$92.99 (-$30 MIR)

YOUR TOTAL $865.14 + 12% tax = $968.96 -$30 MIR = $936.96

I'm still trying to get the price down a bit: ideally <800 before tax. The case seems like the easiest place to cut down right now. I'm trying to find a case that's quiet, looks classy, and built well. Of course if you think there are better alternatives to any part at better prices, suggestions are wide open!

Also, I'm concerned that the HSF will block the RAM slots on the mobo. Anyone have experience with AM3 mobos and large tower heatsinks?
