My wife is having hard drive trouble and I have been saving money from doing oncall work (building for two gamers is the suck!!!) for new PC's for us.
I am to the point here where I can afford everything but the new video cards, so here we go. Everything should be here the day after Christmas.
I should have the video card cash mid January, but since the rumor is new cards from nvidia Q1 I'm thinking of holding out for the GTX 780 (or equiv.) so I will stay on the pair of GTX 280's for the time being. Already have the Antec 1200 cases, 750 watt power supplies, spinning disk for backup, blu-ray reader/dvd-rw's, etc. in the systems.
Here's what they're getting for new parts:
