Hi Soar

After just checking as I don't usually use the nVidia cards it seems they go for around £300 or a bit more.

Hope this helps. ;)

DM,

Am I reading you correctly?

300 X 1.6 = $480?

That is absolute robbery!  Ok, I have a plan...

We will add on a new room here and you can live with us here in the USA.  You'll save a lot of pounds.

Do you accept?

I wouldn't miss you that much and neither would your wife who, I believe, has already packed your bags! ;)

Y'know I was in the CompUSA store the other day and saw  a variety of cases on display. I have to say I wasn't impressed by the looks of the HAF 922. I mean it's big and and sturdy and all but for the eye candy factor I liked the NZXT Phantom a lot more and am now leaning on that a bit more.

Y'know I was in the CompUSA store the other day and saw  a variety of cases on display. I have to say I wasn't impressed by the looks of the HAF 922. I mean it's big and and sturdy and all but for the eye candy factor I liked the NZXT Phantom a lot more and am now leaning on that a bit more.

Faizoff,

that NZXT Phantom looks very nice!  It has lots of nice features too:

7 Fan Cooling Options: Dual 200mm, Single 230/200mm, Triple 120mm, and Front 140mm [no worries about lack of air flow, that's for sure]!
Five 20W per Channel fan control totaling 100W [you would not need to purchase that Scythe fan controller]!
Fan LED on/off function [if you do not like the lights]!

It also has tons of excellent reviews...

Best of all, it looks kinda Star Trekish...

So, beam me up, Scotty Faizoff!

Soar

PS I just hope Mr. Spock doesn't pop out of the case when you open it!

LOL soar, yea it does look star trekkish. I've been going back and forth on a lot of things to get for my PC and the video card and case have been the 2 items that constantly change for me.

I've decided for the video card i'll stick with the 4670 as I posted earlier. It runs Crysis on high but not very high. I think High is good enough. Still looks great.

I'm glad you brought up the fan controller as I was looking into getting the one you got. Another product of interest I noticed at the store was a media dashboard with plenty of USB ports.

I tend to use a few USB ports and I'd like to have more in the front as I think it's waste to have usb ports at the back. So many devices I plug in and out (phones, external storage, etc..) The media dashboard gave me an idea to not look for a case that has more than 2 usb ports.

Again I hope this thread isn't getting derailed. Sorry if it is. ;-)

Thanks again for the feedback guys.

No problem faizoff it is just a natural evolution of the discussion. If you want to go in depth with it though it might be a good idea to start a new thread. ;)
