nice glad you got your stuff in! that 5970 is frickin the shit!

Pity it's not in my pc yet.

Gotta dismantle my pc and do some butchering on the hdd enclosure before.

(I know I can buy another case, but I kinda love mine and it's more satisfying if I mod it to fit...)

Using a pair of pliers to pull the hdd enclosure from the mobo side into a slightly convex shape did the trick. It's funny how simple it was.
I'll post photos tomorrow

'Modding' a case.... Bud Spencer style.... :laugh:

Notice the side of the hdd case, on the mobo side it's now convex:

This is after installing everything. I still have to do the wire management...

BP you know I love you, but that 5970 is so outa place with your system. At the very least your 850W Corsair helps.

I know what you mean. I see it like a woman wearing an expensive diamond necklace together with cheap denim hot-pants and a tank-top. :laugh:

I'll be upgrading in the future, but it'd be one step at a time. Right now I just tested some games and performance is just perfect, so there isn't the immediate need.
Perhaps Q3 of this year I'll get myself a sexy new case, a DDR3 CF mobo and processor.

Don't worry your laptop makes up for a lot.

Lol nope. My desktop kills the lappie in game performance now.

I was impressed running Fallout3 at 16xAA 1680x1050 and getting 60fps (capped due to vsync) in Rivet city, and awesome IQ... :eek:

What I have to do tomorrow now is to go buy some RAM. I had 6GB originally but I put 2GB at work, gave another 2GB stick to my brother for xmas (when I gave him a mobo and pantherx12's 5000BE) and all I got left here is just one 2GB stick running very lonely in single channel. :ohwell:

No sweat BP. Pretty does not equal performance. With that being said some simple cable management could help with aesthetics and cooling (air flow). Just a suggestion. :toast:

FYI I have sever OCD so "neat" is number one in my book. :laugh:

Look at my rig. "TheMailBox 2.0" in my sig as an example.
