Nice all around rig. Pretty good job on the wiring, too. (This case is surprisingly hard to get the wiring just right in, isn't it? lol) Anyway 7/10, (outstanding) from me.

I really wish my 830 Evo was black. lol.

That cpu is severely bottlenecking your GTX, tho. My X2 at 3Ghz is even bottlenecking my 2900XT. You can get a dual core Opteron for around $100 on Newegg now, and it will likely clock better. Just a tip, doesn't reflect in the score.

I'm moving to a Core2Duo setup in a month or two, so no more CPU upgrades until then!

Thanks!

Awesome case, just wish the inside was black, but being aluminum, would add alot of cost to the case, I gave you 8, the whole setup looks slick.

I will not lie. I gave you a 6 out of 10. Its not because I don't like you're rig, but this is a case mod gallery and there wasn't much modding done. I like your build though. Very clean and no bullshit. I must admit i like your wiring job too. Very good point to point wiring job without any crazy sleaving. Thats a look i normally don't like, I prefer very tight right angle wiring much like Heavy H2O uses, but yours is an acception. Very nice case and very clean.

Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see your dual core system.

In defense of the poster, it was just the "Case Gallery" when he posted it, not the "Case Mod Gallery"

i gave ya a 7 for your work. I like what I see, but just add more details in your explanation of your system specs and any mods... those always add to good reviews. I honestly loved the 939 interface, I wanted to cry when I upgraded to AM2, although I think my move was worth it. lol Also, nice job with the wiring, the Stacker is quite tough to manage wires with seeing how its so huge and open, especially with all thought fans and their wires!
