R2, now just hunting for a good mobo.

If the R2 doesn't pan-out for whatever reason, i can always return it.
T.O.P.

Gigabyte H55N-USB3 in mine,
i7-870 @ 3.5 GHZ using a 500W psu upgrade,
I also drilled and cut the HDD cage to allow room for an ATI 5870 as you do !
Scythe Shuriken cooler for the cpu.
3 x 1 TB WD caviar black HDD's ( they used to be a sensible price... )

Beautiful case, and it wouldn't be impossible to cut a slot in the alloy for a slimline optical drive if you get creative ?

HTH
