We did the eVga X58 Classified Mainboard. the board is so big, we were limited on case choices, so we went the the Coolermaster Haf-X. Also went with a 1200w Modular Power Supply.

lol that thing is crazy but he could have gotten the same gaming performance with a i7 930 and 6GB of RAM. I guess just for the sake of doing it...
He better be running 3 monitors in eyefinity.
That thing is nuts though!

Here are some pics..kinda crude, only had my phone at work

He is gonna surf the web & read his email. He wanted a biggest machine he could get, we decided that more than one video card for him was overkill. Machine is so quiet you can't even hear it running.

I agree, total overkill. Guy is a retired doctor, has to have the latest and greatest. Told him we could build him a nice machine around $600, he said nope, I want the biggest computer you can build. Was in on Friday, asked when the 8-core processors will be out. He said he is going to give this machine to his wife, and buy an 8-core computer when they are available.

Must be rough to have money, huh?

tell him to at least continue with the medical field and fold while he's not using the computer or something lol.
