Hah, by that time the Core i5s might be out.

If you're saving up, why spend all that money on the classified anyways?

because one the Core i5 looks extremely pointless and intel should just make the P55 motherboard but allow LGA1366 processors to run it like what they did with the X48 and P45. 2 the Classified is one amazing motherboard and 3 this is the last computer im building till i go to college so i thought id go all out.

So the amazing Cooler Master HAF came. I started taking out like the upper power supply plate, expansion slot mesh, all the fans, and some of the front panel stuff i took off. Tomorrow im going to home depot to get the paint and what not. After getting back ill be de-riveting but first i got to look at the case where all the rivets are. I also noticed there are counter sunk rivets but im going to get dome rivets i think.

So Im off to home depot in about 1 hour. i have $80 bucks to spend which i think is more then enough for what I'm getting. Oh,I also started taking off the top thing that has the USB, Fill Port Hole, Power button. Now i just have the main frame and the drivers bays on the inside so when i get back ill just De-rivet the case leaving the frame intact. Pictures coming tonight.

So here's what i have to work with. I'm getting the clear coat in like a week i need like 20 more bucks. i spent $80 on what i bought today. The pictures show everything i got and 1 more part is coming next week besides the clear coat. the new rivets.

The disassemling pictures are coming up tonight or tomorrow so stay tuned.
