    That's the PSU I'm looking to get, it has great reviews by both the reliable buyers of newegg.com and extremetech.com

    enjoy!

    You wouldn't want to get me a comp with those specs to would ya?

    And 1 other thing, if you buy fans from newegg, check to see if it would be cheaper to buy 7 fans than the 5 you need. I bought 7 fans a few weeks ago because it only cost $18 for them on newegg, whereas 3 would have cost me $19 with shipping!

    Edit: I love these laughing guys!

    That would cost as much as buying 7 on newegg!

    Anyways I only have 2 left, I found room for 4 in my case, and I don't know what happened to the last one.

    Hey SVT, nVidia will be launching their G70 video cards this month. Just one of these is suppose to outperform a SLI 6800GT setup. Might want to look into one (or two if you really want to) of those.

    Only the 7800 GTX's will work in SLI, but those will cost around $600 each!

    True enough... But you can get a single 7800GTX for the price of the dual 6800 GT's and outperform them

    You got an awsome case there!

    Also sorry for not reading everything correctly last night, after about 10:00 I can't read because my eyes are so tired.(mostly because I'm on here for 5 hrs!)

    The fans might add up on noise, though.
    5 hours a day, and only 360 posts? I have 654, and have only been on for less than 4 months.

    Well, only 5 hours/day the last few days. I really wasn't on techimo much before this year, mostly because we just got the network setup in my house, and I hated using my dad's comp to go online!(It was so slow!)

    How slow? This is a dial-up @ 21.6 Kbps and an AMD K6-2.
