One thing, the 320mb G80 is still on the Mainstream list, without a doubt the 8800GT should be in it's place. Almost the same price for superior preformance.

We haven't had the opportunity to play with a new 8800GT yet, though one should be on its way........same reason we held off on the 3580 and 3870....which I've heard very positive things about. they will be eligible for the next update.


As to the Maximus, Sean is currently playing with one I believe....

I think the enthusiast Hard drive selection is weak. Granted it's a great drive but so are the latest generation of 1TB drives and one Older one as well
Like:
Samsung Spinpoint F1 (non raid edition)
Hitachi 7k1000.B
Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11
