Seconded.

That and some lottery for his old cards

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Seconded.

That and some lottery for his old cards

True, the sexy bastard that he is.

On a related note, what board are you going to get max? Oh and panzer, how do you rate yours? I was taking another look on OC, and I was thinking P6T, but the Evga X58 is only £20 moar.
