    thats a generic cm case there. to get a a nice one, you will have to kick your price up and add the lights on your own.

    ATI is alright.. I never had any problem with my HD 4850

    For the price and features, yes I would recommend HD 5770 over GTX 260 unless you can find the GTX 260 cheaper than the HD 5770

    I thought GT 240 isn't compatible with SLI... I had a thought of SLI when I found the GT 240 for $30 each after rebate but then after reading about it, it wasn't compatible with SLI

  10. oh damn.. I just saw the antec 900 yesterday, it was on sale few days ago...

    isn't the coolmaster haf the same one I posted, cept one you posted is full tower.

    I like the look of the 900.. but the coolmaster sounds like its got more features.. =/

    The_Jelly NSFW? :P

    Well, you can get the 900 on bewawa for 93+ tax :D
     
  12. I'm sure once the sales drop.. I can get it for like 60-70...

    Think I might just go with the 900 since it's got more review than the haf

    My choice would be the coolermaster haf midtower...

    My friend is doing a build right now with an Antec 300 case... not bad at all, except considering the amount spent on performance components, i'd like to have a case with an acrylic side window.
     
  14. thing is.. the haf got tool free bays.. so that makes it very convenient..
     
  15. i got the haf932 :jump: monster case

    I think this is the same card, and quite a bit cheaper. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102873&cm_re=hd_5770-_-14-102-873-_-Product
    If this isn't all you're getting, the shipping works out ok if you also ordering other things.
