oh my f,ing god i could only dream of a rig that expensive just think what that could do for my e penis ---------------------------------------)

:p .
 
The 1TB hard drives are faster than raptor's, I would go a 680i board sorry. If he has the cash he can OC the QX6850 :).
 
There still should be a price range, i dont see the point in speccing two ultras when two gtx's will be fine!

I think this should be a good system.

I think it will though, also i would include a raptor and get the Q6600 and pick a different case & PSU.

How can it? it only has 1 PCI-E x16 slot :p :) besides I thought P35 only supported cross fire as the P35 chipset doesn't support X16 + X16, I was under the impression that on the crossfire boards the primary card urilises x16 but the secondary card has to use an x4 lane?

Although I have heard that people have used hacked drivers to get SLI working, you'll probably not be getting the new 8800's in SLI on the P35

I may have heard wrong though

re: 1337z0r spec

Change the PSU to the 1GW enermax one, the motherboard to the p5k deluxe (1 gfx card) or the evga 680i (2 gfx cards) and put some watercooling on that CPU (or high end air at the very least) as it's going to get hot.

Other than that, it looks pretty good.

Or you could just go with Thermaltake's spec.

P35 doesn't do SLi. X38 may do, but it hasn't been released yet.
