    Eh I ended up going to corsair, figured that'd be easier less questions asked with their 5 year warranty.

    How much did that Cooler Master cost you anyway? My Cosmos 1000 nearly hit &250 after the shipping and taxes.

    159.99 I think the shipping was free, but since I order like 8 things at once I don't really remember the break down of what added what to the shipping price.

    EDIT: HAHA just looked at newegg it's currently being sold for 119.99, gotta love it.

    What did the whole rig run you in the end?

    For just parts not counting any shipping or warranties it'll be $1700 after mail in rebates. With the other junk about $1950. Cost me about 500-600 extra i'd guess just to be able to use the i7 processors.

    Oh well the cost of being on the bleeding edge.

    Eh, sounds like a good deal.

    The rig I built this summer was a little behind the times and it still ran me $1700 CAN for everything (including monitor, peripherals, OS, and shit.)

    Is it wrong that when I first read the title I thought it said New PC with BIG tits...

    Anyway nice looking rig (tits or no...), though it is a nice chunk of change to put into a computer. Hopefully it will be future proof for a couple of years...
