    Depends what it's for
    Would be a rotten SQL/Web server.
    Might be good for Games, I'm not up to speed on Gamer Graphics cards, other than that a Nvidia 8800GT sounds good value for lunatic gamers.

    If I had to nitpick I'd say 1066mhz ram is unnecessary. But money doesn't seem to be much of an issue. And the brown pcb on the mobo is ugly as hell, and you'll see it through the case. :D

    Nice build though. I can only dream of ever possessing the money to build something that nice straight off. :(

    edit: just notice you said you've already got the ram.

    anti, havok, ive already got the ram and cpu.
    got the cpu fairly cheap so its not a problem. still lots of overclock potential :)

    ram was picked up fairly cheap aswel, and its great for the money i paid for it.

    yeah was thinking the pcb was ugly, but i cant find a board that rivals the specs of it.
    other than the fatality f-I90hd.

    which has red pcb, and pretty great features.
    but it doesnt support the ram ive bought.... :(

    also having problems finding the lcd screen now :(
    x-case are sold out and wont have them until the 12th of december. argh!

    ill take a look now.

    i think im gonna forget the lanbox and the 7" screen. seems like a waste of money.

    im going with this instead.

    more space for a better cooler.
    really cant go with a cheap one and the lanbox doesnt have a lot of room for it.

    also love the look of the rogue.
