Full unit, unless an OS comes free then YES - needs Vista Ultimate

 

[beast]

Gotta be a 6600, some anniversary RAM (2 gig), a P5B or DS4, 8800GTX, two sata-2 HDD's in a RAID 0, a nice Asus case, XFI card, windows vista.

 

[beast]

Actually you'd have to have an 8800GTS if you wanted vista with the spec above. But it would still be beast!

I'd go with what beast says but an Asus P5N-E SLI NF650i and a Lian Li PC7+ case.
