    It looks very nice. I don't know much about fans and cooling equipment but everything else on there looks good. What monitor do you have, I can't see one in there? I probably wouldn't have went with a blu-ray because I'd doubt I'd have much use for it but if you do use it then it's worth it.

    As for the build log, I think I speak for everyone here when I say yes, make the build log. Nothing like a good build log to get the auld geekiness flowing.

    the monitor is the special part y'see... its a 50" HDTV that I got last year, its been begging for something special. can you imagine crysis on that... *drools*. sorry im getting ahead of myself.

    as for the log... cool, I'll be sure to un-break my camera, or steal someone elses when everything comes :)

    Personally I would prefer a monitor over a tv. Much more pixels crammed into a much smaller space make for a much sharper image saying that I'm still fookin' jealous. Just seen your edit. Man that's one pricey case. I hope it was worth it.

    Edit: looking at other posts, im almost scared to mention the cost, but i'd say around the 1500 mark including that whopper of a case (nearly 400 alone) is close enough. my pockets are already burning.

    €400 for a case, are you nuts or just loaded? :D It does look like a nice case tho. Your build seems well balanced price/performance wise apart from that case of course.

    It would want to give blowjobs on demand for that price.

    *check specs of the case*

    Hmm, what do you know it actually does.

    lmao, i wish :rolleyes:

    its a good looking case, completely aluminium with some nice features. im hoping it'll last, at the weight and cost of the fecker, you'd think so. I'm hoping the heat transfer and sound dampening will mean for a relatively cool and quiet pc.

    Oh and as for the blu-ray thing, well I backup so much that DVD's arent big enough to hold it all and I only have so much space - so the option becomes, should i regularly buy cheap hard disks or bluray dvd's. bluray won out.

    * oh, and i edited the original post with links to stuff

    I have to admit, that case really does look the part. It'll probably last you a few builds so it'll kinda justify the price a bit.
