Hi all -

I'm taking advantage of the fine group of "hardware" experts here.

Am ready to jump up to faster system...
would someone check this out and comment, please?It's a barebones Q6600 for $1,495, w 4gig ram, Gigabit network and all the other ususal stuff. No vdeo card.

I have ample video boards and hard drives -
I'd like to keep total cost under $2,500.

Do you like/hate this particular setup? (MOBO, power supply, cooling)
Do you have a better idea within the same price parameter?

Thanks for your experience...

Victor, you can get the QX6700, the 975X ATX Intel Motherboard, and 4GB of RAM for $1,490.00 from Newegg.

Tiger Direct is more expensive, plus you have to pay State sales tax, living in Florida!
