1. What would you like to see in the video of this rig?
2. What anti virus software should I download?
3. How do you recomend to keep this system fresh and working full time?
4. Do you want a cookie?
5. I ran out of useless questions...

I don't agree with all your choices but regardless, looks like its gonna kick some butt, enjoy and be-sure to tell us what your OC speed will be enjoy it.

What was the reason for 2 raptors at the same size? wouldn't a 160 for main drive and a 500 for second work for you? Just wondering.

Nick, HDD size was one non-agree lol.

as for the HDD, that makes sense, but don't you get tired of defrag and backups and etc talking longer on a bigger drive?

as for OC, its a extreme chip that starts at 3.2, I'm sure it will get great speeds, why do you think it won't?

4.2 would be great, good luck, hope you get a good chip so you can get 4.4

LOL you know thats what I'm waiting for

to be honest with you, I'm not too much into sli.

amazing rig man. amazing. Looks awesome. Can't wait to see your setup when its all done.
