Good i7 builds there guys. A few things I would have changed personally just from experience of building my own last 7 personal gaming rigs, but we all have our preferences. Today at work I'm working on a massive desktop refresh for the firm. I have a $1.5 million dollar budget to work with for ~3000 PC's that I'm likely going to be dead over when I'm done all this spec planning, build and deployment, lol.

One note that if you live in Canada like me, please check out NCIX for parts. NCIX is proabably the best company I have ever dealt with in my life, and that's including stores I can walk into!!! They're absolutely superb! Heck, I've even RMA'd things that I didn't want or didn't perform to my liking and told them that exactly, and they've refunded my money! Maybe it's cause of all the money I've spent there in the last 12 years? lol Not to mention I know Linus quite well and he gives me lots of NCIX coupons and stuff.

If I need something NOW, I go to memoryexpress locally here in Calgary. They're great too, but don't compare to NCIX. I'm just not a fan of TigerDirect, but they would be my 3rd of 4th choice.


Anyone else out there big into hardware overclocking at all? I'd be interested in doing a project with someone on a liquid nitrogen build. I'd really love to break a world record overclock one of these days... $$ is the biggest hindrance for me though as you toss hardware like candy with that much voltage.
