Got the hardware, need an HTPC case! Suggestions plz?!

I see what you mean, that's really quite densely packed. How impressed are you with the overall build quality of Silverstone? Does it stack up/surpass that of Lian Li? I really like the looks of the DG05, but it isn't very tall... Probably the GD08 would be a viable choice, being two...

Got the hardware, need an HTPC case! Suggestions plz?!

I think the usually are an inch shorter, but the Asus 6870 DirectCU, which is supposed to be the most quiet 6870, is 11".... €: But if you've got a suggestion for an extremely quiet 6870, I'm all ears!

Good idea, but unfortunately the case isn't long enough for my graphics card :( 9.5" vs 11"

Agreed, but I wanna spend it on something I actually notice when playing.

It's a small family owned business, and I am thankful for their generosity. I don't want to overdo it.

Because various tests don't show any noticeable difference between 1600 ram and those with higher speeds. And why pay extra for something you don't need. It's not like I've got money to burn. I don't know what would speak for the 2500k, except for the lower price tag?

Well said. I ordered the Asus. My PSU is the Cougar GX1050, was that a good choice?

Well I already double checked every piece of hardware, only the mainboard and the case is questionable. ASrock is supposed to be high quality as well, but Asus is still the best manufacturer it seems? €: which is pretty clear in the original post I'd say.

Alright, so No objections against the mainboard? Strangely I can't seem to find any review whatsoever of this particular model... The coolermaster Haf X is not the most refined case i guess, but it should enough space for WC I assume. Does someone here use either of those, mb and case? And if...

I've considered that option, but scaling with 4 GPUs seems to be a problem with quite a number of games, that's why I went with 2 580s.

Sorry for not making that clearer, it will be a 2-way-SLI, so either the two EVGAs or the two MSIs, depending on the design of the MSIs, if they can't be retrofitted with watercooling I'll take the EVGAs. I already have a HP ZR30w, maybe I'll upgrade to 3 of them. So two GTX580s will probably...

Hi there, I'm just about to order the components for my new gaming rig, please take a quick look at them and tell me they're alright. http://geizhals.at/eu/?cat=WL-167804 The only two things I'm not sure about yet is the motherboard, currently I've chosen the ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z Z68...

Z68 Motherboard Dilemma

Sorry for intruding, but I'm kind of the same situation. Trying to build a new PC, but not sure yet which Z68 mb is best atm. As a MB right now the Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z is my choice, but I'm not so sure why it's more expensive than the Asrock. If you tell me it's the best I can get atm...
