i would wait till january as the new 45nm parts will be out then on the 20th. imo if this rig is gonna be around a while the 45nm cpu is the way to go.

Thats about what I was expecting. most likely everyone else would agree too. I guess I can buy the case and say eventually there will be other stuff in there =P
