I am upgrading to the following: Core i7 @ 4ghz (changing because I'll have better cooling) 6GB DDR3 1600 2x ATI Radeon 5970s in Quadfire (4 GPUs) 2x OCZ Vertex SSDs in RAID 0 Silverstone Strider Plus 1000 watt PSU. MagiCool 4x 120mm Radiator And Koolance blocks on everything. All in a case 14"x10"x8". Mandatory pics: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER! Itty bitty little space. |

Question. Why wouldn't you get a full tower if you're already spending that much money? Cooling would be waaay easier to manage. And space. That would also be easier to manage. |

Because I didn't like my full tower. This is being build specifically for LAN, and it's also a contest between me and a fellow geek. So far I'm destroying him. |

why are you going with a radeon 5000 series when the new GTX 480 or whatever nvidia is calling it is right around the corner? |

Well... thanks to newegg shipping so fast I couldn't cancel my order (~5 mins for me to realize my mistake, 25 for them to respond, at which point they said it was too late), I'm about to get 2x GTX 470s. Luckily they're EVGA, so I'll submit them for step-up immediately. |

Hehehe... I'm just getting warmed up. 12 thread processor anyone? i7 980- $1100. Maybe later, I'm reeling from the $800 I just spent on 470s, and the $200 I'll have to spend to get them to 480s. |
