I wanted to take a minute and thank Eco in particular, not only for all the benchmarking and testing but for filling out shopping carts at NewEgg, emailing me the best deals and generally keeping me pointed straight.
I actually ordered 9 out of 10 items that Eco had previously selected for me in Shopping Carts.
As I'm about to stop posting about computers and start posting about sims, missions, BS and Il2, I thought I'd take a minute to thank my friend for all his hard work on my behalf.
I'm happier with this computer build than I have been with most other things I've purchased in life. Now I'll go benefit from his CoreDuo overclocking guide....

Thanks again Eco,
S~
