Hi All,
I took a stroll to Microcenter today and one of the reps confirmed the LGA2011 sockets and Mobo's will be on the shelf officially on Tuesday. I am guessing this is in-line with the planned public announcement of Intel releasing the 2011 CPU on the 15th I have read about. I guess we will know for sure soon.
Well, I have been out of the grounds-up system building for a while (well over a decade). I finally decided to take the jump back into custom builds since I could not find anything I liked out in the consumer market. All I can say is WOW! So much has changed, but I am anxious about the new build. I have been following the new LGA lineup for the last year when I was about to purchase the 1366.
Hopefully, if all goes well the following will be included in my custom build. I welcome your input and also discussion on other builds if there are anyone out there that will also be upgrading.
===================================
Intel core i7 3960x
Rampage IV Extreme x79
EVGA GeForce GTX 580 Classified Hydro Copper (x2/x3)
OCZ 120 GB Vertex 3 SATA III 6.0 Gb-s
WD VelociRaptor 600 GB SATA III 10,000 RPM (x1/x2)
Enermax MaxRevo EVO EMR1350EWT
Asus Xonar Xense Premium Gaming Audio Set
G.Skill / Dominator 32GB RAM (Undecided but I am a fan of G.Skill)
Lamptron FC-5 V2 Black Fan Speed Controller (this seems to be the best controller I could find but I welcome your input if you use another.)
Great Respect! to all

UPDATE:
There are 3 pics of the LGA 2011 water cooled system on page-1 of the responses below. Also, on page-2 of the posts in addition to this update there is an attached Excel sheet (Itemized_list.xls) that lists all of the items used in my build, as well as, the cost at the time of purchase. For each item purchased I also listed the vendor I used.
The PC is about 8k
Monitors about 3.5k
Sound System 2.5k
Much Respect!
