    Well, looks like my 1 kW power supply is an overkill after all.

    Love the case.

    Been playing Metro on Very High settings and I am lucky to get a steady 30 FPS. This game kills PC's. I definitely need another graphics card for this game alone if I am to play smoothly or I need to reduce the game's eye candy.

    By the time LL is out the GTX670 should be a lot cheaper, so the GPU I have will do for now.

    Really? I've got Core i7 960, 6 Gb RAM, GF GTX 580 1.5 Gb and it runs above 100 most of the time.

    Scratch that, DX11, Very High, AAA and AF 4x do ~100 fps. DX11, Very High, MSAA 4x and AA 16x do ~50. Checked with fraps in Prologue.

    My mistake.

    What are you building? Have you got some pics? From my build the best buy was the case which I got from Ebay for £50. Corsair make good solid cases and their customer support is excellent.

    In this case the hard drive arrangement looks so neat.

    It makes my 400R look pretty shabby, too bad, I should I have picked this one up. It was even suggested to me! :|

    I agree. You can have 2 hard drive caddys and place them near the fan intake. But I removed one and installed the other next to the PSU to get maximum air flow.

    The thing I didn't like was the fan controller and stock fans but I've changed them recently and I am very happy. This is what I installed and I made a simple switch to make changing the LED colours easy instead of opening the case and changing jumpers to do it. I still need to mount the switch properly hence why in the pic it is dangling.
