That's neat.

Same pricing as the 975, but quite a bit faster.
This adds a 3rd upgrade option, which I'll be tempted to do over the summer...
a) i7 980x
b) 2x X25-M SSD's in Raid0
c) 2nd 30" widescreen monitor
Probably one, possibly two of the above, unlikely to be all three, unless the sales are very good over the summer.

That's not overkill lol.

I'm getting one as soon as I can find a seller. I have somebody locked up to buy my 975EE for a huge discount too!
