I will post the final costs, all the pieces listed that went into the machine,
And approximate hours to purchase all items and to build the machine by weeks end.
That wil be some good info for anyone interested in a DYI build.
More...

Of course what I'm about to say is "apples and oranges" in comparison...

But I just this week bought a Dell T3500 from their Outlet site...

Xeon W3530 CPU, X58 mobo
3G RAM
Win 7 Pro
2 x 250GB HDD in RAID 1
2, ATI V3750 video cards (nicer than I'd previously thought)
2, Broadcom 1 GB LAN cards (why even ONE, I ask.. but got 2)

For $629 + tax.

It's quiet, fast, and best of all... low cost.

:D
 
Installed the OS ... Windows 7 Pro 64 bit OEM system builder.

This is an awesome board. Like it a lot. The smart response is nice feature. ssd combined with hdd is a great feature.
 
Running the machine for a couple hours now.

Can take a look at the temps here for the CPU.

Looks like the Hyper 212+ is operating just as the good feedback here said it would do.

Thanks so much for the information regarding the cooler.
