I see no "price"?   He posted a system, no different than "piecing" a system via Newegg on here, with prices.

How does it handle with self and smooth shadow ON?  Inquiring minds want to know.  I run mine (both of them) with them enabled and have no issues, 59-60

I was testing mine a bit last night. I set details to about 1.5 miles out and was pegged at 60 fps, my refresh rate. System is an e8500 Oc'd to 3.5 with an ATI 3850 oc'd. As soon as I have time I'm installing Ray Adam's Tray tools, and switching cases for better cable management, cooling, and access.

BTW, received my Tempest case from TD in 3 days, was shipped on Tuesday and arrived on Friday morning, all intact hehe and with a bit better shipping cost. Always enjoy working with a fellow AH'er.(Sorry TD, couldn't resist, btw ever get those resolved)

If I had to guess it should do self-shadowing fine. I use an 8800GT that delivers steady 59 - 60fr with all settings maxed, a 9800GTX should have no issue.

They, NZXT are making me my own Rebate form.  It is taking a few days longer, as soon as I have it I will email you one and post it on the site for customers to use.

Looks great TilDeath. One question on the pictures. Do you now have a photo studio or are you photoshopping the images to generate the white background?

I do both.  When I can steal MY camera from the kids I have a white background I use but also do some photoshop for some shots.

If you look close, you'll actually notice that it isn't white through the air vents and such. :aok
