This will be my build log of this upcoming rig and I will post pictures and updates as I build it.

tHE p6x58d is a good board, just remember to turn off E-GATE or whatever in the BIOS if you don't want to be bothered w/ the operating system on the SSD that is int. on the board.

Very solid setup. Congrats!

 

[hitman1985]

ugh neweggs price to sell within state is just ripoff period.

sure its convenient to have the stuff within a day, but i think if you would have shopped around you could have gotten better deals.

all in all it should be a decent rig

 

[goobergump]

Looking forward to it my man!

 

[fssbzz]

very nice price for that set up

 

[xd_1771]

Wow, $1200CAD is how much my (inferior) system cost

Oh wait, you reused that hard drive and SSD, so those counted your system would be more like $1500

EDIT: Coincidental.... 1200TH POST

Thanks. I looked around for some deals when I went to microcenter & frys yesterday but I really couldn't find any or I was too lazy to look around the whole place lol. I was comparing everything from newegg with the prices in the stores with my Droid and I didn't really find anything better than the newegg prices. So all I ended up buying was the 902 since it was the same price as newegg and I wouldn't have to wait for it to ship + the CPU at a smaller price.
