Well, its actually prety similar to the SUPERPC, but a bit different, heres my hardware:

Antec 900
EVGA 8800 GTX
ASUS M2N32 SLI Deluxe Wireless
AMD 6000+ AM2
Zalman 9700 CPU fan
3 Gigs of G-Skill DDR2 800 RAM
150 GB Raptor X
200 GB caviar
2 SATA Lite-On DVD Drives
700W OCZ GamerXtream PSU
Vista Ultimate 32 bit
Samsung SyncMaster 226BW 22" LCD Monitor
Keep in mind this is my first build, and any tips or tricks with vista would be helpful (sometimes its REALLY annoying), and what should I expect down the road? Also would love performance optimization tips. I would also like to see your guys thoughts on it!
PS: I tried to update my 8800, but i had to roll back the driver because it wouldnt go past 1280 X 1024 resolution, and i NEED 1680 x1080, or else evrything looks ugly, lol. Just a tip for those with 8800's, waiting for 1.6 driver.

Nice rig! I'd expect you to be able to slay about anything with it.

I'm in the process of building a very similar computer--aside from the video card, case, psu, and hdd. Similar mobo, same RAM, same processor, same heatsinkfan. I hope that RAM is compatible, I've heard that some Asus motherboards are picky (it's not listed on their qualified vendors list).
