Nice rig Evan.
I would be interested to know what it scores on 3dmark06. Have you benchmarked it yet?
I ask because I built a similar rig, and it benchmarked with the following...

That is a 4u case but it comes standard as a tower and rails sold seperately.


Nice case, but you have to be careful where you put it because its much deeper than a regular desktop case.


I have built many servers in that exact same case except it was the SCSI version.

Mortimer it's asking me to log-in to view your link. I'll put a pic and the rest of the specs up for my pc when it comes in the mail monday. I got one similar to Evans, same video card basically, except I have Dual Core 4400+ 64-Bit, but only 1GB of DDR400 memory.
