    I'm sure people probably saw this but just in case, Newegg is running a pretty decent special.

    http://promotions.newegg.com/NEemail/Aug-0-2009/TruePower20/index-landing.html

    $680, everything you need to make a killer desktop.

    1. Thermal Take V9 Black Edition ATX Mid Tower $74.88 after MIR
    2. AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor $169.99
    3. SAMSUNG EcoGreen F2 HD103SI 1TB Internal Hard Drive $79.99
    4. OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory $49.99
    5. ASUS M4A78-E AM2+/AM3 ATX AMD Motherboard $104.99 after MIR
    6. LG Black 22X DVD+R SATA DVD Burner $31.99
    7. Rosewill Xtreme Series RX750-D-B 750W Power Supply $89.99
    8. SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 4890 Video Card $189.99 after MIR

    Only thing I would hold against it is the ATI video card, but I just don't like ATI. Those mail in rebates are just $40 total. So it isn't like they are gouging you like an old CompUSA deal.

    Also, it doesn't include Windows.

    not a bad deal, except that you're building a new system with DDR2 mem. IMO there's no reason not go DDR3 if you're going to be purchasing ram anyway.

    That would be my main complaint - the vid card is perfect unless you are using 30'' displays.

    Agreed, but if your wanting to build on the cheap it's hard to beat.

    I find nothing wrong with that build and grant it my Buddy Christ "Thumbs Up" award.
