quad build

I also built two quad core rigs this weekend using the Asus striker.The only diff is that i picked up two brand new QX6800s for $900 for both,! Here's my parts list:
CoolerMaster Black 830 Stacker / QX6800 OCed to 3.2GHz with a modified freezone / Two 150GB Raptors & Two Samsung 250GB Sata2 HDDs / Two eVGA 8800GTX's cooled with a CoolIt Systems PCI Cooling Booster / 4Gbs of Corsair PC8500 Dominators / CoolerMaster 1000w Real Power Pro / BFG PhysX card / Two Samsung 18x DVD burners with light scribe / Saitek Red Eclipse keyboard / Razer Krait mouse / Razer eXact Mat / HP LP2465 24" LCD. I also had no problems what so ever with the Striker Extreme in either build.The 2nd build was almost the same with the only diff being two 8800 640Mb GTS's a WD750Gb HDD and a Samsung 250Gb Sata2 HDD. This time i used 4 Gbs of XMS2 Pro PC6400. On the 1st build I did a mild OC 3.2Ghz and ran 3dmark06.My score was 16,427,I belive if i took it to 3.46 i would be able to hit 17,000. Getting the QX6800s for $450 each brand new was to good of a deal to pass up,!
