Hehe, the real fun will begin in the October. I'm waiting for the release of the Nehalem processors, can't see any point upgrading to the existing 45nm processors at the moment as Nehalem will change the way memory is handled (on CPU with QPI rather than on motherboard using FSB) and it will be on the new LGA1366 socket.
My only temptation at the moment is replacing drives with Solid State Drives but will probably do that with the new system next year and the drives will be a little cheaper. I'll be salivating to see what a Nehalem system with 4 SSD in RAID10 will run like and there is also news on the horizon about quad channel ram being used for Nehalem but the rumor is its going to be for the Xeon server boards who knows i'll keep my fingers crossed they dont just release it for servers. As Roasty and narud will tell you i'm a gadget freak with too much money! at the moment I have run out of new gadgets to buy! I haven't even calibrated my OCZ NIA as yet. Even though I got Vista Ultimate 32bit I almost always use 64bit due to the 8Gb ram and they haven't released the 64 bit drivers for it yet, but when they do it's thought controlled WAR!!! edit! I just read that the ASUS P6T X58 Chipset for Nehalem will have 6 RAM slots supporting DDR3 Triple Channel and the raid will be using SAS!

I GOT THE REST OF MY COMPUTER TODAY WOOT
Now I have to wait for my friend's Artic Silver thermal compound for my processor. Shame that Nehalem processors are coming out soon though but at least I got a suitable upgrade for WAR :]
