One of my New Year's resolutions is an upgrade to my Windoze (gaming) platform.

I'm waiting for the new Radion HD 7000's to hit retail, as well as the new AMD chips. Then probably going the route Steve did with the OCZ solid-state drives for OS and apps to replace my HDD's. I'd go Fusion-io but they are priced too high for my wallet. My case is a ten-year old server tower that currently holds eight internal Western Digital 500GB SATA drives and has five front-loaded bays for CD/DVD etc. Both OS and apps are running RAID5 with the OS RAID on the motherboard and the apps RAID powered by an Adaptec 2405Q Storage Controller. I'll prolly pick up another Adaptec controller and move the OS drives off the MB when I buy my SSD's.

Power supply is a Thermaltake TP-1350M in the cable-management series.

Screens are two Samsung Syncmaster 23".

New Mobo is still in research stage, but it will definitely be AMD-based and probably another ASUS. It's amazing what can be had for under $250 right now.

Also considering an iMac upgrade to the new 27" model, which is incredible.
