I like it.  Good buy! :)

I would have probably gone with a single 8800GTX (768MB VRAM) but, then again, those are hellaciously expensive.  The twin 8600s should serve you well.

That's pretty freaking similar to mine, I've got the same mobo and processor, if I recall correctly, although I've got less RAM, and an 8800GTS, instead of two 8600's. Still, pretty badass :V

Great build newf. Personally, I would have used a single card to hopefully free up a pci-e slot. For a future sata card or a little "sumthin sumthin". But SLI is a good call nonetheless. ;]

man, I should update my compy within the next year. With games like bioshock coming out, there's no way my shit will be able to catch up. X|

We pressed on. Shortly afterwards, we arrived in a poisonous, post-apocalyptic hell - a sprawling, toxic dumping ground stretching for a mile or two. This is the final resting place for your old TV, computer or mobile phone.

Mine was 1,200, not counting the monitor, I'd say that's a little bit more, depending on the case. I'm not sure how much the ram is, but I got Corsair, and it was a bit pricier, so I don't think there'd be a huge difference there. Donno how much an 8600 is, so :s

Mine was 800 all together (with trade in of my old computer)
So 800 cash, and computer.

Sad how quickly their value goes down, isn't it? :(

Just out of curiosity, what was in the old box?
