Well, here we go again. Just submitted the order for my new build.

• Core i7 870
• 4 x 4GB of Kingston RAM
• Intel DP55WB mATX motherboard
• EVGA 1G GTX460 FPB edition
• Antec NSK 3480 mATX case

Still TBD is a SSD and possibly an aftermarket cooler, since the 870 apparently gets rather hot. If all goes well, this will be my desktop for the next 2-3 years. If not, I’ll be back on a mac mini in about a year 😉
update: SSD ordered! Went with the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 120GB edition. Intel was the king of the hill last time I checked, but it seems the latest SF-1200 based drives are actually faster (even on random writes), and this drive seemed like it was in the best of the best. We’ll see.
But actually, most of my data isn’t going to be stored on this drive anyways, so if it dies, it’s not that huge of a deal 😛
