but an observation

nice case choice

there is just so much room inside its disturbing

What do you mean take a dremel to it?

 

[disturbed13]

like change the design
or add airflow
ect
to mod it

 

[Pancake92]

Nahhh. The case is just fine the way it is. I have heard amazing reviews on the airflow and temps being just fine, so I don't see any need to modify it in any way, shape, or form.

If you're making such a beast PC, why you skipping out on the graphics card?
You're already spending $2000, just add an extra $200 FOR THIS!!

The thing is, I want to run SLI and I am trying to keep it under 3k because I also had to add the bluray drive, and an extra cd/dvd drive. Also, I am getting a few games too after this is built.

 

[shozzking]

you would be better off getting one really good graphics card and then getting a second one at a later time. if you SLI now then you wont be able to upgrade it later without getting rid of both of your graphics cards.

what are you going to use it for? you wont need more than 6GB of RAM for gaming. you could take the money and put it towards a better graphics card. Do you have a link for your RAM?
