ScottC - very interesting idea...had not considered that at all, but after working through the various configurations possible I really like this one the best. Thank you! :-:

fromYYZ_flyer - I'm thinking two SLI'd GeForce 8800 GTX's paired along with my new Samsung 22" wide (2ms response!) will do the job for Premiere, and give me cavities from all the eye candy on FSX! Only drawback is I will not get DX10 since I'm going to allow others to suffer through all the V$sta headaches until that hangover is cured @:-)

iwebslinger - hey dotbomb refugee in a tee and jeans, aren't you supposed to be memorizing script for next mac v pc commercial? In all seriousness, I began with an Apple II many eons ago, but PC software, component array/modularity, etc., issues just outweigh any possibility of a MAC for me.

Somewhere over the Atlantic - definitely lots of cooling fans and a snazzy, lightweight aluminum case by Gigabyte which can also go liquid, but I don't think that will be necessary. It also has a light beam that projects the Gigabyte logo in neon blue onto the surface of whatever computer is on Check it out.

Thanks again folks. I'm putting it together early a.m. and gonna play with it til dawn!
