Tentative build for my next computer named "Owl Farm"
15 years ago
What are all you whipper snappers doing here...?
Dubbed the "Owl Farm" I won't be able to buy it for six month, so prices will likely drop and parts get changed by then.

A rundown:
Intel Core i7 930 2.8GHz quad-core hyperthreaded
12GB G-Skill Ripjaw DDR3 PC1333
2 x Asus GeForce 470 with 1280MB GDDR5
Asus P6X58D Premium Mobo with USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0 GB/s
2 x 2TB Western Digital SATA 3.0 GB/s
Antec Nine Hundred Case with four fans(!)
Antec 1200 watt, three-way SLI certified (for GeForce 480) modular power supply
Asus 8x BD-ROM/DVD-RW SATA
Asus 24x DVD-RW SATA
I will probably install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on one drive and either use the other for back-up or throw Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on it.
The reason for all the Asus parts are threefold. One, I've have good luck with them in the past and my tendency is to push it as far as I can. Two, by making as many logical components as possible be the same brand I'm hoping to ensure excellent out of the box compatibility. And three, there's a big Asus facility down the road from me in my hometown and I support the local economy.
