        You can have me Alex,









        Personally Id get something that had more noticable rewards, like a massive comfy chair:p, but your not going to spend £200 on a case. Uneccessary water cooling?

              Yea, i didn't have to spend the entire £200 on a new case, it's just my Antec 900 is actually a vacuum hoover.

              What will the G92 chip have that makes it better than current stuff?

                better fab; lower heat; higher clocks.

                this looks like a nice one, but ack on the expensive side:
                http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...-144-CM&tool=3

                i've got an orginal P180 (extremely quiet, cool and high-quality, but a PITA to work in), and since they've added a mobo tray and tweaked it, it looks much better to work in/live with.

                it's gianormous, though.

                edit: holey cow, i'm an uabashed antec fan, but that case is a thing of beauty:

                  My local compusa is selling the antec 900 for 64 dollars on black friday.Dont know if i really need a new case but for the price its a bargain.

                  Im hoping fry's will have some good deals as well,maybe some 3870's for less than 200 i hope :)

                  and good to see you made it thru the merge mega :)

                        That is full on beautiful.
                        You PC might be quieter than mine with that case Alex! Also it won't light up your room with that eerie blue glow!
