Will Do a step by step build for anyone that's looking to build their own Computer. Stay Tune!
How much did you cough up for that Radeon? I'm assuming around $500 US?
From what I've read it's not a huge step up from an Nvidia 7950, and with 8800 GTX's coming down in price all the time (can pick em up for under $650 now)I would have thought that may be a better option.

Actually Shifty, I just read a review that put the 2900xt against the 8800GTS and according to the reviewer,
"In all tests the HD 2900XT hammered the 8800GTS".
BTW, the 2900XT uses GDDR4 for it's 512 memory chips. The 2900XTX sports 1gig GDDR4.

hd2900xt is $400

Yep, agree with you there, but that's the GTS not the GTX. Big difference in both price & performance there
Alittle up date on what done, Everything here but the Video card. I know im a stud muffin!!
sweet! thats quite the cpu fan and the case kicks ass!
Better not stick your finger in there when it is running... do you use a boat anchor to keep it from taking off?? 
Or u could use a ceiling fan attached to a Briggs and Stratton Lawnmower!

So close to 12k!!
12K?? Is that the best you can do?? Heck, my old TRS-80 can probably do that.
We need to see at least 20K from that beast and a video of the smoke rolling out just before the benchmark finishes.
