Still looking good! Even though I liked my I7 920, I wanted a sandy bridge setup badly. It does out perform my I7 and I am glad I made the switch

What Dominator GT sticks are those? I had 6GB 1866MHz CL7 with elpida hyper chips and those really are the best you can get for LGA1366 setup.
e: nevermind, got your specs now. Good choice man!

Are the 6GB 2000mhz C8 part of this "best for lga1366"? I just bought them cause I wanted the room for overclock. Currently they are running at 1600mhz 8-8-7-24-2T, couldnt get them stable past this. (the stated spec on the sticker is 2000mhz 8-9-8-24-2T). But anyway i'm getting 18.5-19 GB/sec of bandwith when I use the MaxxMem2 test

I don't think there is much difference between the CL8 and CL7 sticks. I know for fact they can be hard to get running at the specs speeds at first. You need to set 1.65V for DRAM and up the QPI voltage a lot. Mine needed >1.25V at 1866MHz. Also use the XMP profile to set the latencies.

Just finished modding my Z-2300's today, still a bit more i want to do to them but it will have to wait for another payday 
basically changed out the stock wires for fully shielded Japanese canare wire, cut out the fake "tweeter" in the top of the satellites and changed out the ends for gold & nickle plated ones. overall it does sound a bit better im thinking mostly because of the added port on the speakers

I miss my Z-2300's. Treasure and take care of them, Logitech stopped making them. Mine went out right when they finally ran out, and I got Z623s as a replacement. They sound like a pile of ass compared to the 2300's :'(

Isn't the Z68X-UD4-B3 an ATX motherboard?
Regardless, that case is huge, and sexy as hell.

That poor little board looks all isolated in that HUGE case
...that said, I would love to see an ITX board in there...
