Post #355,693 by Another Scott 3/22/12 5:50:30 PM Reply	How did it turn out? I've been playing around with a list of parts based on this: http://techreport.com/articles.x/22513/5 Upping it to an FX-8150, more RAM, cheaper video card, 256 GB SSD for OS, etc., gets it up to around $1300. A roughly similar box from Cyberpower seems to be around $1250 - http://www.cyberpowe...er_Scorpius_9500/ (zooks that's a horrible web page). It's tempting, especially when reading about motherboard reviews that talk about having to use a different CPU to flash the BIOS and so forth (while recognizing that motherboard reviews are all over the map). :-/ Thanks. Cheers, Scott.
