Good evening, folks!
 
I've got a new build coming up very shortly.......... I just ordered quite a few of the parts, and I plan to get the last couple at the end of the month.  Couldn't pass up a couple deals on ram and a motherboard. It's going to have a theme, but I'd rather not give that away quite yet. The hardware will consist of a new motherboard, cpu, ram, and case. 
 
I'll be reusing some stuff, of course:
 
Two Intel X-25 M ssds, one 80gb, the other 120gb.
WD Caviar Black 1tb HDD
WD Caviar Blue 500gb HDD
Corsair AX1200 Power supply
Zalman Fan Controller
Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatality edition
LG BD-Rom
and of course:
Two EVGA GTX 680 2gb Vanilla cards.
 
I debated heavily whether to go z77 or x79. Many of you in the general hardware/ 600 series forums offered great thoughts and opinions that helped me make my decision, along with a few weeks of serious review-reading.  So, thanks to everyone here. 
 
I wont reveal the new hardware yet, photos to come upon arrival Thurs/ Fri. I don't like to consider it mine until it has arrived!  Plus, it's way more fun with pictures! I've never done a build log, so I'm excited to chronicle this most recent excellent adventure in hardware. 
 
Talk to you guys shortly!
 
I'm back, and UPS recently dropped by! I have a few things to reveal!
 
First off, the foundation for my new rig, the NZXT Switch 810!
 

 
 
A gigantic box! Definitely got banged up in transit....... hope it's okay inside!
 
The back:

  But wait! there's more!

Time for a family picture:
 

 
 
 
Aww, but wait..........!! You're missing.......... A BRAIN!!!
 
That's coming next week :P
 
Looking forward to building! Thanks for looking !
 

I haven't been to the casino yet, no. Instead of gambling money away, I'm investing in a new rig :) Where are you in Ohio? I've lived here all my life and I love it. 

I live in Ohio. That's why I spend all my cash on PC parts. Not much else to do.
 
Casinos have enough money, they don't need mine.

Need pics, and yes I know your waiting on parts. Hope they get there soon.

Cant wait to see some specs and pics.

picsssssssssssssssssssssssss... looking forward to the build...

I'm in canon Ohio what about the rest of you Ohioans? I'm actually happy to to know one EVGA member personally (well as long as it took to sell my 570 to him). And I've lived here all my life as well and can't stand it :P to each their own I guess :P
 
Also...come on with the pics already, your killing me!

What's up folks? Added pics of the first arrival of hardware to the OP! Check it out! Chrome-M-Dragon: I do traffic reports in Canton for WHLO and a few other akron stations.

just called microcenter, the'yve got an i7 3820 on hold for me to pick up tomorrow.

Thanks , Steve. Yeah, a couple 680s should do pretty well here. They were awesome on my x58 setup, expecting even more out of them on x79.  

tick...tock....tick......tock...... my second shift is CRAWLING today!  must build!

hoserx
