Just one thing.

1. You could have saved a few dollars by buying the EVGA 680i Motherboard and 8800GTS card separate. Through the boxing day special, the Motherboard is on for $279/259 *with a $20 mir* and the GPU $499/454 *with a $45mir*, unless you also get a MIR with the bundle as well.

Shame that the boxing day sale wasn't too great.. although I did snag one of those 500GB hdd's for $100 and 7950GT's for $200. Be sure you enter to the sweepstakes. Although if you win, I will have to hunt you down. Let me know what you think of the Case. While I have my eye set on the Antec P180/Ninehundred, I wouldn't mind hearing some feedback on the thermaltake.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, you get both MIRs with the bundle aswell.

I thought the sale was pretty awesome. I was going to get one of those 500GB harddrives aswell, but they all (500 of them) sold out in about 10 minutes.

Post here -> PC Gaming Rigs <- when you build it, and also post here while you are building it if you need anything.

And damn, that's a sweet system!!

I was speaking idiomatically.

They had only 50 available at the $100 price point , which sold out in less than 3 minutes *shame it was only 1 per, as i would have gotten one for my brother. Only fair though*. They later had 150 available for $149, and then later another 150 available at $159 *still a descent price*.

I picked up the 7950GT to hold me over until summer, as for $200 it is hard to beat. I just bought some system parts to put together a new computer that looks similar to yours. Just be sure to get the BIOS update for the motherboard when you can.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hmm, I thought that they were all going for $99. Oh well, that is still an insane deal.
I guess the best way to flash the Motherboard bios would be to do so via floppy, right?

I believe that the 680i update must be done through floppy... Check here -> http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/articl...50aHVzaWFzdA==
