update as of 20/1/09

have replaced frontal intake fans with a massive 90 and 110 CFM airflow LED Fans!! and have added 10cm green LEDs near the DEEPCOOL HDD red fans to visually accentuate that area more. will wait till GTX 300 comes out in Dec'09 and will duel SLI those then. :) But for the next few months, dont think there will be much changes - spent WAAAY too much time and money on it so far! LOL ill keep it as it is for now.


Games so far that i have played on MAX settings, full native res and with resultant >60fps average:

Crysis DX10 ( 2x AA)
Crysis Warhead DX10 ( 2x AA)
Red Alert 3 (full AA)
COD4: Modern Warfare (full AA)
COD4: WaW (full AA)
Mass Effect (full AA)
Bioshock (does not have AA)
Fallout 3 (full AA)
Company of Heroes DX10 (full AA)
Dead Space
Far Cry2 DX10 (8QAA)
Mirror's Edge PhysX (full 16QAA)
Prince of Persia (full AA)
Unreal Tournament 3 PhysX update (forced 16QAA)
World in Conflict (full 16QAA)
Stalker Clear Sky (full AA)
Assassin's Creed (full AA)
FEAR (full AA)
Supreme Commander
Left 4 Dead (full 16QAA)

The only game that doest run >60fps average is GTAIV which sruggles---most ppl on net saying not 100% compatible with SLI and it's a bad and buggy port from console..so it doesnt really count. still waiting for my gaming rig to be pushed to the limit :) perhaps upcoming FEAR 2 will strain it a little more

8/10 love the system. I would of chosen different fans, coolant and a fan controller but thats personal choice only thing I didn't like is the Decals went overboard.
