Kolzig Posted August 18, 2010 I *think* I have reached final round of choosing a new case. I was going for the around 100 euro range so cases like Silverstone Fortress are out of my selection. First up is Lian Li PC-7F for 120 euros. Midtower case. Second is Thermaltake V9 Black edition for 100 euros. Also a Midtower case. Third is Thermaltake Shark for 100 euros. This one seems to be a full tower case. I'm trying to find some case reviews concerning these so I could know the plus and minus sides of these cases. Any ideas?

Moelman Posted September 5, 2010 hijack Got my new rig running today, and it is a beast Intel Core i5 2.66GHz Quad Nvidia GTX 470 4GB RAM 1TB Hard drive 650W PSU It sucked because my initial power supply, a 550W was DOA, but I just went out and bought a new one today and will send the bad one back to Newegg (though fuck them if they expect me to pay a restocking fee AND shipping, I will be calling on Tuesday about that). Just played BFBC2 on all highest settings, it was amazing. I've never really played on anywhere close to this high end of a PC before, it's such a leap from my laptop.

Scratch Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Sorry if I'm derailing some ongoing conversation. I am currently in the process of buying a new graphics card. I have two 9800GTXs in SLi at the moment. So far I have it narrowed down to the GTX 460. It's in my budget and seems like the proper incremental upgrade from my existing cards. I've not been a fan of ATI but I am open to other suggestions. EDIT: While we're at it, I am also looking to upgrade my RAM. I have 2gb DDR3 clocked at 1600mhz cas 7 timings. I would love to get a pair of those same ones again, but they don't seem to manufacture them anymore. I have looked for 4gb packs but nothing out there has cas 7 timings. Any advice would be really appreciated. Edited October 1, 2010 by Scratch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
