That's what I did, clocked it up to 3.8 Ghtz, got 3 TB of WD storage, a couple of ATI 4890's in CrossfireX, 6 gigs of DDR3 @ 1600, BLUUU-RAAAAY, Coolermaster Cosmos with a window to see all my cool quality custom picked equipment inside, 25 inch Asus monitor, tuner, etc., all for 2500 bones. Your comments about the XEON are spot on. Nice to see an avid builder around here...I know there's more, but we usually just sit back and laugh. I've seen a certain Apple expert around here spec out i7 systems using DDR2 and power supplies twice as big as needed...LOL. The OS debate is as old as the hills, everybody should just use what they like. That Scout is a nice case, I also considered the Sniper. Take good care of your spanking AMD rig :)
Wow, that’a a heck of a system you’ve built. It ought to get the job done :) What kind of cooling did you use? Surely not air...
