**Edit** PC Build Progressing....but I have a couple of ?'s

Hudson ... you have an Antec 1200? Things a beast isn't it? I swear loaded it weighs like 85 pounds! There's a few things I don't like about it, like I have to take the side panel off to clean the filters and I wish there was a "latch" system for the side panel instead of screws. Overall though, I still love the case.

B6, grats. on the build! Any of you guys tinker with OC at all?

Ya, those filters definitely get clogged up, and they are definitely a bit of a pain to get at. The screws are at least thumb screws which is better than having to drag a Phillips head out, but yes it could have been better.

I also need to replace the top fan on mine. It doesn't usually start spinning on its own, which may or may not have to do with an incident where I dumped a cup of coffee in the thing and smoked a GTX 280 and motherboard

What a disaster that was to clean up. I had a lot of time to think about it and clean though, while I waited for the replacement parts to arrive.

OMG! Ya that would do a number on a system. I actually resorted to just putting one thumb screw in each cage. It helped a little with the pain of cleaning the filters, but still ...

Ok, it was a dis-lodged power chord on the Samsung......right now its spanned over 2 screens. Buff is happy.

I loaded or rather D/L'd MWO last night, ran the patch and hit play and it crashed, wants me to uninstall it and do over. Some DLL is missing or somesuch. No biggie, I dont even have all the fans or the other 2 hard drives hooked up so I'll get it running in tip top this weekend

I got a really good sub $100 price on a second GTX-280 on ebay, so to hold me over to mid next year I'm going to SLI them.

The fact that they can hold their own against a 570 when in SLI just meant I couldn't find anything that provided the bang for the buck:

It is pretty amazing that one card is twice as fast as one from a few years ago though. Can't wait 'til after taxes next year

I am still enjoying my sli 8800 gts setup. its 6 years old now and the dam system is still kicking. I am not maxing out games but hey its kicking.

hoping I will be able to make a new system next year at some point. nut its not a rush item.

I'm still running on my Nvidia 295GTX (Dual GPUs) from 2009, rock solid in all games I play to date. Happy camper here.
