Bit the bullet. xps 630 and GTX 280

Well, after much research and debating I finally bit the bullet and purchased the xps 630.  I am aware that there are still lingering issues with the 630.  However, this deal I could not pass up.

XPS 630

Q6600

2gb ram (purchased 4gb OCZ reapers 1066 @ newegg for cheap)

Nvidia GTX 280 1024mb

Raid 0 2x250gb

for $1383.

I figured for my current needs, this is more than enough.  And when the time comes I can update to a new motherboard and the Nehalem chip ;)

I will, for sure, vigiously test this computer as soon as it arrives and make sure all is well within my return window.

Thanks for all the great information here and I'm looking forward to OC'ing this machine and doing some crazy folding!
