Alrighty, got all the parts, and almost done! Here are some teasers.....

The RAM is Gskill 4GB kit of 1000MHZ, the same stuff I am using now. Case is going into my Silverstone TJ09 with a MCR220 up top for CPU cooling....

Had a little snag on that asus Xonar though... the power connector fell off when I went to install it....so RMA, should have the replacement tomorrow. I am currently installing the OS, I did the loop and bleeded it/leak tested it tuesday night.

Edit! Updated!!!! I only wish this case had more room to hide cables, but I think I did ok!

Why did you get the Xeon E3110 over the E8400? Isn't the E8400 cheaper than the Xeon E3110?

Sure is but the 3110 clocks a bit better and is cooler from what i understand .
I hear you get a better oc with a lower voltage= less heat :)

the 4870 nice! have they fixed the driver issues yet? I'm not sure whether to get one or not.. or get a 4870x2 when it comes out.. but ATI has always had problems writing drivers

A Xeon ALWAYS has more processing power than a standard CPU. No matter what they say. There are a few differances. Unless, f you really wanna smoke some cycles, BUY a Power 6:xD
Sweet system, but, I wouldnt be able to tell cept for the ATI:P
