It's all good, there are times you need seperate threads for questions on unrelated topics, we were just trying to point you in the right direction buddy.

Don't freak out and not post a new thread in the future if you realy need to!

You didn't list your CPU BTW...

Are you going to OC and benchmark it?

If so I suggest you do a baseline test at stock settings using:

Super Pi (1MB test)
3DMARK 06
PCMARK 05

Then try them again after you Overclock it

Jealously rages within
Nice specs, especally the Ultra, but a couple GT's in SLI will blow it out of the water for about the same price, maybe lower.
Good luck with it

Would be cool to extend the armor flaps with acrylic so it actually closes at the front.

Edit. Could still be open a bit, and the top and bottom would be letting air through. Alternatively, the acrylic could just barely extend and be lit up. Looks like a good system. Good luck.

Thanks for the idea bro, but actually I really like the frontal desing of the case and don´t want to disrupt the air flow, actually Im now looking for a way to put another 120mm fan on the front.


Cheers.

o and by the way im running vista ultimate 32.
