Why the 7600's?. Why not less RAM and a 7900/8800 series? Would most likely have given better performance.
I like the looks of that fan in the 2nd pic, evil metal looks. Even though it's probably silver colored plastic :)

for what I need the pc for 7600 card are more then fast enouf, the memory and hard drive space help more with video editing and 3d modeling. plus if i were to put better cards in i will wait for the 8850 or 8900 to get here.

you really hit the nail on the head with this one,good choices where it counts and nothing overkill for what you need....yet, im sure youl do something special with the graphics lconfig when you feel the time is right, i looked at this case but chose my silverstone over it,life would be rather mundane if we all had the same personal taste....anyhow 10..i like it.

I would have your case if it wasn't for all the dust my house gets. I agree that this is a balanced system that meets your custom needs.

How are those Sammy drives doing for ya? I've been debating getting one for mine. Any problems in XP?
