This rig sounds amazing. And I'm actually looking to purchase a new workstation for home, so let me know how that corei7 is. I need all the procs I can get, and the new i7 is definitely worth upgrading to.

The Core i7 920 (2.66GHz) is easily overclockable to 4.0GHz. That thing is screaming fast. I can't imagine what that Extreme is Overclockable to... probably 4.5-5GHz

That's it. The Codemaster's game. It looks to be incredible.

They are promising regular updates, new tracks, vintage racers and cars, etc.

It will be on PC and all major consoles.

But I find driving games to be best on PC. Plus I have a nice wheel and pedal setup.

I will be running 2 in SLI. Should be a screamer.

I hope the SSD lives up to its billing. It was the only part that I felt I "overpaid" for.

I have an SSD (64GB). Best investment ever... computers are so fast, the HDD is the only real bottleneck.

That's great to hear!

It was the one item that I felt I "splurged" on with the system.

I am expecting it to be great.

Can you imagine if it's online multiplayer. A full grid of Teamspeeder's battling though an entire season......awesome.

One of the things I read about it was they are promising dynamic weather conditions. So as you race it could start off as a beuatiful day, but slowly the weather can change to full on rain. The track then could start to dry out and they said that dry lines would form where the majority of cars were running.
