Nice. What was the total cost of the build? You should have posted your list sooner so we could critique your list. I realy don't think the 4x raptor drives are really necessary. Neither are the GTX in SLI. Not worth it for the performance boost unless you have a large screen resolution. Also the new nvdia 9xxx series are coming out in the coming month so that would yield better performance than your dual GTX.

I had posted a list in the past, Most of the drives are pulled from a previous Build and one of the 8800 GTxs as well. I had a rig with 2 500 GB Barracudas, and 3 Raptors. 2 8800GTXs in SLI. I took all the HD except 1 out and took 1 of the 8800 GTXs out of it. Traded that rig to a buddy of mine for his Motorcycle.

So, the HD's are here already and weren't paid for, the 1 8800GTX is already here as well.

I bought Everything else for $1800.00
