I like ecc memory so we'll start off with a W3520 cpu which is an LGA1366 socket.
So [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]an ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution[/FONT] motherboard sounds interesting.
I'm tempted by Fermi but I'm also tempted to go ATI but less than top end card with the intention of replacing with Fermi if Fermi actually works out and isn't a flop. nVidia are being very quiet about the card which makes me suspect it's not going to be a world beater.
I have a copy of Win 7 home 64 bit lying around so 6 gigs of 1066 memory.
Case, I'm after quiet, I'd thought Antec but I'm open to suggestions. Power supply depends on what Fermi wants I suppose but I don't think I'm after a 1000 watts, I have to pay the hydro bill as well.
Hard drives, something big say 2 terrabytes is tempting with a decent warranty, and possibly a Raptor for the boot drive.
Thoughts?
Thanks John
