Now THAT's what I'm talking about. Simply Brilliant. Give me a few to incorporate this into the build.

EDIT: Mind you, the Core i7 920 is available in most places around $290, so $230 isn't the average price and thus won't be used.

@Bobsama, I understand your point. I'll see if I can fit a Sub-$500 rig in there, but I'll see how the rest of the rigs play out first. NOTE: Budget Intel rig now comes with a Quad Core standard.
