No one is saying go replace your monitor with a new iMac (since this is the only screen with this technology), I am saying don't go Ewww like you did when you read "glossy screen".  This iMac's screen is not the same as the others you have seen so far in your life.

 
Its not as bad I'll admit, but its still glossy, I like matte screens, and prefer anti-glare ones. Not sure what technology are you talking about.
 
Personally I find the iMac overpriced for the feature set, but thats my opinion. The display alone shouldn't cost as much, its ~$700 (or less), so charging $2500 for the hardware is bit extreme IMO.
Still, I liked the iMac screen and bought a 27" monitor from Dell. The resolution is awesome, tons of space, and the IPS panel really shines when it comes to color reproduction. Its factory calibrated. Using it with another 21.5" 1080p screen.

No, we're drifting way off topic anyways.

The 27" UltraSharp from Dell costs $850.
The 27" Cinema Display costs $1000.

The Mac Cinema display includes a camera, Thunderbolt and pre-calibrated, easily covering that gap in pricing. They're easily the same quality. There shouldn't be any discussion about this.


Anyways, I have incoming

i5-3570K
Phanteks PH-TC14PE
120GB Intel 520
AsRock Z77 Extreme4
ASUS GTX 670

to fit inside my Fractal R3. It's going to be a black and white rig, hopefully. Need to find white SATA cables XD

I just sold a pair of GTX580's and bought a GTX680. I was trying to hold out for the 780, but really needed a displayport. I'll move back to SLI when the 780's come out. I was also kind of hoping that it'd come out during the step up period I get through EVGA, but I doubt it will.

Nevermind, ignore this quote. Any delete buttons -.-, can't seem to find one?

I got mine for $650 from Dell during their Christmas deals, pre calibrated. 
And yes, I'll end the digression here.

From what I've heard, I wouldn't touch an LC-Power PSU with a barge pole.

Just upgraded from my super old original Thermaltake Armor(with original window side panel minus fan) to the Corsair 600T.  Threw some arctic silver 5 on the cpu finally, got the fan in a push config(instead of pull) and temps dropped 3-5C idle.  After start up the cpu was 30C but now with foobar2000, firefox and a couple other programs running it keeps going between 32-33C.  The biggest deal about this is my case no longer has 2 88cfm 40db 120mm fans running, making music SOOO much more enjoyable to listen to now!
 
It's an old rig so the specs aren't the latest and greatest, but it still runs just fine for me.
 
Intel C2D Wolfdale E8400 3.0GHz
Mushkin 4x1gb DDR2 800
DFI Lanparty DK X38 T2R
EVGA GTX 460 SE
Thermaltake 680W PSU
WD Caviar 640GB Black Edition w/ 32mb cache
WD Caviar 1TB 5400rpm Green Drive(storage/backup)
Some NEC CD/DVD burner drive(I forget)
Samsung SyncMaster 940B 19" LCD screen
Logitech G500 mouse
Func 1030 classic surface mouse pad
Logitech G510 Keyboard
 
Note: some of this hardware(PSU, DVD burner, LCD) are from the original build which was over 5 years ago, and still work great, so they have not been replaced.  Though I'd like to get a modular PSU when I get the chance.

 

[Blisse]

My new (re)build is finally complete.

Intel 520 Series 120GB
Intel i5-3570K
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
ASUS GTX670
Phanteks PH-TC14PE
Fractal Design R3

Going for minimal noise and thermals, also white and black theme.

That's a freakishly high overclock, what does your cooling setup look like?

 

[PiccoloNamek]

Like this:

Never comes close to overheating; always runs within spec. Ignore the GTX 295, the photo is rather old.

Basically, it is a huge Thermalright heatsink with copper block and multiple heat pipes. With two fans attached, it's nearly as good as a water cooler for mid-high end overclocks.

Lol a bit old school here but still running strong and see no reason to upgrade, it can eat up and chew every game I throw at it:
 
i7 930 @ 3.99ghz Cooled by a prolimotech megahalems with 2x 120MM push pull config
12gb Corsair DDR3 1600 memory
