obtrusive.

what do you have against amd? lol
whats the difference between the processor i selected and the one you did, the specs appear the same.
what do you mean the 3870x2? i do plan on later on doing a corssfire thing with the graphics card i chose
artic cooling over a zalman, i always thought zalman was top of the line...umm and btw i am pretty much a complete noob when it comes to overclocking so i probly wont do it with my 1000 investment
i was also kind of set on 4 gb of ram (i wanted 8gb) since im gonna be running winblows vista and keep my current one for linux
