Well, this ought to hurt my Visa Bill for February, but I managed to squeeze in a kick ass system for $50 shy of $2000. (which is much better than my $3500 build 3 years ago that cant do ANYTHING anymore.....)
What I got:
Asus Maximus Formula
Wolfdale E8400
Thermalright 120 w/ Scythe fans
150gb WD Raptor
4gb (4x1gb) Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 4-4-4-12
Corsair 620W HX Modular
EVGA 8800GTS Crysis Edition 512MB (G92)
Antec P182 Case
Woohoo! I would have gotten the E8500, but it wasn't available for another 1-2 weeks, screw that!
I will post up pics and benchies when it's all put together and OC'd!
Nice system you've got there! I got the P5E a few months ago and under the white P5E sticker it clearly says, "Maximus Formula". Asus used the same PCB board for both but the Maximus has much better everything else. Please let us know how you overclocking go's. Good luck!
