keep in mind i'm on a budget. no more than $1300 can be spent on this rig

 

Case: Thermaltake Aguila Aluminum = $118.99

 

Watercooling System: Thermaltake Big Water 735 = $111.99

 

Zalman Northbridge Cooler = $9.95

 

Mobo: EVGA nVidia Sli 680i = $174.99

 

Intel Core 2 Duo: Conroe E6300 = $181.00

 

Corsair, XMS2 2x1GB RAM = $199.00

 

EVGA nVidia 7-series 512mb GFX Card = $112.99

 

Seasonic M12 600W Power Supply = $149.99

 

Samsung DVD burner = $38.99

 

Sony Floppy Drive = $13.49

 

 

 

most of these things have free shipping and are not taxed.. all said, these things add up to $1183.98, but there are $150 or so worth of mail in rebates, so i'm within budget enough that i may get an E6400 instead of the 6300

 

hardware guru's, what do you think of my selections in general? also, how hard would it be to put OSX86 on as well?
