I used both places because on some things NE had rebates and the shipping was cheaper at ZZF....

I still need:

Monitor (would like something around 24" )
I need whatever it takes to share a DSL connection between (2) computers - either hardwired or wireless. Any suggestions in this are are welcome - I'm new to the networking side of things.

Thanks again.

That old g80 8800gts is weak. You should get a g92 8800gts. The factory overclocked version cost only $230, $200 after mail-in rebate. Check benchmarks, the performance difference between the 2 is quite big. Well worth the price, especially considering you're dumping $500 on a huge monitor.

For ram, this is a good one at 1066mhz, only slightly overclockable
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231166
800mhz, highly overclockable, go up to 1066mhz easily

Case: Coolermaster is o.k., but the P182 is superb. I added a fourth fan blowing on 2 HD's, which everyone says is unneccessary. Gigabyte P35 is great. Check specs for eSata. Mine came with an eSata PCI card to add 2 external lines for other HD's, DVD's, etc. Port also has an external power connector. The following is great ram, uses Micron D9 I believe and is CAS 4:

Xigmateck is one of the best for the price. I bought one, but had trouble with the plastic push pin mounts to the mobo. I then found out they had a bolt-thru kit with back plate, which is totally secure. See if you can get that sent with it. And do check prices available. I got stuff a few things at Excalibur.com. Buy.com, tigerdirect. zipzoom, etc also have good prices.

Thanks again guys. What about the Antec 900?

One more question - which mobo should I go with:
GA-P35-DS3L
OR
GA-EP35C-DS3R

And why?

Thanks,

MasterJack

On the P182 case - which I really like - do you recommend I add additional fans and if so - what size?

i just bought the p182, but i havent recieved it yet.
i bought an extra 120mm fan i am going to put on the front panel in order to improve intake. i dont know if its necessary or not, but it supposedly improves the air flow and temperatures. its just 10$ so i figured why not.

Please look over my final list... thanks guys.

I am building one too....

How about the Lian Li PC-60BPLUS II? I just got one and think it is awesome - all aluminum, very light, no fancy windows or lights (I don't like them but you may), real clean design - everything slides out and in real smooth and easy - real easy to set up mobo, cards, etc. out side the case and then slide it back in. Comes with 3 x 120mm and 1 x 80 mm fan - lots of cooling, very quiet.

I got the ZeroTherm BTF 90 - wanted quiet as much as cool. Almost got the Xigmatek.

I was going to get the 8800GT as well but took suggestions here to get a 8800GTS since my prime needs are for video editing, graphics and some light gaming.

Thanks all. One last thing - I've been reading a lot about the 7200.11 drives and also the Samsung F1 - which one is better?

Samsung F1 is based on 7200.11 technology, it is the fastest mainly due to platter size, cache size, firmware optimizations,etc.

My final list (first post) and a few questions... thanks again.

As for as the P35 it overclocks very well i have 3 and unless your trying to get past 500Mhz FSB then no need for a X38 just to OC.
