Here's what I've thrown together. I'd really appreciate for the more experienced to look it over for oversights on my part.

• Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

• LITE-ON CD/DVD Burner(Slot-load) SATA Model DC-8A2SH - OEM

• Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500418AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

• ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 AM3 AMD 890GX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

• ASUS EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5/V2 Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

• OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

(I don't think I made any mistakes, but I had to manually copy the descriptions and links so if you notice mistakes point them out...)

The "Grand Total" (presumably before tax, shipping, and perhaps after rebates) is $1,149.92.

Append: The shipping estimate for my postal code brings the total to $1,333.07.

Append: Per TF's (and most other people's) advice:

• Arctic Silver AS5-3.5G

With the new addition, shipping, and tax, it comes to $1,340.97.

Append: Cooling was neglected so here is a heatsink/fan combo.

• ZALMAN CNPS9900ALED 120mm 2 Ball Low-noise Blue LED CPU Cooler

This pushes the total (including tax and shipping) to $1,411.57.

Much more reasonable, and a very awesome rig. Good job.

Make sure your motherboard's Hybrid Graphics and the HD 6850 are compatible, otherwise I'd opt to go without onboard video.

I have submitted the order.

Yea bam, that's a lot better. You probably don't even need that much, but it's a lot better than $3100 so I won't complain.

Ah, camaaahn.... you know the feeling.

Find a way to make this happen.

I just spent $900 on a washer and dryer.

Don't tell bambam.

I'd spend a decent amount of money on a washing machine, since it pays off to get a good one especially if it's water and/or energy efficient.
I still can't think of a dryer as anything other than a great big waste of money though, both up front and in terms of use. After all, you can dry your cloths for free easily enough...

Where'd you think I've been living for the past few years?
Works even better because the air is so dry.
You don't put it outside, obviously, but back home I wouldn't do that so much either because of rain (although you can work around that with a sheet of plastic, but in winter I usually hung it all in doors anyway).

Does it matter?

If it's CAD it's almost 1.5k USD.. (1.47X I'd estimate)

That's debatable. I'm somebody that doesn't enjoy taking the time to do housework. I do it the bare minimum basically. I hated hanging clothes up to dry when I was living at home. Seriously, who has the time or energy to do it? I wash an average of 3 loads of laundry every week and even in the country with a rather large clothes line it could only fit about 2. It would also take between 2 hours and all day for the load to dry, depending on the weather. It's just far too much hassle, IMHO. I prefer to just dry them. I only wish they wouldn't shrink. Seriously, it's 2011, when is somebody going to discover affordable and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes for comfortable/attractive clothes that don't shrink when machine washed and dried?

PayPal says I was charged $1,412.02 CAD. I can't account for the minor difference, but maybe the actual shipping costs didn't exactly match the estimates or something... Or maybe the original was USD and I paid CAD. I'm not sure, but it's negligible either way... The Web site did mention a possibility for additional charges from local retailers if newegg.ca decides to go through them. It's possible (probable?) I'll be met with a few more charges upon delivery. I'll be sure to update this thread (or start a new one when the system arrives).

Indeed. I rather like CAD being nearly equivalent to USD, albeit I would have preferred we caught up to them instead of the opposite.

Look at the details, see if paypal was the one that did the currency conversion, if so, you just got screwed.
