So I ordered a new Alienware Area-51, will be here sometime next week or so.
The specs
Cosmic Black, Alienware Area-51 Chassis
Intel® Core™ i7 990x Extreme Six Core Processor (3.46GHz, 12MB Cache)
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit
12GB DDR3 1333MHz (3x 4GB) Tri Channel Memory
Dual 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460
1TB - SATA-II, 3Gb/s, 7,200RPM, 32MB Cache HDD
How would you guys think this system will run Fsx, which all my addons?
I think it'll be pretty damn sweet.
I also have out for delivery a ASUS Full HD 24 inch monitor, and TrackIR 5. The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

What about your power supply?
Anything under 800w will bottleneck the system.
All I need now is to water-cool the system... its nearly perfect!! Rodney J.

I think you should ship it to me for testing purposes. I'll give it a really good and thorough testing AND I'll break it in for six weeks for FREE!
What a deal, huh?

I just did a tally....
$4509.76. 
I did not include the Network storage drive, the 1 TB laptop drive or the other 1TB External HDD.....
... and I still need a watercooling system! Rodney J.

Still need a water cooling system? Mine came with one already installed. The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

Built a system on Newegg with Windows 7 Pro and a more powerful PSU for $2424.92. That's before shipping. Plenty of room to play with SSDs, more powerful GPUs, watercooling, etc. |

I can use the Thermaltake Big Water 760is that I already have, but I am looking for a much solid performer. So I am looking at the EK watercooling systems. I am looking to cover the entire system, minus the RAM. So that would be the CPU, Northbridge, Southbridge, and all three video cards.  Rodney J.
