Looks good! You will have to let me know what you think of the speakers when you get them as my other ones crapped out. Right now my sound is driven my an ancient Akai two channel amp going to a set of Aiwa floor speakers at about 80W per channel.

I assume you are just tossing in your old vid card and hard drive(s)?

you do realize that it only has one pcie connector and if you want to run express you would need a power supply capable of running two right? I know most people dont run two cards, but if you want to shotgun them together or add a second vid card for another monitor its one of those things to look out for.

I know this one is a little bit more spendy, but then again you get what you pay for:

Guess I didnt see it had two so you will be OK there. I went to the OEM site and they didnt even have that power supply listed yet so I just went with the picture off newegg.

That 8800 is suppose to be one bad *** card, capable of dx10 will be the nice thing. I feel bad for all the people who spent all the money in the last few months on the 7900 and 7800's who wont be dx10 compatible now.
