    New system finally

    I just ordered most of my components at least the basics for my new home system.... Arrrr!!

    COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

    CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS

    ASUS P6T LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

    Western Digital Caviar SE WD3200AAJS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard DriveG.

    GSKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel

    LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH22NS30

    Sony Optiarc Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model DDU1675S

    SAPPHIRE 100269SR Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP
    Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card

    Scythe MUGEN-2 SCMG-2000 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler

    The processor will be a i7 920 Nehalem on which I'm waiting for teh "Evil Empire" employee discount program to resume in a couple weeks.

    I'll add more drives later and am tempted to get a solid state 80Gb HD for the operating system. I'll probably start out with Vista 64 bit for now.

    I guess you don't qualify for the retailedge bundle, offered by intel.. maybe you should see if you could still get it, they have an i7 920, X58 based motherboard and vista ultimate, with upgrade to windows 7 for US$289. Until December, I could get it via my brother but not now when the deal is actually good

      Wow!! I didn't see that and had a hard time finding the EPP site with mainly processors listed.

      I wanted the ASUS board anyway because they are more generous with cables and extras than Intel is with their boards.

          I just installed the Win7 RC1 the other day. Everything just sort of... works. Its awesome.

          Get lots of pics of that HAF; my brother is considering it for his next case. Other CoolerMaster cases I have worked with have only been mediocre in the quality department (sharp edges, some cheap plastic, etc). However I have heard good things about the HAF.

                  That's good to know because I got a big package from Newegg today so I now have everything except the Processor and the OS.

                  So, go for WIN 7 right away.....

                  BTW... The 4890 Radeon is friggn huge!!! So, is the Scythe MUGEN heatsink..

                  I'm so happy I got the full tower case now....

                        Most definitely 64bit or would waste the quad core and 7GB of system and video memory.
                        I'm just a bit apprehensive about leaving XP behind after all these years....

                        Also, what version of IE works with WIN 7???
                        I also hear that Outlook has been replaced....

                          IE8 comes with Win7.
                          DirectX 11 too.

                          I agree, Win7 is great OS.

                              Welcome to the i7 Club! Make sure you end up with the new D0 stepping i7 920. More likely to hit 4Ghz.
