Actually including the two samsung 19" lcd screens I am to total of around $4k, but that is also including a good bti of software so i have a legit copy or two of all the pirated chit I have laying around the house. I will get some pics up once all of my parts are in and I have it built up.

George, yup a few expecially expensive components in there. Hell the memory alone s setting me back around $550 and the processor is around $800, but it will be worth it once it is all set up and I have a system that is my own, as opposed to the pre-built systems I own already.

I got a pre-release of the Watertake BigWater setup... everything should be in tomorrow according to fed-ex's website so I will begin installation after I finish up my mods. Basic e-spray of the case frame, dvd drives, floppy, power supply etc. I will have lots of pics soon!
