what is your new build setup going to be? I've always seen the Microcenter sales, but am too far away from any of the stores... i wish we had some Fry's near us.

my new setup is on hold now.. that money is gong in in the engine bay

It was going to be i7 920, evega mobo, evga 896/412 card, 8gb DDR3, Velociraptors etc etc
I have an old intel 5200 server case with hot swap and all that good stuff, thing is a monster at 26" long & 19" high. Ill probably still mod the fak out of it in preparation.

Why waste money on Intel? AMD, you get a lot more bang for the buck. Benchmarks of their top-line quad-core Phenom IIs are nearly as fast as Intel's for a hell of a lot cheaper. Unless you are heavily and I mean heavily into CAD graphics and such, you don't need the Intel's little, minute extra speed/power.
