I love them. I built 14 months ago a box for myself:Quote:

I love my Box and it chews through anything I can through at it
That sounds like an awesome box for $850. Did you go with anything special as far as cooling? I'm not into over-clocking so I have never bothered. With the proc you've got there, why bother? That proc on a Crossfire with 4 gig of ram will scream out of the box.Quote:

You must be a gamer.
How's that Asus Lightscribe burner? I had a Lite-On a while back but it died pretty quick and I never replaced it. Now I print my DVDs on one of my Epson's. A little clear coat finish over the DVD and the print will not smudge.
Good call on the WD hard drives. Over the years I've probably tried all the major vendors. Western Digital is by far my favorite. I have some HD enclosures that house a total of 8 drives. A couple are 40 gig drives I've had for years but still work great.
And yes, Newegg rocks. I have bought a lot of stuff from them over the years. The worst problem I ever had was once I bought 6 ink cartridges and they sent me 5. I had to wait a few days for them to figure out how they sent 5 instead of 6. You cannot beat how fast they ship either.
I used the heatsink it came with and made sure to channel air from the front intake to the rear exhaust right through the cpu sink.Quote:

WD drives are tanks. Just be sure to get a buffer at 16 MB or 32 if you can. Cuts down on seek time and make a huge difference in speed.Quote:

And they own up to their mistakes! I used to order from Tiger and stoped when I had to fight with them to take back a dead out of box MotherBoard I bought from them.Quote:
