intake or exhaust?

intake or exhaust?

Front = Intake would be what you'd want.    You'd also get rid of the small HDD cage.   IIRC there is even mounting holes for a fan there.

actual cost for me is probably around 1000, since I sold my old gateway computer when i first upgraded to an e8400 based system.  then I sold that cpu/mobo/ram to upgrade to the new 2500k based system.  I also sold my old vc which lowered the price for my current vc to 200.  most of the stuff i got was bought on sale with  little or no shipping.

current system will play with everything maxed out shadows at 2400 can do 4800 but i see no point since I dont see the difference.  fps will go down to 55 every now and then, but that's mostly because I also have fraps recording  .

Nice looking setup Semp but wait till you get the 2nd vid card and 3rd monitor, then you won't want to go back to the single monitor.

[guncrasher]

modular PSU?

yes, with flat cables.  you can see them clearly on the vc.  only the 8 and 24 pin are round.  ps is quiet cant hear it.  then again, my other fans are old  and they make a lot of noise. thinking of replacing them. but not sure if it's worthy since i mostly use my headset to play the game.
