You rich bastard! lol

Very nice setup. We do have battery backup here too.. but it lasts for 30 minutes minimum.

But you do have me beat on the RAM and the video card. I didn't want to pay $400 extra for the upgrade to the 256MB Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX. Since I'm use to Radeon 9250 or less I think the 256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) nVidia GeForce 6800 I got will be quite nice for now. I may add another gig of ram later if there is any signs it needs it.

I have:
athlon 64 X2 4400+, 1 gig dual channle ram (soon to be 2), liquid cooling, soundblaster live, and a 7800gt. Im thinking about overclocking my 7800GT, i guess the card is extremely oc friendly and can easily reach the performance level of a stock 7800GTX
heres a pic of my sweet case that contains it all
