I went thru CyberPower PC again, so here ya go.
X-Dreamer mid-tower case(same one I had before with extra case cooling fans)
Asus M2N SLI Nvidia nforce 560 motherboard
Amd Phenom X4 9550 Quad Core processor
160 Gb hard drive(it will be for gaming only so I don't need a terabyte of storage).
750 watt Ultra Lifetime Pro power supply
2 Gb PC8500 DDR2/1066 Corsair Dominator memory chips
Round cable upgrades and professional wiring thru out the chassis again.
20X DVD+/-R/+/-RW + CD-R/RW Dual Layer 1st drive
16X DVD rom 2nd drive
Nvidia Geoforce 9600 GT 512mb SLI vid cards X2
7.1 onboard sound(I opted for this again because of some of the problems with sound cards).
Microsoft XP Home OS(didn't care for Vista yet till they get all the bugs worked out).
No fancy water cooling or super cooler because I wont be overclocking anything and if I do I will just change that when and if I do overclock anything.
I figure this setup will last me another three or four years and by then some super new stuff will be out and I will have do it all over again.
Not bad for $984.00 which includes regular build time and regular shipping.
I don't have no figures yet because I don't have it yet. But anyone who knows these parts should have a pretty good idea what it should do. I also figure it wont be the fastest puter on the server but it will be alot better than what I have been playing on.
Also, the wife is getting the old one. I doubt she will be playing 2142 but she can use it for her homework and such and what little bit she will be using it she will probably get another three or four years out of it.

Yes I did Pasha. I first thought of fixing up my old puter so I ordered a 9600 from TigerDirect(plus they were on sale) but then the wife told me just get a new puter so I ordered it with one 9600 and I will just install the second one and run it in SLI. The 9800's are a whole bunch more money and figure the 9600's will be a big improvement over my dual 6800's I have now.
