So I would need quad core, quad sli, and 4 gigs of ram, a motherboard that would be able to support quad sli, and 2 hard drives that run on Raid whichever ones the fastest. Well that's basically it so if anyone has any other suggestions please post

Somebody is going to have fun speccing this one. I would do but i'm about to hit the hay.

sweet, the first quad SLI guinea pig. Chris - you know what's there, so just spit out what you are thinking and I am sure you will get some good feedback. as well as a lot of bad feedback related to "why do you need quad SLI"............................

dell 30" ftw. I got the 24" (2407) When it first came out and love it.

That cooler master case is great and if you get the latest one it has the new enthusiast standard were it integrates with the mobo and fans.

The Cosmos ESA case looks pretty sweet. I just got a "In Stock" alert from FrozenCPU for that case.

If your spending that much on a case i'd look at Silverstones range.

I prefer the Silverstone myself I was able to look at one in the Micro Center I went to and it was a quality case. Anothe nice case that i saw there was the Thermaltake Armor.

I'd say the 27" over the 30". Even a pair of monster 9800GX2s will have issues driving that beast (due to the ultra high resolution) on things like Crysis and likely other future DX10 games. then again, I don't like having to choose between maximum prettiness and maximum framerate

And it's not like you'll have significant desktop space issues at 1920X1200. And if you do need more space, you can just get 2 monitors for the same price as that 30".

But that's just me.
