You may have met your match on this one, Oh, "Price King in the Hardware Area." Making a deal with the guy who has a firm grip on the testicles of the world, may be just out of your reach.
I agree, I have an OEM version and I'm also new to Windows 7 (from XP) so far I've found the answers to...
Make no mistake LeapUP, that is one intense MB you have there, money WELL spent on the chip and board, IMO. Trading, 2D charting as many have said doesn't take much of a cpu or graphics card, but I believe a trader can find the limits of many processors by using realtime tick and volume data...
Sam, you have quite a variety here.
You may want to think ahead a bit and ask yourself what hardware you might want to add in the future, e.g.card reader or a USB 3.0 Front Panel Hub. The Antec Three Hundred has ONLY (3) 5.25" external bays,and (NO) 3.5" external bays available. But it does...
You can't go wrong with a WD drive, IMO.

This is another great purchase. You know Sam, SOME guys (the patient ones :D ) spend several weeks/months accumulating the parts for a well thought out build and in the end have all...
I can't think of anything more demoralizing,,, well maybe holding a losing trade a little (or a lot) to long. To put it bluntly, sh*t happens, send it back and let THEM work their magic, all you have to do is wait a little longer. :)
I think of a case as a container to hold all the parts, that's about it. Here's a guide:

Unless your after something special, super quiet, air filters, see through panels or flashing LEDs you can save a lot of...
Have you looked at the case LeapUP ordered (I think) very nice, air filters, and options for six fans but only comes with one. One issue (maybe) is the Power Supply is mounted on the bottom. Fans are cheap, a 4 pack of 120mm (pretty quiet) fans are 10 bucks on Newegg.

You better be careful there Sam, I know Boli likes to travel and if he can pick up $150.00 installing a couple cards for LeapUP he might just show up on your doorstep!
Absolutely, thanks fellas, as I said, "I'm not Intel savvy" and little did I know the Z68 was the latest and greatest chipset out of Intel. I think the key word is OPTIONAL, if you don't want the Onboard Video, shop around and find just what your looking for.
This Motherboard was posted as a 3 PCI-E 16 slot contender for Sam's build, however it didn't receive as much as an honorable mention, why?
I'm not Intel savvy, but I do notice one thing that I don't understand. On the Newegg site under the Details and Overview tabs, the information on...
Well guess what ? Yesterday I was impatient.
My little home network failed yesterday and I spent the last 24 hours chasing my tail trying to get things working again (don't ask). The major most stressful issue was dealing with my 3 1/2 yr old grand daughter, trying to explain to her every 5...
I just couldn't help myself :D

I agree, Sorry Sam I've had a long day.
Fat cards, single slots, volts, amps, watts, HDMI, HD, DVI, VGA, PGA, CIA, KGB and NAACP I was a bit discombobulated.
For $20 bucks I'd buy 4 and hope the forth one died a slow death on a shelf somewhere :D
That video is a dual slot card, not for you.
You ordered four monitors right? Two of these will light them up.
