I had started some posts here for a new build... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=222974&perpage=6&pagenumber=2 and I will re- post them in this thread for easy referencing as suggested by Bolimomo. This build started as I had experienced trouble with a current machine, and felt it is best to assemble a new machine while trouble is resolved with older unit found here ... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=222322 from previous post: I just picked up these parts this evening. I needed to get a new build as the current one has had some issues and until resolved I went for a new setup.

Looking for a cpu cooler for the i7 2600k that the Antec P183 can fit. Reading up on some good reviews from newegg on the COOLER MASTER Hyper 212. It is big but the P183 should fit this easily. Anyone have any experience with this cooler or perhaps a better recommendation ? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ogle-_-CPU+Cooling-_-Cooler+Master-_-35103065
Newegg price for the Antec CP850 recommended ps for the P183 Antec Case Some of the reviews I had read suggesting any purchase of the P183 case should go with this ps as the cables are longer for the larger p183 case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371024&Tpk=cp850
Here is a receipt to give an idea of the prices for parts purchased so far. MicroCenter purchases The Asus GT 430's are all on separate receipts due to the 1 per customer rebates. Those video cards have a $20.00 mail in rebate each so I will get back $60. from the 3 cards. The OCZ Agility 120gb ssd comes with a $30.00 mail in rebate so that total comes to $219.00 after The I7 was prices down $90. from original price of $369. The Asus P8p67 pro mb comes with an instant $40.00 in store rebate with the purchase of the i7. So far $90.00 in mail in rebates coming back. OCZ ps will be used in an older computer and if I decide on the P183 case a new purchase will be made for the Antec CP850 ps. at a cost of $129. newegg Adding an Antec P183 case will be an additional $150. ish
Made the purchase for the Antec P183 case. The design is nice and it is just what I am looking for in this build. Plenty of room inside this case for airflow. Price $154.00 I have also picked up a Kingwin kf-1000-bk 3.5 internal hot swap rack. It was priced down to $17.00 Installed this exact unit in the Antec 900 and it has worked excellent for a few years now Picked up a basic dvd player at about $19.00, Except for using to install the OS and to burn some ISO files when needed I really never use this. Still looking for a CPU cooler I do like the Antec KUHLER Box Universal CPU Cooler http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0364098 Good reviews and this case can handle it. Will check on the P8p67 pro to make sure it is a good fit. Still open to suggestions of any kind.
