The Prelude doesn't offer any OC options when your configuring the system and the F131 does... however the F131 seems to be more of a SLI machine and I opted to go with only 1 video card. Trying to keep it under 4k.
I don't like Creative's bloatware on their cards and in terms of pure sound quality, they dont stack up as well. So going for intergrated sound but will add the HT Omega Claro myself since it uses C-Media's Oxygen HD CMI8788 audio processor.
My current PC is pushing it and so decided not to wait for Vista SP1.
Also with 3 HDs and 2 of em at 10k RPM, will they be too hot?
