superb work, decent hardware......8/10

one question, though.... are u certain that the psu is insufficent for the 4890 crossfire?
800w should be enough!

Thanks for the review
Yes i have tested it quite vigorously and get a BSD when i push it to hard. I tried a friends power supply and it worked flawlessly. I needed more connections anyways.
 
It take a careful hand to make a build look good in that case,, The hardware is awesome but the build needs work.
 
That's a lot of tower for what hardware you have. Just a suggestion, is to sleeve and cable tie all those cables neatly out of the way it would really clean it up for ya. 6/10
 
lol like thermaltake much, nice rig bro looks good.
