    Oh man, I've been drooling over those Core i7s for sooo long! My core2duo just isn't cutting it anymore. And good choice with the Asus mobo. Too many people get top of the line stuff and plug it all into a crapperboard that won't allow them to overclock or anything. How many and what kind of monitors do you have? I only have 1 video card so I can only fit 2 monitors at the moment. They're both 19", so I'm trying to save up money for another videocard and a 22" widescreen to put between them. Multiple monitors makes multi-tabling a dream!

    Looks awesome but why so much RAM?
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    When I built mine in 2007, I put in 2gb and everyone I know made fun of me and said there was no way I would ever need that much. Now it's pitiful.. :/

    agreed. Did a ton of research this time around to make sure each part I was getting was going to work optimally with the mobo.

    currently 2x 30"inch samsung 305T's and a 20" samsung 2043BW in portrait mode. I usually only 10-12 table, so these 3 gets the job done nicely for me.
