Just letting you know that the Thermaltake Armor Jnr is $162 at MSY. I don't know how to update the page so hopefully you can do it for me lol.
Maybe someone should add the new E2140 and E2160 to this? Better processor for a bit more.

Cases
Why would you put the $1000+ PCs into such a relatively cheap and nasty case?
The TJ04 case in the $1750 machine does not fit the 3870X2 card. NZXT HUSH may be a better choice. http://www.nzxt.com/products/hush/ I have nfi about editing HTML so I'll leave that to someone else.
$750 Graphics cards
Took the liberty of moving the 256mb HD3850s up to 512mb 9600gt for the same price, in the $750 machines First time using wiki editors but I think I got it right.
Memory speeds
Any particular reason these systems are still on DDR2-667? For generic RAM, the price difference between 667 and 800 is negligible/nonexistant (see umart.com.au - DDR2-800 2gb single sticks for $45)
Motherboards
I have a GA-MA770-DS3 and according to Gigabyte they don't support the AMD 9850 they told me I needed the 790X or 790FX boards. I am interested to know if they do work as it would save me buying a new board. THanx
