Love these cases.. the cooler is freaking MASSIVE, but it is pretty quiet compared to the first POS I had.

Very nice! I've been buying the Antec Sonata series since they were quiet, but that case looks pretty sweet and isn't really that different in price.

I've got a very similar system to yours, although my HD6950 isn't helping win any benchmarks. I should probably look at upgrading that this year to one of the new 270Xs (which are in my price range). I freaking love having an SSD as my main drive. It's like crack for a techie. Can't believe I waited so long for one.

yeah lol! SSD is the shit for sure! This thing rolls along nicely! I have another newish comp at the office.. core i5 ivy.. same dual gfx cards and the same case. ASROCK mobo. Been fairly lucky with them so far. I finally managed to purchase a borked CPU. Had one in this machine and it would BSOD on me every so often. Tested everything I could. It was failing like bad RAM, but I went through testing and swapping out. Finally I am like screw it.. mem controller is on the CPU, that has to be it. I mean I changed everything else.. psu, mobo, ram, vid cards, hdd.. it was the only thing left! Sure enough.. changed out CPU and the thing has run fine since.
