How does it look? Yeah I know the memory and video card could be better, but I dont really do that much gaming... I'd much rather the processing power ;).

 

And, yeah in the end I decided to go the the PC65B... the 6070 would be great.. but a bit too pricy... and the P180 is steel :lol: !

It looks like a couple of you links didn't get pasted in there correctly.

The Antec P180? That thing is heavy for a midtower IMO. After building my friend a computer with the P180, I think that it just looks a lot better than it really is. But I never really had a chance to find out how much good all that thermal managment marketing mumbo jumbo really is. And it's not really a quiet case either. Not when you have a Tornado on the processor, a high speed 80mm Sunon "floating" above the memory, two 120mm panaflo medium speed fans (M1A) for intake and exhaust, two more 120mm stock fans from Antec, and two 80mm fans on the PSU. That thing sounds like a jet engine. I like the Lian Li that you picked, but I'd rather have a Tt Armor (va8000bws) or CM Stacker.

 

A floppy cable? People still use those?

 

Aside from that, nice choices. :thumbs-up: I'm too lazy to add it up, what's the total? And yes, I realize it's canadian dollars... now. $10 seemed a little expesive for an 80mm fan. Then it dawned on me. :lol:
