I think it'd take longer than 6 months to outdate a machine worth that much. Maybe this guy's a millionaire so 4.5k is nothing to him, I'm sure I'll be spendin that much on a new machine when I win the lottery
I havent decided what to do. Im currently thinking of this set up. And when the machine becomes mid range invest in the top of the range prescott that is currently out.

Comments Appreciated.
if you aren't overclocking then there is no point in getting PC4000, because of it's looser timings it will be slower than good quality PC3200, like Mushkin PC3200 Level2, nor is there much point in going for watercooling, a Zalamn CNPS-7000Cu is more than adequate of cooling a 3.2C and doesn't produce much noise.
if your planning on a Hard Drive RAID array then you will require 2 hard drives that are the same, i'm not quite sure for your reasoning in having those two different models in there, if you want a high performance drive(s) for windows and applications, with slower larger drive(s) for storage then fair enough, but i don't quite see that you've done that. There's nothing technically wrong with that arrangement, i just don't see the logic behind it. If you really are looking to 'blow £4.5k', then SCSI drives like i put in my suggested spec will give you the best performance (you'll need a SCSI adapter, the motherboard i suggested has one integrated + has every other feature you could dream of on it), but they aren't cheap!
Aside from those comments it all looks good to me!
ill build you 2 excllent gaming rigs and i get to keep one ??
worth a try lol
I gotta agree there, even though i reccomended sata drives, scsi really is the way to go for top en speed and reliability, the ram is also a pretty bad choice imo, for the same reasons fondie just statedOriginally posted by fondie

populating the i875 motherboard with 4 sticks or ram increases performace over having just 2, not by much, but heh
insane i say... insane!
the reason ill say *no point* is that there is NOTHING your going to be doing that will actually USE that power!
for £2.5k you could make something that will, in everything other than benchmarks, handle everything flawlessly..
then spend the other £2k later on upgrades!
you should go watercooling just for style.... if your spending over £1.5k there is no reason NOT doing it
for games and ting an LCD is ok but a fast refresh (_+25ms) LCD projector is in order for that budget... i'd walk into richer sounds to get urself a phat tannoy or mission AMP and 6 point surround sound for movies etc... hope you have broadband already...
if you want you can buy a motorised setllite dish for your comp with a satellite card, that is what i'd do, to go with the projector

yeah get a Marantz A/V Receiver!!!
I have the 4200? 4100? 4300?? i forgot which hundred it is, but its da bomb and its the low spec marantz one too!!
still cost like £400 or summet tho!
but hey i was 17 when i bought it! and its owning my bedroom!
the computer in my sig cost under £2000 and is perfect. i could not wish for more power that would yet be "useable."
think about it, 2 xeons, 5900ultra, that bitch is going to be loud!
and besides which you all spent tooo much money on stuff which will halve in value in 6-12 months (cpu, gpu, hdd).
spend it on stuff that lasts. e.g. dual 18'' lcds (like the one in my sig) or a decent hifi unit.
thats what i do.
