Pricier than a Dell, but better quality. -
Decent deal, about the price you'd expect a 1TB drive to be today.
If you don't mind MIR and signing up for eBillMe (which actually doesn't look bad at all), you could get this motherboard for $73:

After many years of building desktops and owning laptops (not cost effective to build, IMO), I am quite conviced that off loading all graphics operations to a separate graphics card is the way to go concerning getting the most out of one's PC. IMO, on board accelerators do not accomplish much.Decent deal, about the price you'd expect a 1TB drive to be today.

I like disk space, but unless I can get a decent priced drive with a very large cache and 7200 rpm, capacity beyond 250 MB does not mean much unless making the machine a device to store movies. IMO, more overall performance can be garnered by off loading all graphics operations to a card if I had the a budget and had to make choices. -

Curious. What do you plan to do with 16 processors? I am working with Argonne National Laboratories and they are scratching to find work with their 256 processor cluster (besides of simulating nuclear explosions). -

+1. Very very few personal / home applications are designed for more than ONE core, let alone more than 2 and up to 16 and beyond. Most of the things normal people do with PCs would never need the parallel power of that many cores.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -

Technically, four quad core processors.
It's running Xen. I have any number of VPS chunks running on it doing things at my data center. -

Microcenter has processors WAY cheaper than anybody else. I dunno how they do it but they do. I bought a Q9550 for 169.99 + tax. B & M only

did not hear good things about W7 at office who have bought it, though not sure what are the issues they were having.For me maybe ... for family & friends I'm kind of waiting for everything to ship w/ Windows 7 unless they are dying for something now. -
With 2 hdmi ports and capable specs the $300 acer at woot might make an ok HTPC.

No, I have Swiftech H20-120, but I placed an order for that kit. I will keep you posted on the results vs the H20.

Any idea which one should be better?

This new one is a triple cooler with CPU, GPU and NB while the N20-120 is only running CPU. I could get additional blocks for it but the new triple has a MASSIVE radiator so by all logic it should do a much better job.
3 x 120mm radiator vs 1 x 120mm radiator. You will need a full tower case for this. I have CM Sniper so it should not be a problem but lets see. -
I wonder if it would fit in my Antec Twlve Hundred...
