Yeah, I never liked the Vento to begin with, but do like a large case because they have better air flow. Besides, I don't go to LAN parties. I'm a homebody.
Well, here is the build I was thinking of...

My thinking is the following:
- I can always SLI later since I have the MB for it.
- The Core Duo CPUs from 6600 to the Extreme 6800 are pretty much identical construction. The difference is in cock speed, and I can always have it overclocked later if I want to, and its still a beast now.
- I went with the upgraded HD solely bacause it had double the cache of the 250gb.
Is there anything else I should be aware of?
Now Cyberpower and ibuypower both have almost the exact same price for each system, plus the same Hot Rush price ($109) and warrantee and customer support. So who has the better rep? Which name brand should I trust?
