Specs:

Mobo - Asus Maximus Formula SE
CPU - Intel Quad core QX9650
GPU - Evga 8800 GTX
HDDs - 2x WD 150 GB Raptors in RAID 0 and one more for storage. I'll probably end up putting them in RAID 5.
RAM - 4x GB Kingston HyperX DDR2 PC-8500 (1066MHz)
PSU - Thermaltake 1200 watt toughpower
Sound card - Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Sound Blaster
Optical drives - 2x Liteon DVD+RW + Lightscribe
Floppy drive - NEC external floppy drive

Misc - Zalman Reserator XT
Zalman GWB8800 GPU waterblock
Thermalkate icage
Arctic silver 5 thermal compound
7.1 Creative Gigaworks S750 THX certified speakers

All this on a Gateway 24" widescreen LCD, G15 and G5.

I am starting to build it right now, feel free to comment, flame, and be envious.

damn, you spent a good penny on that. I would have gone with the 22inch to save some cash though..

The only thing I can think of would have been to get the 8800GTS G92. But with evga's step up program, that shouldn't be too hard. Have fun building!

I had a 22" but since it was stolen and insured, I only had to pay $150 more for a 24" with better resolution. Some pics uploaded, I just saw that I didn't put the 8800 in there, but oh well.

Crack is better.

Nice system. Good thing about EVGA is you can step-up to the 9800 GX2 when it comes out and that mobo will leave you room for upgrading to the new 45nm CPUs coming. Nice choices!

Yeah, fitting it with the first 45nm chip right now will really help with the heat.
