I have flipped flop a bit on a few key electronics. At one point I was going to build Mother Cloud- and then given some changing life circumstances I opted out. I bought the Samsumg Galaxy Tab- and then I returned it within seven days. Well, the gymnastics is over- it is time to buy Godzilla.
After much waiting (and ridicule) the time has finally come for me to return to the high-performance PC game. If I get my way, then I will assemble this prize in two weeks with a comprehensive video detailing my excitement. (Put it Pon Youchbe!)

I already have a mechanical hard drive with Windows Vista on it from a previous build. Therefore, in the interest of cost and speed of acquisition I opted to fore-go buying a SSD and Windows 7 on the same cart.
My brother has had some success with finding high-quality cases locally. I am going to shop around locally. I want a case that has cable routing, lots of fans and is not noisy.
I have a 24″ Widescreen HD Monitor waiting to be connected to a real machine. I think I am going to connect it using DVI and not the HDMI interface though.
