    I'd wait a week or so. AMD just announced the new cards and there is supposedly more info coming on Monday. Don't buy any videocards right now because the bottom may fall out of the current cards if the performance figures match the specs on those new 7000's. They look to be beasts.

    I'll believe that when I see it. Just don't go to the mall for a week and maybe you'll be able to resist.

    Looks tight if you ever want to watercool. Otherwise, I love the Silverstone sideways mounting of the motherboard. That case looks to be really high quality.

    Why not go with the enclosed liquid cooling systems (H60, H70, Kulher, etc)? They are on par with the highend air cooling set ups, but the thing I like about them is they take up much less room in the case and you don't have to worry about the huge cooler when you move your case around.

    I like the Revo, I can boot in seconds. But I'm concerned with size. My WinSXS folder is growing beyond all rationality, and I fear that I'll run out of disk space. If I had it to do over, I'd get a bigger SSD.
