Imo really bad time to upgrade, Keplar and Ivy bridge will be coming out really soon.
Yeah this is exactly the answer to I wanted to hear. If it's only a month, will likely wait for the new stuff, if only to get the older stuff cheaper.

Cool. Will do. Although I have a stock Intel on the current i7 860 and have run it 50% for 2 weeks on two occassions with no probs. That's with all sides of the case open though.

Usually I get my systems from Arc Penrith (arc.com.au). They do sell Tt stuff, they just don't stock much of it (that I've ever seen anyway). But if I'm waiting a month that won't matter. Recommendations for a mid-size with a USB 3.0 on the front? Also the Tt stuff is more expensive there. Can you hook me up ? :P
