Well, if you want, I'll build it and ship it to you with a value of $50 or something (avoids tax). Or I can order the parts for you here and ship them to you.
I would absolutely love that, but the problem is not how much you write on the box. The problem is that the fucking tax office will hold any box that it is suspicious of and make me come and open it in front of them and show them everything. They've done it twice already with xmas presents that my parents sent (full of clothes for fuck's sake). A friend of mine sent a guitar once, and had to pay almost the FULL value of the guitar in import taxes.
It is almost a better idea for me to fly out and get it. No shit. You around Bud? Vent?

Creative unfortunately has a monopoly on the gaming soundcard front though. If you want all the EAX and special effects you will have to go Creative.
That DDR3 mobo you picked out is a DDR2/DDR3 combo board. First of all DDR3 offers nothing over DDR2 except much more money. Its faster but has super high latency to make up for it. Save your money. If you want to take your motherboard up a notch to the TOP of the line the go for this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813131319
Ok. So I go for the ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard. It has that crazy FXII Creative soundcard built-in. Then can I NOT buy a soundcard, and go for some kind of external pre-amp/amp like one of these:
INFRASONIC DEUX 24-bit 96KHz IEEE 1394a Recording Interface

Lian-Li cases are just too expensive IMO. I try to get the most powerful comp in the smallest case possible now just to make it easier when I go to LANs also.
