I will be using a KVM cable to access two PCs from one monitor, baby grand, and mouse.
What do ya think? Any Suggestions?
Answer:
Two things I'd metamorphosis:
Your ram is going to bottleneck that system . Get at smallest 800mhz ram (if not 1000mhz).
Also, I'd recommend a tough drive with 16MB cache (instead of 8MB).
You're already spending 2 distinguished, perhaps consider putting a 74GB raptor (10k rpm as opposing 7200) for your OS drive + a few games you play often, next use a SATA2 drive for storage.
Anyways, good luck next to the build
put about 3 of those bad-boy harddrives contained by raid ... sli 2 8800gt's instead coz 2 gts' will burn a single gtx ... everything else looks peachy .. oh .. and if it was me i would prolly nix the soundcard and simply use the onboard ... unless u just gotta hold some feature its get ... it wont sound any better than the onboard imo ... oh ..heh ... and if i be u i would buy about 3 extra 120mm fan and paste them adjectives over the case .. shes gonna be a hot one ...
