Really? I have had my eye on that case for some time now... It looks sexy in this video and the pics on this website and what people are saying. http://www.3dgameman.com/content/view/4286/48/

LOL, ya, its gunna be like night and day. my card is a bit faster and has 512MB on it. i can run Crysis on Highish and get playable framerates (28-60). u should be able to run it on med-high settings. the rest of the games i play i can max out (Steam games, BF2, BF2142, Oblivion, BioShock, COD2 and COD4, UT3). u should be able to max out those games as well.

I love you guys haha And the case choice is gonna be hard cause I really wanted a window side panel... Though I do like that cooler master... o and by the way this build is gonna come in Feb. sometime so I was just getting price checked now. haha So hopefully more Amd price cuts? or ati? Thanks!

Just watched that video. The case actually looks like it has great functionality, but I still think the exterior looks plasticky. Plus I'm really not a fan of 80mm fans.
The Coolermaster RC-690 has room for 7 120mm fans (4 can be 140mm), it looks gorgeous and all but the motherboard is a tool-less install.

Keep an eye on the CM 690, you will see it a lot with rebates(I have). I got mine for $30 w/ MIR on Black Friday.
