Nice, I'd probably go for an upgrade on that GFX card though.

Never seen that case before, very interesting!  Reminds me a bit of these beasts:

HOLY CRAP that thing must be about 2 grand at least!

Sounds pretty freeking awesome.  However, I have two suggestions.  I know that dual channel ram, at least on AMD platforms, only works when you have 2 sticks of ram.  If you increase it to 4 sticks, you lose the performance boost.  So, it might be a better idea to go with  2 x 512 instead of 4 x 256.  Also, with the current optical drive setup, you will not be able to copy DVD's on the fly.  So, unless you plan on burning 2 things at once, you may want to consider getting just a plain DVD-ROM with the DVD±RW.  

Even so, that beast will be blazingly fast.  

Are you building this yourself?

That was actually one of the cases I was considering but then I saw the viper, the other one I was considering was an alien wares case but I don't want to order that from alien wares and wait for it to come too.

I'll probably go with changing the ram to 2x 512.  I would go with a DVD ROM but I used up my budget with what I have on there right now, and I would build it myself but their aren't any good computer stores around here so the site is building it for me.

I think it's actually about $1560.00 including shipping and handling but I'll have to check to be sure.
