This must be the third time I've said this on here...

That's absolutely rubbish and you should send it to me (This forum really needs jealousy tags )

In seriousness though, that's sweet.

Just out of curiosity though, what made you go for the 8600's and the X-Fi Fatality?

the xi-fi was one of the best ones on there, and was a great deal. the 8600s... well i figured the 8800s were overkill. 8600s in sli would be great.

It's very nice. If you've had chosen to go for the 8800s, then I would go for a 1000watt power supply. 8800s in SLI i mean.

For you, since you said 2500 AUD, i know that a blu-ray drive is beyond the budget, so i cut it out.. i also took out the AS5. because, well, its not needed in the list lol
