Just thought this was a pretty good deal that I end up with. This is what everything would cost today except for the deal I got on the Ram/Processor that was kind of a 1 time deal thing.
3800x2 @ 2.8ghz
1 GB Patriot LL ram
packaged together for $300
MSI K8n SLI Platinum
$104
2 WD1200JB SATA Drives In RAID 0 Array
$100
2 Hitachi 80 GB SATA Drives in the same RAID 0 Array
1 ATI Radeon X800 GTO2
$150
1 Antec Truepower 2.0 550W powersupply
$69
1 Sony DVD DL burner
$40
1 Raidmax Case
$60
Just thought this was a heck of a deal. I should get a different VC because for about $50 more I should be able to get a much better VC like the X1600 or X1800 but it is about a year old and I don't think its worth 200-220 for a new VC yet. Its a 40% overclock but it idles at 33C and Under an 1hr load runs at 42C so its pretty safe. Here's the stats:
