Uber rig to me means 2GB of RAM, a Core 2 overclocked, a Geforce 8800 series card, and a couple of Raptors in RAID-0.

You should be able to get your Opteron up to at least 2.6Ghz.

I would say at least the first two of those 4 options are quite common now. You have to go above and beyond to be considered über.

4GB RAM + an X6800 or QX6700 would do it for me right now.

Everybody forgets the Dell 30 inch LCD

I recently picked up two SS cases, the LC03 and the LC13. Both came from the factory with glaring physical errors. One had a couple case fan screws missing, and one remaining was stripped bare...looked like they tried to remove it, couldn't, and just shipped it out. The same case also had one grommet for the foot missing, and so one foot was screwed on.

The other case had all FOUR feet screwed in....with 2 different kinds of screws. Amazingly, there were grommets in the box, floating free. Just never installed.

I was very disappointed with what is regarded as a relatively upscale case. On the other hand, both cases LOOKED good, which I guess is what people want.

I'd say I'm pretty close .. just waiting for DX10 card

But i think Über changes all the time, its hard to stay on top of things. I came from an Opty 170 to this rig, big difference

4gb (2x1gb per processor)
pci-x fibre channel hardware raid card, raid 5 4x Curtis HyperXCLR, 1x for spare hotswappable
