Hi guys, I thought I'd post my latest build:

DFI Lan Party nf4 SLI
Athlon FX-57 oc'd to 2.9
nVidia 7800GXT
2GB RAM
WD Raptor x2 RAID0
DVDRW
Audigy 2ZS Platium
Viewsonic 4ms 19"

Pics to follow... I have to host them - they're a little to big to upload..

Here they are:

This has since been changed a bit, added an additional 7800 in SLI, and upgraded to 4GB RAM. Now it really screams - Will post pics if I get a chance. Also, all of the yellow cables were replaced with Clear/Black, very sharp. Not bad for $5k! There is no Alienware of Falcon that could take it.
 
One quick question, did you have any problems with the DFI Land Party? I've built before with the DFI Land Party and it burnt out 2 times before i got a good one. I was just woundering if You had any problems.
 
No problems with the Lan Party - had to play in the BIOS a bit to get everything recognized - but's as stable as anything else. I was only able to get the FX-57 to 3GHz before small issues started cropping up so I backed it off to 2.9. That Zalman keeps everything very cool - I did have to trim it to fit the additional RAM in.

As for the case - the pics don't do it justice. It is very well built, but HEAVY. 25# empty i think it was. You have to be careful how you carry it - the Lan Party came with a strap that fit it - so it wasn't a big deal. The paint is definitely automotive quality, looks like you could hop on and kick start it.

I read the same reviews - they complained of the case door THWAAAAACKing the top of the case, etc, etc. It's a great case, well built, and looks awesome in person.
