Budget was 3k, came in right at $2936.
 
Only thing not showing up in the config is the custom case.
I called and Sarah got me setup with a Lian Li-x900.  I took a good 3 weeks
making up my mind on case choice.  I wanted something a bit unique with dimensions that would fit on a desktop neatly.  This system should handle any thing gaming related for the next few years with ease.   If you look at the case I wanted to change up the fans to go with a green/toxic glow theme.  I also looked for a case that had front/bottom filters to help keep the interior clean.  Also the case doesn't have the traditional HDD bay placement.  There on top in there own cooling zone along with the front drive bays. Anyways hope this gives some of you a little something diffrent to consider in your builds.  Thanks for the help Sarah, I'm looking forward to seeing this completed and putting it to some great gaming come 2011.

Made it to Stage 6 today, very quickly I must say I expected it would take longer with the Custom case.  Plus todays my Birthday so that was a bonus.  It will be interesting to see if it makes it to my side of the pond before Turkey Day.  Anyways looking forward to seeing this build in person and putting up a Video on youtube of the case/build.

Man, you really don't know how agonizing the wait is until you actually order! Mine shipped out the other day, expected to come in the middle of the week and I'm constantly checking the tracking on it ><
