Just updated my case a bit.. Added new media card reader, blocked out empty grates with Black Felt so no more of the red cathode light glare in my face, and removed the side 240mm fan an metal grates and replaced with plexi... Also hooked all lights in the case to a push button located in the...

What do you mean by this? I'm really liking this case and routing wires was a breeze...

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! New PC Parts

Here's my new build.. Just completed it last night.. Specs are in my sig... Let me know what you think... I'm going to add a media card reader above the DVDRW and put some black foarm board just behind the metal grates in the empty drive bays... I don't like being able to see all the way into...

Budget is getting streched a little to thin...

Always seems forever to get your money back from the rebate cards... I'll just go with the 840 pro.. The 128gb is on sale right now for $139.99 from $149.99...

I had reservations about the refurbed SSD.. Is there any decent 180GB SSD for around the same price?

Ok, did some digging over the weekend and came up with some different items... I already ordered the memory, went with 8gb rather than 16gb, the Corsair PS that PP suggested, and the Corsair H60 watercooler that was Refurbed and at a pretty good price... Already ordered... CORSAIR HX Series...

Can't edit my original post due to time limit so here is my updated list... Added the Corsair 750 PS and upgraded from the H50 to the H90 water cooler since the case I'm getting has a 140mm fan in the rear... Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop...

Tri-SLI may not be out of the question.. Never have done it but who's to say I wouldn't if I found a good deal down the road on a couple more 680's... That's why I kinda am looking for a little more power... The Corsair extra sleeves are a big interest to me.. I like tweaking and getting the...

Looking at Newegg I see some deals on the Corsair PSs... CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850 (CMPSU-850AX) 850W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply - $135.99/w 20% off code or CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI...

Yeah, my current machine does have a pretty custom water loop... I was gonna sell it with the current computer not to mention I kinda want move away from this just for the simplicity of it... I don't think I'll be doing any major overclocking to start with.. Maybe down the road I'll look into...

Bonus check time next week... Gonna build a new PC.. My current rig is in my sig.. Looking to do a complete new build... Will be used for gaming... Wanna play everything at max settings up to 1920x1080 res... Here is what I am thinking of going with.. Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz...

Yeah, I see your point... Thank you much for your suggestions... Looks like we will be going this route...

I like it... Is there any reason why I couldn't use the 4 GB Gskill Memory I originally posted? If I did that it would drop it back down to the original price that I started with...
