Lian Li cases are fantastic. Have a PC-V1000 myself and i love it. They are beautifully built and solid pieces of kit, and imo have a nice sleek understated design. Like Stern i also love a lot of Silverstone's cases, same build quality and sleek look with maybe a little more excitement than...
Mostly interested in sinking lots of time into Forza 3 (out already i know) and GT5 when it is released next year. Oooh, and Battlefield BC2 on the PC !

I don't get any of the crashing issues i did when the game was first released. But every other time i load up the game i have bizzare corrupted shadows, which can be solved by restarting or rebooting. Would be nice if it was sorted in the next round of drivers or patches.
Yup. I had the same problem and found that alt-tabbing out and back in actually worked, failing that a reboot. Odd ! Have you changed any drivers etc. recently that could explain this ?
In the days of DDR and reasonably low clock speed, lower latency provided a healthy improvement in performance. Now with the rocketing clock speeds we are seeing it makes little difference:

That is the exact board i would go for if i were looking for something around that budget. However i am also not sure that board is certified to cope with the current 140W phenom II's.
There has been plenty of success with the X3 Phenoms. Not sure about use with the X4's though...
I stopped playing games right up until the moment i go to sleep. I did tend to find that they remained ingrained in my mind and tended to lead to restless nights of sleep !
That i don't believe. I'm not a Catholic, so i don't see touchy feely old dudes as you put it. The kind of church i go to people do make donations sure, but it's from personal choice, they make donations to help with the upkeep of the church, largely the pastors salary (it is a full time job...
So, you're an atheist and you don't like Christianity or people pushing it upon others. Join the majority of the population !
I like your reasoning that because someone believes in something you don't that they are a lost cause....... surely all that matters is that they are happy as they are ?
My recommendation would be this:

Big, top notch image quality and more inputs than you can shake a stick it, and a reasonable price for what it is too.
I bought one myself after many months of research and...
I would have thought that at that resolution the slightly higher spec of the 2 configurations would actually run Far Cry 2 at above medium settings, not far off of max. With the odd framerate dip i'm sure, but pretty well i'd have thought. and TF2 won't be a problem at all.
