hahaha maybe its a currency thing. Surely he doesn't mean US dollars

thats a good idea. When I see how much room is left in the case I might look at that. I guess more airflow the better

with that gigabyte MOBO how many monitors would it run potentially with that many slots? With dual video cards would it theoretically run 14 monitors? (no idea why you would want that just curious)

If you had it to do over again would you go the same route ? Any regrets? That looks good to me

either BIY or there is a local guy I have been referred to who has built several computers for guys in my motorcycle club who does it for free because he enjoys the hobby.

Ok guys I'm just about ready to buy some stuff. I've decided on this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129065 Gonna do windows 7 64 bit os Gonna go with I7 by Intel processor and 6gb of ram. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a...

Boli That card you recommend above shows out of stock on newegg. Can you make another recommendation for video cards? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121360 I saw this, but is this the same? I am taking your advice and trying to stay with passive cooling...

Thanks Boli, Since you have used these before, what kind of case did you use? Any problems with cooling or problems with size/clearance ? Thanks

Ok guys its been a long process and I have gone back and forth with this. I have decided to go with 6 GB ram system, I7 system. Simple DVD drive, a 500 gb hard drive. Can anyone make a specific recommendation on mother board and video cards?

yeah no number crunching if the i5 works well maybe that's a way to save money. That's the main reason to avoid the off the shelf box route was to have the capability to use 2 dual cards rather than a quad card. which sounds better to me for reliability and expandability down the road.

no, I found a guy locally who said he would assemble the components for me for a nominal charge. I told him basically what I wanted to do and this is what he suggested. I will be buying all the parts from Newegg and he will assemble them for me. I can pick and choose anything I want which is...

my builder picked these components. Looks like he is picking components that are tooo expensive. AM i compromising my reliability by using less expensive components? thanks for feedback guys this site is soooo helpful

This is a list of components that my build guy suggested. Do you guys see any place I could save money or am I spending money for anything I don't need? I want to run 4 monitors at first with the ability to run 6 monitors later on. My biggest question is with the case. $229 seems steep for a...

excellent input from all. I need to speak with local builders this week and see what can be done for given $. I will keep everyone posted, computer shopping is like boat or house shopping, you think you know what you "need" and want nothing more. before you know it the budget has tripled for...
