good point, GTX 280 needs at least a 550 watt PSU and that case doesnt come with any power supply.

 

PC 133 crew FTW!

 

That's quite the setup. What are you using it for? Running COD4 and Crysis at the same time?

 

The only problem I see with the case is it isn't heat conduction friendly. It looks like the heat will stay in one place in that case. Anyways if you go to my link, the fan can be ordered with the heatsink all in the same place. I've ordered from there as has Rick, it's a perfectly find vendor.

A case I would recommend for around that price would be:

The Antec P182. It has a chambered design and the motherboard tray is slightly elevated. Which means you can run all of your wiring behind the motherboard tray leaving the area above the motherboard clutter free.

Here's a link:

Edit: You can place your hard drive in the lower chamber and remove the middle chamber and place a fan there for better cooling.

 

im iffy on fanless heatsinks
my house has poor weather protection

that and zalmans are hot:boink:

 

Need SLi

SLI is over rated... only can use 1 monitor..

The heatsink isn't fanless, you attach a fan to the heatsink, that's why I recommended the Noctua to him to go with it. Works perfectly fine, you can see my temps with my Q6600.

 

ill sell my ZALMAN cooler for 20 bucks.. i went back to OEM... cause the AMD 6000 comes with a nice beefy one..
