BUILD THE ULTIMATE OC'd/GAMING SYSTEM!!!

Lets have alittle fun guys.

Ive got $1500 so far saved up so I can build the ultimate OC'd gaming system. I am waiting for the Clawhammer cpu from AMD and the MB that matches to come out...question is...should I go RAID, or SCSI or SCSI/RAID??? Tell me what I should put into my case(Should I get another Lian Li?? Do I need it for the new AMD core?). Do I reach for a Seagate Cheetah Drive??? 60GB HDD or 100GB????

What would be the ultimate rig for you? Write down the specs, oh yeah, and monitor type and size. Thanks guys
Oh yeah.....Price is not an issue, so go for it....

Clawhammer is due out to the public 2nd or 3rd quarter this year.

Really no raid GZ??? What would you put together then??? Single HDD system??

Dokeman...never thought about that setup?? What type of SCSI controller would you suggest? And How much RAM(By whom)??
