If you can find it, lmk. My special government check finally came in! ATM my prospective rig is sitting at $978.93, about $400 below my original price!
I already bought the dvd writer for $25 last week! I can't wait.
Full Version: My prospective rig
Alright, I got an "at cost" quote for some of the parts I need at work. I was thinking I'd buy the whole thing with my last paycheck but then I found a girlfriend so... uh... i don't have that money anymore... :\
Anyways, here it goes:
Antec P182 BLK SUPER CHAS MID STD ATX 11 = $129.47
Intel BOXDX38BT ATX MBD S775 PCIE 2X16 DDR2 SA = $236.15
Intel BX80562Q6600 BOX CORE 2 QUAD Q6600 2.4 2X4M = $203.67
S1024R5NO2QA 1GB DDR3 1066 PC3-8500 UN-BUFF = $75.24 x2 = 150.48
WD1600JS 160GB SATA II/300 8MB 7200 HDD = $46.00
Sparkle FSP650-80GLC 650WT EPS12 Volt Power Supply = $94.25
I still have to double check on whether the RAM has heat-spreaders, and might have to use a return policy on the PSU if it doesn't support the power rails.
Other stuff i removed from the quote was the video card which we can't get. Also left-over stuff like extra hard drives, sound card and extra memory left out of initial config. I already bought the DVD writer... its sitting on my kitchen table for the past 3 weeks. It cost $25.

Uh, you better buy a video card. That motherboard does not have integrated video.

Ya, the video card I want isn't something our distributor caries. I axed everything off that quote and just ordered the chassis. Hopefully it comes in this week.
I didn't care about the PSU, it has a lifetime warranty, but it sucks so I am not getting a Sparkle. Still want a Thermaltake or an Antec. We have an Earthwatts PSU at work in the repair department, it is so awesome, I might get one of those.
And the RAM i dropped off cuz it also has a lifetime warranty, but its Avant and they suck. Plus it doesnt have heat spreaders on it.
Case came in. It looks teh awesomes.
Check my awesome price...
I didn't get a rebate, but then again I didn't pay for shipping. Here is the newegg price:

This is the exterior. I will keep the plastic on until I get more parts.
It comes with 3 fans which is pretty cool.
And it has drive bays aplenty.
This was well worth not having any more money for the next week and a half.
