'orrible case - but the insides are what counts. Very clean, very nice.

Not to my tastes - however, my girlfriend really likes it and we'll most probably end up with one.

to6ko91 · Jan 2, 2010, 09:44 PM

Looks very clean with colorful components! 7/10

Can't say I've seen many people put the primary card on the lower pci slot, what was the reason for this? to keep heat away from the NB?

The top slot is the slave PCIe port. Thats why I have to use the bottom one.

oqsajec · Jan 4, 2010, 02:28 AM

Simple, clean and to the point........a 5000 series 1GB card, heck yeah! that is an interesting find; the top pci-e slot is the slave? The Spin-Q was my third choice but i hear good things, i really like the V8 though. 7/10

You did right. The V8 is a far better cooler.

Cold Storm · Jan 4, 2010, 10:28 AM

I give you 9/10 for the case my man. It's not EXTREME, so there is no 10 here. But, one hell of nice work you did for it!

Oh yeah, would of been a 8, but the desk lamp gave you an extra "1" point. Lmao.. J/k
