    The purpose of this project is to make a system that is very upgradable having as much "bang for buck" as possible and is within $2000AUD.

    I will be starting with an Intel 805D, for obvious reasons, until Conroe prices come down.

    I wasn't willing to spend huge amounts on a Graphics Card when I know these prices will come down in the very near future, so I choose the HIS x1800GTO which can be readliy unlocked to open 16pp and be just like the more expensive x1800xtx.

    Anyway have a look at the document, all prices are in AUD and I have it @$2009 for top end RAM, Mobo, PSU and very good parts.

    Thanks for any feedback.

    Please if you have any serious recommendations please provide technical references/reviews and consider that parts may have limited supply within Australia but I have plenty of Australian supplier links on the bottom of the page.

    Look my major dillema is which mobo:

    ASUS P5W DH Deluxe or
    DFI S775 975X/G Infinity Core 2

    If anyone has any good links on technical reviews especially comparisons between the 2 it would be greatly appreciated.
