LMAO!:D Wish I could oblige but those cards died on me...but were replaced by a single HD3870 X2, so I can't complain.Quote:

IMHO, 2x HD5770 > 3x HD4850, IF the HD5770s lose out, it should be by a small margin, but it's DX11 ready.
I bought the Kingwin case in my sig back in 2004.

It's been through a LOT of upgrades. I had trouble getting both Radeon's in it, so it may be nearing the end of it's life cycle.
Looks similar to a Lian Li I'd gotten a while back. Must have taken quite a bit of effort to get 2x HD5870s into it though.:eek:Quote:

This case still has a decent system in it: AMD Athlon X2 6000+ @ 3.0GHz, Thermaltake Toughpower 700w PSU (Modular Cabling), CoolerMaster Gemin II Heatsink w/2 x Thermaltake Thunderblade 120mm Fans, Asus M2n-Sli Deluxe, 4GB DDR2 G.Skill, MSI 8600gts, 2 x 500GB Seagate HD's, 2 x Lite-On DVD Burners. I never thought I'd find another case I liked as well as this case but I finally did.
My most recent system is in a Cooler Master COSMOS 1000 RC-1000. The only really difference is that the Cooler Master doesn't have any windows in it. Cooler Master does offer a replacement side panel with a window in it for $30 on Newegg. Oh ya, the Cooler Master is a Full Tower instead of the Superflower's Mid-Tower size. The Newer Video cards will only fit if you remove the removable Hard Drive Carrage.
My newer Cooler Master Case harbors an AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition @ 3.0GHz, Enermax Revolution85+ 1050w PSU (Modular Cabling), Zalman 9700NT Heatsink/Fan, Asus M4A79 Deluxe, XFX nVidia GeForce 285GTX, 8GB DDR2 G. Skill, 2 x 1TB Seagate, 2 x Lite-On DVD Burners, Rosewill 74 in 1 Card Reader.
Both or these Cases have Removable Intake Fan Filters (for easy cleaning), a huge PLUS in my book (I almost never have to clean the cases inside). They both have Thumbscrews for easy access. Both cases included numerous case fans (the Superflower 5 x 80mm, 2 intake and 3 exhaust)( the Cooler Master has 4 x 120mm, 2 intake and 2 exhaust). Both cases have removable Hard Drive Carrages (Superflower 1 cage, can accommodate a total of 4 drives)(Cooler Master has 6 individual carrages).
