All parts were purchase from Newegg.com. I've always had good service from them. They have an excellent return policy, which is a must for purchasing computer parts.
This is my first dual-boxing rig...although it's not the latest and greatest, it's a beast coming from a 3 year old box running 2.2GHz cpu, 2gb memory and a 256MB Geforce AGP video card.
Performance seems very good so far. I've been able to run 2 instances of WoW at 1400x900 on maxed out settings with no problems at all. It's definately overclockable and has plenty of room for maybe an SLI setup, but I don't think that's necessary for what I'm doing here.
I did consider going with a quad-core setup, but for the price and performance ratio at the time, I didn't think it was worth it.
