 | CoolerMaster RC-830 CM Stacker 830 SE ATX/Micro ATX/ExtendATX Full Tower Case (Silver)
Certified Nvidia SLI case. One of the largest out there, and up to nine fans! If you want dual-SLI 8800's, THIS is case that can fit it.

 | EVGA nForce 590 SLI AM2 - Motherboard - ATX - nForce 590 SLI - Socket AM2 - UDMA133, Serial ATA-300 (RAID) - 2 x Gigabit Ethernet - FireWire 800 - HD Audio (8-channel)
One of the most reliable motherboards out there. I could've chose Asus like most people, but EVGA makes better products for cheaper prices.

 | Thermaltake W0117RU ToughPower 750W Black PFC Power Supply with Active PFC Dual Fan
Buy new: $171.83 The newest addition to the line of Thermaltake PSU's. Also SLI certified.
|
 | AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 Windsor 2.8GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Dual Core Processor, ADAFX62CSBOX
Currently AMD's answer to all the new Intel Core 2 duo's, it's the fastest the company has to offer, and very overclock-friendly... not that you'd really need to overclock with 2.8 ghz...
|
 | OCZ Enhanced Latency Platinum Edition Revision 2 - Memory - 1 GB ( 2 x 512 MB ) - DIMM 184-pin - DDR - 400 MHz / PC3200 - CL2 - 2.75 V - unbuffered
Well, Amazon is lame, and doesn't have the 2GB version, but it's one of OCZ's best products... (and yes, if you have a dual-core processor, you WILL pretty much be required to have 2GB.
|
 | Western Digital WD1500AHFDRTL Raptor X 150GB SATA/150 Hard Drive
Yes, these puppies are the fastest hard drives on the market, and there IS a significant difference in performance between these and a regular 7200 RPM drive. Buy two of these and a backup drive, and you'll have some nice real estate.
|
 | Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 - Hard drive - 320 GB - internal - 3.5" - SATA-300 - 7200 rpm - buffer: 16 MB
Buy new: $132.99 / Used from: $59.99 Obviously, just a back-up drive. Nothing special here with the exception of the fact that Seagate make some of the quietest hard drives on the market.
|
 | Hewlett-Packard 30-Inch Lcd Monitor (EZ320A8#ABA)
Buy new: $1,353.58 If you want to take FULL advantage of the fact that you have/own the strongest video cards on the planet, you WILL need an amazing LCD monitor. This is simply the best choice IMO. It's pricey, but just look at it... 30 inches, LCD... Need I say more?
|
 | Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (931376-0403)
Buy new: $54.97 / Used from: $30.00 I personally choose the G5 over the G7 because: I don't trust wireless technology, and also because I read countless reviews bashing on the G7's battery life.
|
 | Zalman ZM-F3 120mm Quiet Case Fan with Silicon Pins
Buy new: $10.94 The above mentioned case only comes with 2 of the nine fans it can fit. I'd buy two more case fans (Zalman preferably, since they're known for their quiet fans) for it, just to make sure things are running cool.
|
 | Zalman CNPS9700LED Ultra Quiet Cpu Cooler
Buy new: $54.24 I've heard this thing in action in many gaming PC's, and NO other heatsink rivals this thing in effectiveness and quietness.
|
 | Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System (Black)
Buy used from: $99.95 THX certified, one of the best manufacturers of PC speakers... yeap. This 2.1 setup is a keep for sure.
|
 | Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard
Really, nothing much to say here...
