Nice computer.  Kind of curious on why the Thermaltake case?  Putting that
much gear in a case and do not get a case that will hide most of your
wiring. If you guys like I will take pictures of my current Gaming Computer.

The armor fully weighted (2 drives, 2 opticals, board, 2 GTX, etc.) is
66lbs.  So, heavy so & so.  

It's not really that much of a dust magnet.  We sent one to NY a while back
that was a dead silent 8800GTX build; water cooled CPU; water cooled
SLI-8800GTX.  

Bad thing about it: had to be Vista 64, and right now, Nvidia's driver
support for Vista, and especially Vista 64 SUCKS.  Absolutely SUCKS.  

It's just one of those things.. in XP, he gets full SLI.  In Vista 64, Vista
only sees 1 card, and he gets way slower performance.  The 680i chipset, for
all of it's pros, has some issues still.  Asus came out with the P5N32-E
Plus, which is a hybrid chipset, the 650 northbridge and the AMD 590
southbridge.. so you get full x32 SLI, but it's so much more stable under
Vista 64 that it's sickening.  Nothing wrong under Vista 32 or XP with the
680i, but under Vista 64, the P5N32-E just slices and dices everything out
there.

I'm going to try to take a lot of pictures today and post links, get this
list back on hardware.  I checked the benches for what's being built and at
least I can get some good pics of an AMD Quad system, and a few other
oddballs I can get some pictures of to post and get some hardware discussion
going :)

FYI-

I am piling up in the backchannel and have now heard from 12 people who say
they can't post and keep getting bumped.  Jim, my email to you bounces..
things OK?
