Just something to do with my spare time, and to help the "configers" onboard and others who may have been waiting on certain items/price changes. Starting with the base i7 build, i have noticed the following:

. -$50 on the discount per price range
. HAF 922 included, picture with funky blue lighting (looks neat)
. Price on the 1050si dropped to +$115 (good news for those who like it)
. +$30 to 6gb 1333mhz mushkin RAM (+97 to +127, only $9 less than 6gb 1600 mhz mushkin. New/better model probably)
. New clearance video cards. ATI card prices still way high ($510 for dual 4870 512mb? REALLY?)
. No new coolers added (was hoping the TRUE would sneak in someday)
. more psu/hdd options (i believe, not sure which ones... anyone care to chime in?)

Alright, that's what I caught. I doubt that's the "end" of the updates, but there you are. I'm sure others can find more differences, so let's have 'em :)

Yes, I figured as much and am going to be adding to it as the week goes by, since Alex seemed to indicate that there was going to be a big update to it.

For people who have old configs/prices saved, figured they may appreciate someone pointing this sort of stuff out, especially something like the discount :)

I'm thinking it's that liquid cooling system alex hinted at oh so long ago.
 
Either that or the video card OC'ing department got bored since we aren't recommending their business and are coming out with their own rebuilt nvidia based OC'd graphics cards.

it sounds... so cool... "HAILSTORM." whatever it is, I want it.

Also, those blue-black HAFs on the twitter page look really sweet.
