    Hi,

    I bought a Dell 730x about a year ago
    i7 965 extreme factory overclocked watercooled
    6 Gigs Tri Channel Memory (Probably Dells own brand)
    Dual Nvidia GTX 280 1 Gig Graphics Cards
    Dual 32 Gig Intel X-25E SSDs (SLC Memory) in Raid 0 (use this for OS etc)
    1 TeraByte Samsung HD for the other stuff.

    Its a nice machine looks well with loads of flashy lights inside and outside it and it boots up windows 7 pretty quick and plays counterstrike good lol.

    Just wondering is there any point in selling it to build a machine with the sata 6GB/s and USB 3.0 to take advantage of those newer techs?
