That looks pretty maxxed to me.
I mean, you wanna go over the top, and don't have a budget, drop the 2 tb drives, and put a raid 0 array with a controller in front of 3-5 256gb SSDs.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147136
Why do 2 ATi in crossfire, when you can do 3?.. huh-huh.. :redface:
Why stop at 28"? - Take that puppy up to 72" glistening inches of 1080 HD lovely goodness...
or maybe use ATi Eyefinity : http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/ati-eyefinity-technology/Pages/eyefinity.aspx

Now that's what I'm talking about!! joygasm! :redface:;)

other then that, you build looks good. ;)

OK, Yeah I was thinking of doing some RAID 0 with it, I just couldn't pass up these TB drives for 80 bucks a piece lol. And my distributors had the 6850 on sale for 110 ;) which is good but... im limited into only running two.. but I have the slots open for more.. Im running everything on a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7...
Well Thank you for the input .. :) when Uncle Sam pays me I'll look into some other options!!!

Why do three, when you can do 4? Why stop at one processor, when you can have two? Why stop at 16GB of RAM, when you can have 48? All possible on this board:

I want one but can't justify the price tag right now...

And supposedly some people have gotten 96GB of RAM to work with it...though why you would buy that many 8GB DIMMs (which are uber-pricey and completely unnecessary) is beyond me

EDIT: Playing BF3 on Ultra will make you mess your pants, the first time you play.

I cant wait... The major cost has been the monitors and the brackets to hold them all.

I figured you probably spent more then half on the 27" monitors w/ eyefinity setup. But I guarantee after its all setup, you'll love it.

Between the beast of a PC, and the 1911. You sir are a man after my own heart...

Now we just need to move that MW3 poster further away from the awesome PC... The two just don't go together :p

EDIT: whats your battlelog name, I'll get you setup in the BF3 PC platoon
