hello,
so finally here's my rig
a lot of unboxings's-

CORSAIR GS 800

ASUS XONAR DG

SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 6870

this is an old pic.... now see what i did to it -

so far this modding is doing fine... and what's good is that there is significant drop in temp's
before load temp's were around mid 80's and sometimes upto 90C even .. but now i'm not getting anything more than mid 70s

here's CM STORM SIRUS true 5.1 gaming headset very quick unboxing

stay tuned for more pics...

xonar is working great with sirus and sp2200...
but its a pci card not a pci-e.
so if your mobo has a pci slot ..then you are just good to go with xonar dg

What's that ribbon looking cable that says Gigabyte on it? I've never seen one of those (sarcasm

)
Just an FYI, there are rounded IDE cables. I always hated how the regular cables looked. Also, why not put a bigger and quieter 140mm fan on the gpu instead of 2 small ones? IM sure you could find a way to strap it on there.
Nice build though

I got excited when I saw the cooler off the GPU, I thought it was going to be watercooled.
