Just an FYI on that Antec case: I love it. I blame our super-retardo cat jumping down on to the top of my case for the broken fan blade.

The one thing I really dislike about the Intel boards and CPU's is the locking mechanism. They're just posts that you shove down on to the board. And that's supposed to lock the heat sink in place. Well, I had a major problem with this as I am not He-Man, and had trouble getting these locks in.

If and when you get your parts and you do decide to go with Intel, you'll see what I'm talking about, unless they've changed the design on their heatsinks/mo'bos.

The one thing I've found about AMD though is that I can buy a cheaper Black Edition CPU and unlock the other cores that are there, just "shut off", and end up getting a higher end CPU for the price of a mid range.

Mozz really should explain that, he understands it better than I do and could provide examples.

I'm sure the spec's are impressive, but its a giant dust trap.... the cover is just pointless bling..

I guess ASUS had some extra plastic laying around.
