Love your case and specs! and the look too. 8/10 from me!
 
nice specs man! i love that case (maybe beceuse i have one :)) 8/10 because you didnt do major mods
 
I have got the same case. I am glad to see 2x 3870 X2's can fit in it:) you have a very sweet rig. I am planning to upgrade my video card when the Stimulus checks come in. Still don't know which card i should get. But it might be nvidia because i have a 680i SLI SE motherboard.
 
Looks great :) what scores are you getting on 3dmark?
 
20253 in 3D06 :)

haha i totally agree, yeah thats a real nice rig man,CM690 clan woot! p.s nice window shape though IMHO if it went a little lower it would look more even on the side panel, just a thought
 
I didn't want to see the whole PSU. It was cut high for that very reason. ;)

yeh nice rig bro,
lol. we pretty much have the same 3dmark06 score....(mines 20280) oooohh close !
good specs as well...

how come you havnt gone with watercooling yet? that would complete the puzzel.

BTW , i dig the upside down cases with PSU down the bottom, looks neat !
