Motherboard arrived and it looks awesome..looks huge...and it came with a couple of round cables that are neon orange to match the board and a FrontX ....a device that I want, but......this one is putty in color and my box is black,...havent checked out the options yet but I will.
Next step is RAM and a couple hard drives. two 40GB or two 80GB I am not sure how I will configure them. And if I can swing the cost I will go for 4GB memory. Is that overdoing?

Anyone have a company that they swear by that I should look at? or one that the swear at that I should avoid. So far I have just priced out IBM Deskstar 80GB and it is pretty pricey especially since I am going for a match set of whatever I get. Well just starting this next purchase so any input is welcome.

OH ...has anyone ever heard of arctic silver? You use it in place of the thermal pad between the heatsink and the processor. scientificaly it makes a lot of sense, anyone have practical experience with it?
