Great PArts, but you are scaring the crap outta me with that 620w psu Woah i thought you would need way more power that that. or am i just power hungry ??? Nice STUFFFFF! 9/10.
620 Watts is just fine for that set-up. Power Supply Manufacturers just want to try and make it seem like we need these high wattage power supplies when we really don't. Even with a good OC on the CPU and Video Cards the system should only at peak draw around 500 Watts.
Here's one of the better PSU calculators online.

You'd be surprised by what the actual power draw of some high end systems really is.

I love these cases as they allow for great cable management and I like to put the big heavy PSU at the bottom. Yours looks great with the all black scheme. I'm kinda with ThermalTake-FTW!, I thought that would be a bit much for a Corsair 620w. NVidia only recommends it for SLI'd 7900GTX's or lower. Very nice PC though!
Wow.... Nice Rig.... 9/10 for me... BTW.... Can u pun 2 SLI Bridge on your GTX...? Will it run SLI? Just want to know!
very nice from what I see, Only I cant see to much, can you post some better pics.
9/10 i Love it great specs and nice built see and vote in my case ;) http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/1034.html
bye ;)

Ya nice hardware, and I gave a good score, but how can anyone see anything with the dark pictures that hide most of the computer, witch means the score is only based on the hardware, I would rather show all and get and honest score based on nice sharp picture that show the whole pc. not dark ones with killer hardware. and I think I'm being fair about this.I'm not trying to cut anyone down.and this isn't only for this post it for everyone who shows off there mod here at techPowerUp!
by: deekortiz3;5021602x8800 GTXs is pushing your 620 Watts PSU to it max more strain,if the PSU hasnt got 4x pci-e power plugs i wouldnt trust the rails just pluging it in to a HDD power, i wouldnt put any think else in there looks way to cramped.

by: steelkane;502234Steelkane, I added more pictures. If you want to see something specific let me know. The Bigger picture is zoomed in a bit too much. Make sure you click that so it opens in a new window. Then it shows the non-cropped picture.

by: Live OR Die;502245I do agree with you on the PCI-E Connectors. It would be nice to not use molex converters. I have been looking at the Corsair 750 lately but currently I don't have the extra money to buy it. Eventually I will probably up the power a bit so I can get the 4 PCI-E Connectors.

by: ccleorina;502195Yes it runs fine. You only need one but I had two so I put it on there.

Sweet job.....A little suprised by the size of your PSU,,,but hey, if it works , it works. good job my man!
Is that the Corsair HX 620W with 50A?
And can I swap my single GTS for your GTX's? :P

BTW... I got the power supply because I got really good deal on it. I'm happy I opted to get it. It is one of the nicest and well made power supplies I have ever used. Corsair PSUs FTW.
I love you derrick.

Probably the cleanest wire management in an ANTEC 900 I have ever seen
by: NeoCrisis;506621Thanks... It took quite awhile but it was well worth it. Anyone who buys an Antec 900 should also buy a dremel. :)

Even though the listing has been pulled Ebay has asked that I leave the pictures up well they investigate the users account. So my pictures will be like this for about a week.

Tech Power Up saved the day and saved someone a bundle of money.
yeah seeing how ur build was it, it surely was going to go higher than what the fraud put to start the bid
by: nguyenpeter76;508897I just re-uploaded the pictures. Should be looking good in a little bit once the thumbnails and everything adjust.

It looks good, but I can't see anything behind the HDD bays except shadow, can you take a pic with flash there?
Quick question : Did you use an extension on the 8 Pin and 24 Pin connectors? BTW, great job on that case.

Yes, I used extensions on both of them.
Looks so nice!
