Here are some pics of the build,
I'll also point out the cpu cooler isnt in this picture, nor the cathodes, this was taken before they were installed.



Notice the effort I put to keep the wires tidy...

thanks

I'll upload some more when I finish up with the cathodes.....
I took them out cause I didnt really plan where to put them, but

I bought, 2x 10cm UV blacklights,
and 2x Blue cold cathode 10cm

I'm thinking of sticking 1 blue one to the roof just next to the psu, and the other blue one on the bottom of the case,
The UV ones can basically go anywhere.

Don't worry about it.  If it's not good at stock, then it's not good.

Or return it.  You would be surprised what kind of things that they replace when you send in.  Like I dropped my ps2, and there was a little thing in the disc area that broke, and they fixed it for me lol

Its very fast, like very very fast.

I was thinking of building something even better.

Tell me if you think this is good.

Cpu: Intel i7-860 OC'ed to say 3.45ghz
HDD: 2x Solid State 32gb in RAID 0 (for windows and basic programs like firefox) 2x 1.5TB seagate In RAID 0
Video card: toss up between worlds fastest card the newest ati one or wait for a gtx 300 series
Same cpu fan
6GB Kit DDR3 2000 G.Skill-Trident
1000watt psu
A Nice clean case
Maybe, MAYBE a dual slot motherboard to support 2x Intel i7-860.
And more than likely either crossfire or sli.

What you guys think?
Super super fast or what?
