nice case, but it's over rated... you could get a full tower and an H2O setup for cheaper, then upgrade your video card to a 7900GT at least...

Agreed with Nukem. You can also get the 7950GT instead. I think it's cheaper and just as good, if not, better in performance than the 7800GTX.

are you sure that your motherboard supports the C2D?

 

[techFr33k]

it supports core 2 duo fine, a friend of mine has the same specs.

I did change the memory though, kingston claim they only give full support to intel MBs, although I have seen them work on that exact motherboard above.

oh, about the GPU - money was never my issue, I am just not that much of a gamer, no real need for something too fancy, just took the first one i found which i saw as good enough

That case has wheels on it? That lock up? Like...I don't get it.

Is that so you can move your computer around like a notebook?

 

[Trotter]

The case is very heavy. So it's easier to push/pull it than to carry it.

Money has never been an issue some people would do anything to be able to say money wasnt an issue.


anyway why have less if you can have more ..... ??




Thanks
