m'Kay ive made a few changes, partly based on my own stuff and some on what cmonkey said. I original had the antec, but then the thermaltake looked cool, but ill stick with the antec on cmonkey's advice.
The thermaltake's always look cool, but everyone I know that has owned one complains about 1 big thing on them after a while. A friend who has the armor complains nonstop about the stupid doors...and how easily they get squeaky
The Nine Hundred is def. the best case out for the 680i chipset boards and their evil layout
Ive taken out hte ageia card until more games support it
Just as cmonkey said...it was just a first product on the scene for physics, and nVidia saw that they should be doin it too....
It was something to buy when it came out, but in a few months it'll be obsolete
I'm dumping the 0+1 idea and just going with raid 1 for backup, since im not running a file server :p
And that was probably the biggest mistake that I made. RAID 1 is alright if you love reformatting about every 6 months or so...
It's TTF is approx. 1 year, but random reboots and idiotic error messages make me want to slay it like a dragon. Next time I format the hdds (very very soon) then i'm gonna go for just plain ol crapload of discs
If money isn't an issue, go 0+1 or 5...

Take a look, see what you think. Once someone makes a CD/DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray drive ill get it so i can enjoy any media i want.
First off, the list doesn't work...atleast for me
LG will be the first one out with such a device...just keep a lookout for high priced items made by LG
As for cost, well, its near $6,000. Keep in mind that it will (if i get this job!!!) take me about 4 to 6 months before i have this kind of money, and by then much may change, including a wider selection of DX10 video cards.
Although I love building computers, I've learned that the money you put into it evaporates quicker than gasoline. I put about 2000$ into my midrange rig back when I built it, and a little over a year later, it's worth no more than 700$. Unless you plan on doing a complete upgrade every 6 months, then don't buy super high end. There are much better things to do with your money. A car, student debts, a house, etc etc....
In truth, my next computer will be more of an upgrade...
I'm basically give my computer to my parents with just the cd burner and no harddrives (they'll use a 40gig IDE i grabbed for free for em) and I'll run a RAID 1 with the OS on an 80gig sata drive. And the parts for my upgrade will be only near 500$, and they're nice enough for me....the nf-m2, 2gigs of that ram that I posted above, a 3800+, and a tv tuner
And I'll throw it all inside a case that I've been working on for a while now...cause empty cases are abundant at my house
