My cpu, hard drive, motherboard, cooling fan, and floppy drive arrived today. Tomorrow I get my evga 8800GT, and I start to build.

Awww man you are one lucky dude. I need to get another $1200 before I can start buying my parts...

Ah well, I hope for the best for you.

p.s. Good choice for the Intel E8400, most people having been choosing to go quad core for some reason...

Sorry if I'm missing it, but I don't see an OS in that pile of fabulous equipment. What are you going with?
