New hardware time bitches. Prepare to fork out some cash to buy yourself a new rig for Christmas.


 Mid/High End Build
Motherboard ASUS Rampage II Extreme
Processor (CPU) Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz
CPU Heatsink Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme
LGA 1366 Bracket Heatsink Bracket
CPU Thermal Paste Arctic Silver Ceramique
Ram G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3
Hard Drives Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB
Seagate 640GB
DVD/CD Drive SAMSUNG Black 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW SATA
Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 260
Power Supply (PSU) SILVERSTONE DA800 800W ATX
Case LIAN LI PC-7B plus II Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower

A lot of the things in this build are brand new and haven't been reviewed thoroughly yet, but this is what I would build if I were going to do it right now. All of this will probably run you about $2,000. You may have to hunt around for the LGA1366 Bracket until things cool down a bit...here is an alternate link for them.
