Finally took the first step in getting my new computer...ordered Windows Vista Home premium for 204 and getting 50 dollars credited to my account as a bonus offer from amazon.com today.

Then once the 3ghz processor is back in stock...I'll be ordering this entire set from Newegg.com

I also decided to go with the 8800GT (G92) which is better than the older 8800GTX...and even on par with marginal difference than the 8800GTS (G92). Saved me about an extra hundred bucks. It pays to research...and listen to Billy. Haha.

Wired: Apparently when Miyamoto 1st went to Retro Studios, they were making a car combat game, he said, "Why would you make that? Why would you put a gun on a car?" And they stopped development on the game. So maybe you should answer that question. Why would you put a gun on a car?
Jaffe: You know, honestly, I've been too busy recently trying to figure out why the fuck go-karts shoot banana peels.

This will serve as my new graphic design workhorse, video editing, and of course...my return to RTS pro gaming. I have big plans for StarCraft 2. Of course I am joking about going back into pro gaming...because being a family man and military = no life for games. Wishful thinking though.

Anywho...I really look forward to this computer!

Nice rig... except i'd look into the 2.4 gig Core2duo instead of the Wolfdale.

But 3.0 is > than 2.4, why get the lower mhz you say? Simple. OC ability. If you read up on the 2.4 gig Core 2 Duo conroe, it's overclock ability is INSANE. Right out of the box you can OC the 2.4 to 3.2 without a sweat. I'd read up on it, could save you money, not to mention the Conroe is a better core.

Everything else looks pretty nice though man. Enjoy!

yea, i looked into it...and several friends even recommended that. however, anything that lowers heat and power and increases cpu = thumbs up for me...

also, this was an interesting read.
