The final build specs:
Case: Thermaltake Spedo Full tower
PSU: NZXT 800 watt quad SLI ready
MB: Asus P6T Intel X58 chipset 3 way SLI or Crossfire support
CPU: Intel i7-940 2.93 GHz (which is suppose to over-clock pretty well)
Cooling: Asetek Liquid CPU cooling system
Memory: 6GB DDR3/1600Mhz Corsair
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX285 1GB Video Card
Hard drive: 1 terabyte SATA II/ 7200rpm (Hitachi)
Optical drives 2 LG 20X double layer DVD+-R/RW--one with lightscribe
Thermal Display: NZXT color LCD thermal control panel
12 in 1 external card reader
OS: Windows Vista home Premium 64 bit with 60day trial of Windows office
Plus I got two free games--Farcry 2 and Halo 2

They also included a standard no-frills Logitech keyboard and mouse, which they value at $8.

Prior to changing out the GPU in my build, I ran a total of the cost of all the parts at NewEgg. At that time it would have cost me just over $200 more just to buy the parts, and I would have still had to put the thing together plus hope that it worked. Additionally, I would only have warranties on the various components from a dozen companies. With Cyberpower, I have a 3 year parts and labor warranty on the whole unit---plus free lifetime phone support.

Of course the home builder can sometime save money by recycling non-obsolete parts from previous builds, but for all new parts in my case, Cyberpower just came out cheaper than building it myself.
