I just bought mine, though I did compromise to keep the price a bit lower... and the difference in performance can't be detected by the 'naked eye". Let me tell you, getting your dream system is everything you imagine it to be. You just sit there staring at it and going "wow, this is amazing." Even if you don't spec it to the ultimate max... it still blows everything away, and will for 5-8 years. Which just brings a smile to my face. =D

(Some of my specs are on my profile page, I keep forgetting to add some things.)

I'd love a quad-core laptop with a decent graphics card :)

Take care.

Same here, but forget about the battery.

Through my work, i'm looking at revamping my beast.

Going for the Core i7 920 (thought about the extreme, but decided another laptop for the extra moneys saved...)
Asus Rampage II Extreme Intel X58
OCZ 6GB PC3-16000 (3x2GB) Blade Series Low Voltage Triple channel DDR3 (2000MHz!!!)
Some cooler, still debating.
Coolermaster Stacker 830 Evo - nVidia special edition
WD 2TB HDD

All going with....
My Blu Ray Drive
My 2x BFG 8800GTX OC2 (Next upgrade, GeForce 295 or going for ATI)
Enermax galaxy 850w
2x 500GB Samsung Spinpoints
WD Raptor 140GB

Samsung T260HD 25.5" Monitor (1900x1200)
Samsung something-CW 22" Monitor (1600x1440)
Razor Keyboard
Logitech G9 Mouse

i think that'll be nice.... but not as nice as the monster setup i'm building for a mate in a month or 2. So far we're looking a nearing £10K for his build... still waiting on some mew techs to pop up. Quad SLI (GF295), Custom CoolerMaster stacker case (taking a saw, drill and spray paint to it), 12GB (so far) of the ram i'm getting, i7 extreme, 6TB HDD and 12TB in network back up, his 52" Sony HDTV and 3 Dell 24" ultrasharps. Full water cooling.

Building into a custom desk as part of the desk near his wall mounted HDTV. He was Triple/Quad SLI as well to run more than 4 monitors if needed as he's planning to some nuts stuff to expand after....

Thats going for magazine/competition build. A mate of ours is really good at OCing which will play its part as well. If it goes though (theres another idea going through the pipelines as well) i'll let you guys know.

Either way, mine order is getting placed this week so looking forward to that. May be turning my Antec 900 into something more unique as practice before we go ahead and destroy a coolermaster stacker (or ThermalTake Armour, not sure yet).
