I should have it and the BFG 650 watt psu by monday. Fucking UPS has my package sitting in a warehouse only 30 miles away but the cock-knockers wont deliver till monday, even though it could be placed on a truck tomorrow morning. Theyre just sitting on it and I was hoping to get it before the weekend.

On another happy note, I decided to use the Intel Matrix raid on my new box. Migrated my stuff over onto a raid-0 array of two 300gig hd. Took about 3 hours to do. Afterwards I launch steam and it wouldnt go past the log in. All my games were gone! So, now I'm going to have to re-load cs:s and all the damn maps for gg..

Well, looks like UPS will deliver my stuff today after all, tracking shows on the truck for delivery!

The fun starts soon. This new pc has a smaller tower than I am used to using and a bunch of stuff is going to have to be modified to make the card fit. For one, a removable media drive bay will have to go along with the cage it lives in.

If anyone is looking to buy one of these boxes, the price is right, and would be hard to build for the same money ($1049.00 for the tower, no monitor)..Out of the box it plays Source flawless on all high settings at 1024x768 @ 100+ fps on most maps.

A cheaper one is available with integrated video, but still has all the goodies minus the raid and a couple other things I could of did without and wish I had got this one to start with at $849 even a better deal:

Just for comparison sake the stock card (red) and the 8800 ultra. Even the tv tuner card was mightier than the 7130...
