The case is one thing that i really dont want to get rid of, but it’s the only thing that fits everything ‘cleanly’. There’s so much f’ing room, the build quality is really high, and the cooling is phenomenal. Just sucks because you can’t find them anymore
The psu, for what i have in it so far is handling everything fine. I read those same things when it was posted up on digg, and if i were to put in another gfx card, i would buy a new PSU (and honestly i still might buy a replacement if this doesnt sell). After i read the review, where they said it worked fine as a 500w psu, i figured out my total wattage demand, and with the OC i’m a little under 500watts ( Power Supply Calculator - PSU Calculator | OuterVision ). Another thing i was looking at was the Visiontek secondary internal modular PSU, but i havent looked into that a lot yet.
As for the 320gb hdd’s, they are 7200.10’s, but i get consistant copy speeds of 65MB/s when staying on the raid config, and when copying from the raid to the 7200.11 1TB drive, vista reports it’s copying at ~100MB/s (i know it’s not always that accurate, but with the time it took to copy the 26gb of southpark, it seemed legit).
The last time i ran 3dmark06 (when i was on 6gb of ram, and GFX Card at stock speeds) i scored over 13000 (looking for score right now). Wednesday i should be home to take pics/run 3dmark again.
This really is an awesome computer, that is just sitting in my room downloading torrents all day, with the occasional ‘gaming’ session (1/2 hour playing vegas 2). Add a tv tuner, and you have yourself one hell of a PVR, video editing, whatever computer. also, just an FYI, this graphics card does full HDMI output w/ HDCP and 5.1 channel Audio.
