OMG was on ebuyer looking at cases and came across this one with an integrated 7" LCD on the front panel, check this review......... LMFA what a muppet :roll:

Black Aluminium Mid Tower Case with Integrated 7&q...

When I first purchased this case it looked brilliant because it had a built in monitor which to me made perfect sense as it would mean that a lot of my money could be saved by not having to purchase an external monitor. I work a lot with Photoshop and I soon noticed that it was necessary for me to squint to see what I was working on with this tiny screen, eventually the only way around this problem was to view the monitor under a magnifying glass which made using the mouse near on impossible, and using Photoshop has just become a total nightmare!
In all, this is a great case but I would recommend that anyone else thinking about buying this case to seriously consider buying an extra monitor so that you donât have to rely on the tiny monitor provided.

What upgrades are you planning on buying and do you really need a whole new rig?

new graphics card, cpu, and motherboard, prob new RAM

Fourstaff said:
If you need them (or thinking of upgrading) before Febuary, I think its better off buying now, whereas if you wait, the 2.5% rise will be counteracted by the fall in prices.

good point

NdMk2o1o said:
I wouldn't do it based on the VAT rise, you will save 2.5p in the pound if you buy now, hardly significant.

not really much you know how companies always round up to the nearest 10p

Hence why i would like to buy my car insurance soon before VAT rise lols.
Well i can't wait for next week,specially monday when my SSD arrives

and hopefully car insurance,christmas is coming my way maybe early.

I'm getting two SSDs too on Tuesday, here they are:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-060-OC&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=1427

They have good capacity and great performance and from what I heard having these two babies in RAID 0 with AHCI should give some results of 500MB for read and write on CrystalDiskMark. I guess this might be the final upgrade for my current system.... might.

D'OH!

Why not do what I've done and see how high you can increase your PCIe bus.

I got mine to 110MHz so far, so good.

NdMk2o1o · Dec 4, 2010

Boys, need some advice.

Let say you had the chance to get an Antec 1200w PSU for £35 on top of selling your SS DA750, would you?

If you will ever need the 1200w PSU for Tri-SLI GTX580, then possibly. But if you are not going for some insane builds, I think 750w is plenty for 2 graphics card and an overclocked CPU (despite what others may say).

Hopefully my 1000D will come tomorrow via DPD.

FreedomEclipse · Dec 6, 2010

planning to upgrade the fans on my Antec 902 with these ones http://www.thecoolingshop.com/produ...FLow-120mm-Blue-LED-Quiet-Case-Fan_34913.html soon with a Zalman ZM MFC1 Combo fan controller to keep the RPM down - I might change the big 200mm fan at the top but i dunno - many people have reported issues with 200mm fans from other brands/manufacturers whose holes dont line up with the case so theres no way to install it.

MoonPig · Dec 6, 2010

Post #39 in the 3DMark Giveaway thread... I think i have a good chance.

Fourstaff · Dec 6, 2010

Not bothered with 3DMark giveaway, since that I think there are plenty of others in this forum who deserves that more than I do (given that I don't bench)
