Me? I Am buying it from one of the stores on Trademe.co.nz (A Ebay type site in NZ), I was going to build it myself but the cost of parts and aggravation of building and getting it set up vs buying already built and tested was only about $200 so I figure it's worth it.

O.K so since OP I have been researching and came up with a couple of changes and your opinions would be welcome.....

- Transcend 4GB DDRII 800MHz Dual-Channel Memory

- Asus P5K-E WiFi Intel P35/ICH9 Chipset Motherboard
**Was going to get this mobo but after reading the Asus forums am not so sure, anyway still want to get either an Asus or Gigabyte board so recommend away**

**XFX nVIDIA GeForce 8800GT 512mb (Alpha dog edition)Graphics Adaptor** changed from 8800gts 640mb

- Western Digital 500GB 16MB Cache SATA2 Hard Disk Drive

- LiteOn 20x SATA Dual Layer DVDRW Drive

if this is the same mobo as the asus p5k deluxe wifi one, it is apparently awesome.

I'd drop the DVD drive for a combo blueray/HD DVD DVDRW combo-drive. LG has one for about 250-300 bucks. Other than that ...looks smoking!

Definetly.

Only problem is a little hard to get ahold of at the moment.

I would drop the SATA and get a Pioneer PATA drive. You can get them for 30$ on newegg and they work great.

not a big fan of LG stuff, I got a Lightscribe drive from them and it sucked and I had to send it back.
