i had kinda hope speakman had died, what a pity
Updated 17/07/2011Tired of waiting for Bulldozer to actually show up, so have updated everything. There are some minor changes to prices and products (such as hard drives, memory and CPU cooling due to availability) as well as a universal movement from Sandforce 1200 to Sandforce 2200 solid state drives where present, with a resultant near doubling of speed. A welcome and easy change is from P67 to the new and superior Z68 motherboards in our very prevalent LGA-1155 (Sandy Bridge) PC's - as a result of Z68, the gaming rigs now all have included SSD's, due to the awesomeness of SSD caching and shome shiny new cases to boot. At the upper end, all PC's now have 8+GB of RAM due to its cheapness and can observe a pro Nvidia graphics movement (with the GTX 560 Ti, GTX 570 and GTX 580 ruling the upper end). In the budget end we also see AMD's powerful new Llano CPU's take up home - increasing cost by $200, but bringing quad core (with each core being much faster) and critically very functional basic gaming capabilities to even our cheapest system. HTPC's stay with Intel for now due to their lower price and power consumption (though this may change with incoming cheaper Llano CPUs and boards) with a few minor changes and speed upgrades.Mmm.. power Now for AMD to bring out Bulldozer, and Intel Sandy-Bridge E...
The gaming build has a 6950 2gig instead of the 560Ti you update the list again since this post philo old boy?
Some of the 6950s flash to 6970s too, which makes them even better value. The only reason I grabbed a GTX570 was because it was an open box deal for only 400 bucks, otherwise it would have been Radeon for me too.
people have had issues with it and some cards wont do it.

Should the pagefile be placed on SSDs? Yes. Most pagefile operations are small random reads or larger sequential writes, both of which are types of operations that SSDs handle well.In looking at telemetry data from thousands of traces and focusing on pagefile reads and writes, we find that•Pagefile.sys reads outnumber pagefile.sys writes by about 40 to 1, •Pagefile.sys read sizes are typically quite small, with 67% less than or equal to 4 KB, and 88% less than 16 KB.•Pagefile.sys writes are relatively large, with 62% greater than or equal to 128 KB and 45% being exactly 1 MB in size.In fact, given typical pagefile reference patterns and the favorable performance characteristics SSDs have on those patterns, there are few files better than the pagefile to place on an SSD.

Looks more like an office box to me, would it be for a gaming rig? You could probably get something with more room and better cooling.Although the website says 'good cooling' and shows a side vent
