Received the parts today, and I got everything assembled in a few hours (I was surprised how easy everything went together for my first build) I am still working on the vista install(not completed, still installing) but so far I haven't had a single error of any sort.

Good to hear.

Holy crap that's a big case. I have the 900 and fought that #$%##($*% thing all last night trying to get stuff to fit. I do another build I am DEFINITELY getting the 1200. I think those extra two fans it comes with would help too.

Nice job.

All looks good, but I'm not sure about your RAM, I don't think it is running in duel channel, as for most motherboards, you need to put the 2 sticks into the same coloured slots for duel channel to be used. Have a check in your motherboard manual and have a see how it's ment to be set up, as if it's not running in duel channel it's not running as fast as it could be.

You have a very sharp eye!

It is a very good point. You need to move one of the sticks so they are both in the same coloured sockets.
