        after the jmicron ssd controller scandal I don't feel SSd's are mature yet. But I have a pair of sata ports ready for a ssd boot raid when the ssds are better.

          Seriously, sounds like a great rig - what CPU cooler are you using?
          NOCTUA NH-U12P SE1366

          a bit of overkill atm as I am not overeclocking it now.

          But it should do the job nicely later when I will try to run the cpu at i7 975 speeds or faster

                  Spend any time over on the OcUK forums? I haven't really paid much attention to such things since I built my last Opteron 175 rig, but I'd be interested to hear how you get on.
