I would love to see some pix of the machine in action...you know some MB, VGA, RAM, HDD, HSF, PSU and cable management action as it came from the factory. Model numbers shall be revealed...or is it a secret?

Hope the machine is running as spec'd...

It's running as spec'd. Didn't have much time to play with it last night. I'm on flex week all this week so I have to work 10 hours days plus an hour commute back and forth then hit up the gym. Plus the All Star game was on last night.

I have Friday off, so that will be one of my play days. I'm hoping to replace the hard drive on Friday and get a fresh install going. I cna't wait to see the difference in HD-Tune between the 500 GB hard drive and my SSD.

This computer has been off for the past week. I'm waiting for my power cables to come in, so I can sweeze 5 hard drives in it and setup my RAID. Newegg expects my cables to come in Friday.

Setting up RAID is extremely difficult. For some reason I cannot hold my drives in RAID and boot from my OCZ drive. Still working on this.

The connections to the motherboard are also very confusing, there are two RAID controllers built in.

Well i've given up on RAID. Its not working, computer keeps restarting/blue screening as its about to enter Vista. I never realize how hard it would be to get stable. Anyone else have this problem? I've documented the steps I used by taking screen shots of the bios screen. I'll try to post them this week.
