1) I feel bad for you to have those pretty parts and no case....
2) what's up with the RAM? lol
3) please tell me you didn't pay 600$ for the video card when it's regularly on sale for ~$250-$300 on NCIX

Pretty parts lol I would drool on them(which would probably ruin them lol)

yup. it sucks the big one. But i should be picking up rockband for my ps3 this weekend so that should keep me occupied until it arrives.

The ram well. i originally had the 2gb kit and then i sawa good deal on a 4 gb kit and well i am not one to waste 2GB of ram. so maybe once 4GB kits of ddr3 come to a more reasonable price i get 2 of those for 8 :).

And no i did not pay $600 for the 9800gx2. paid the 299 price. i will never pay that much money fro a video card again. (i did do it before though, first it was a 7900 GTX then an X1900 XT)

Default Update

well i can now say that i am posting this from my new rig. I couldn't wait any longer so i went out to a local shop and picked up an antec 300 case. Quite the nice little performed for under 70 bucks. I took pictures of the build and i will post them later as it's almost 2 am here. Until later. Ciao.

As Promised here are the pics of the build in no particular order :)






















Also for fun i ran the HL2 Lost Coast demo (i am too lazy to dig out my fear disks) and i got a pretty decent score.

Ran at everything maxed out that i could.

1680x1050
6x AA
Ansitropic 16x
Full HDR
Etc...

Averaged around 120.5 FPS




ok so i lied i just tried the original fear with everything maxed to the hilt.

Min - 57
Avg - 73
Max - 87
