I'd go for something along these lines, you can get it closer to the budget but most of the changes are fairly cosmetic e.g. a nicer looking case or slightly more powerful PSU and a larger hard drive but the basic components I'd leave unchanged I reckon.

Thanks for the reply...

is it not a good idea to get a 10k rapto? (would this make a huge difference?)

also i want a g/c that can to sli (can all pci express do this)


what sort of 3dm scores would this system get?

Please don't just get a system for the 3dmark scores, sure test it to see if it works ok once you get it but don't buy one just for that. If you want to find out the rough scores you should expect, take a look on the Orb for similar systems.

Raptors aren't worth it as far as I am concerned when they cost so much and aren't hugely faster than the Seagate 7200.10 that I specified but if you have the extra cash don't let me stop you.

Finally you can't go for SLi with an ATI graphics card, you can however do Crossfire which is very nearly the same thing although you need a Master card which you can buy later. There is next to no point in a dual graphics card setup unless you are gaming at very high resolutions though (1600x1200 and above) while your 19" tft is likely to be maxed out by a single X1900XT easily.
 
Interior layout very good. Got those slide rails for opticals and hdd's. Lots of space as well. Duct got chucked out on third day when i installed the sonic tower. Bit of a gimmick tbh.
