very interesting, i wonder how long it will take before Overclockers has these in stock :)

how many speakers are in the ceiling? are you going to need to buy some front speakers as well, as it may be that the speakers were put there for the surround part for a 7.1 or 5.1 setup. a good cheap av receiver i would look at would be the ONKYO TXSR333, it has 6hdmi inputs and 1 hdmi output...

Also you do not want to add one more stick since the board/processor you have is triple channel, hence having 3x 2Gb sticks. Best upgrade is just an SSD and graphics card as suggested.

what version of windows? there is a command which escapes me (google it) that allows you to remove all the files created during install and during any windows updates.

awesome desk! I couldn't quite see from the picture, but do you have anything supporting the graphics cards? or are they going to wobble on there pcie slots each time you bump the desk with your knee or something?

do you mean a Phenom II x4 550 ? personally i'd sell that one and overclock the e6400, asus P5n e was a great board i owned one for many years.

How old is your motherboard? are you not able to RMA it? Other than that, maybe try taking the board out of the case clean it with some compressed air? eyeball the back of it see if there is anything obvious you can see? Don't go touching anything with a soldering iron you'll end up doing more...

If what stulid above doesn't fix it try disconnecting and reconnecting all power leads, and reseat the graphics card too.

i would hazard a guess your motherboard may be the cause of your cold boot issue, maybe a contact somewhere is not making correctly until it has warmed a little. Try getting a hair-dryer and run some warm air over the motherboard for a few mins see if you still get the same "cold" boot issue...

top of the range for what? gaming, photo editing, video encoding?

yeah personally i've never got on with desks that have keyboard trays, like BluD said there is never enough room for mouse movement. I prefer a desk that has a rear raised section for the monitor to sit on so the keyboard and mouse are at the same level on the desk.

i second the get two more 2gb sticks, since if you upgrade in the future 1-2years down the line? you'll probably want DDR4 ram anyhow.

correct sli has to the same card.

keep the ssd. very much a must for me nowadays on any build.

is that one stick of 8gb ram or 2x4Gb ? as if you only have one stick i'd definately upgrade that so your at least running in dual channel mode.. Dump the 80Gb drive, get a 256Gb SSD and partition it to run both osx and win7, plus should have some room for your most played games on there. Just...

great build JeffyB, but is it the camera angle or is there a slight kink in the tube between cpu and gpu? might need to get an angled connector to put less of a bend on the tube?

great thanks Sgt Pepper.

I have the following PSU: http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/500-700w-power-supply-group-test_Page-8 I've just bought a pair of these second hand: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-221-EA&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1750 from *RICH* on the forums, but i...
