Last time I built a completely new machine was January Y2K. Then I did a major rebuild reusing that tower case in July 2004. I figure I'm about due.
A major part of my reading up on hardware has been right here in this forum. And so thanks, Skuzzy, and to all of you who post in here!

My plan is to water-cool the cpu, X58 north bridge, and video cards. And then clock the livin' snot outta this baby. Y'see, I *really* like tinkering with my toys.

case: NZXT Tempest EVO
mobo: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
psu: SeaSonic X750
cpu: Intel Core i7-930 2.8 GHz
ram: Corsair XMS3 (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600
vpu: 2 crossfire x XFX HD-577X-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770
disk: 2 JBOD x Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500 GB
sound: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme
os: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
The ICH10R south bridge and the MOSFETs will sport Enzotech solid-copper heatsinks. The water-cooling parts will come mostly from
Danger Den, like their MC-TDX for the CPU and MPC for the chipset. Two full-coverage EK blocks will keep the video cards cool, and an AC-powered Eheim aquarium pump will circulate the fluid.
Almost ready to place the order. Almost...
