I love NewEgg . . .

And EVGA . . . 1366 2.66 i7 . . .

SSDs are so sweet, 4x40GB from onboard RAID 0+1 . . .

The loudest thing in the Antec 300 case is the DVD drive . . .

What's the graphics card?

That machine must be incredibly fast - especially at boot-up, what's it going to be used for? I use an Antec 1200 - they make very nice cases indeed. The fans are a bit noisy at full power, but at low, they're virtually silent.

crappy evga 9800 GT, only $98 . . . drags the Windows Experience score down to 6.8 while proc and disk subsystem are scoring 7.9 . . .

Not used for anything really, web, email, pictures, large format scanner . . .

Dell could not build the system he ordered for 5 weeks so I said I could build him a screamer for $1000 less . . . he bit . . .

From logged in > Restart > login screen = 30 seconds . . .

pretty sweet for $1500 . . .

My drives are the limiting factor at 5.9. With a bit more OCing I have no doubt ram and processor in my machine will be at 7.9 too (currently 7.6 proc, 7.8 ram for an i7, 6gb ddr3 1600mhz, processor at 3.7ghz. I was surprised it wasn't 7.9). Oddly enough my 4890 gets exactly 6.0. I might reinstall and put the latest drivers on, my machine hasn't been cleaned in ages.

and I also like my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3, no manual mode but it takes pretty good pics . . . and 720p video . . .
