I voted 10 as well as this has to be one of the cleanest rigs I've seen in a long time. Very well done! I can't find anything to fault this rig, apart from my own tastes but their not enough for me to warrant dropping you down a mark.

The set up as a whole is more than excellent, it's borderline perfect. My only gripe(s) are the colour and size of the chassis. Other than that, it's perfect.

Great job

Cleanest job i've seen in a long time. Before you upgrade to the HD3873, do some comparison shopping. (VR zone, this site etc). I did, and the 8800gt 512mg with the G92 chip beats it hands down. Hey, just my opinion. Great job anyway.........
