Looks pretty good. May I suggest the Tempest or Lexa S case? Both by NZXT.

I own a Tempest TilDeath machine and my last build was in a Tempest, but the side I/O sold this build. As to the Lexa, he liked the looks of this one better. It's not an uber gamer, so should have plenty of air flow.

Keeping the cabling neat in that box is going to be a challenge.

Rgr, I just think the Guardian is a little smurfy :)

I was thinking the same thing. Already got the power tools out.

It's more than a little smurfy, but it won't be sitting on my desk, so I won't have to look at it. :neener:

At least your not biased. :lol
The real question is, will it look better than my Compusaurus?

Looks like someone needs to upgrade! :)

And it is now going to look good sitting on my customers desk since the other case is not available till next week....maybe. So I changed it to your case just to keep Spikes happy. :neener:

I have that affect on people...conspiracy against the M59, the Lexa S's arch rival. :)
In seriousness, though, I have a blast with this case...very roomy IMO.

The Spikes effect, aka: bouncy.

dragon, for 200 more, i got a I7-2.66mhz, 6gigs of ram, 1TB harddrive, full case, aftermarket cpu cooler, with all the extra's at Newegg. you might want to price it out with them just for fun.

Too late, parts were here already. I did check Newegg, but I have a corporate account with Tiger so I do get a break off of the posted prices.
Unfortunatly, a few min ago I went to turn it on for the first time and the switch on the power supply sparked and failed. Sunofabiatch. :furious
Now I have to tear it all back apart. :mad: :mad:
