I'd agree with that. I'm sure the 6870 would last a long time, but if you go high enough up (to say like a GTX 570/HD6950) you know you're not gonna need another GPU for at least another 2-3 years...unless you're like ThePlague and destroy GPUs as a weekend project.

Took like a week...not a weekend. But I got another 6870 out of it so when the time comes I can crossfire AKA when games actually work with crossfire properly...

Well, if you're only using one card currently, you were better off with the HD 5870 that you bricked.

out of you guys that have done alot of builds for other people, what is your PC case of choice.

looking for 90 degree mounted HD's, dust filters, bottom mounted PSU and a fan on top of the case similar to the antex 600

[JackalStomper]

...what size

[Amit]

I'm guessing he would accept suggestions for both mid tower and full tower ATX cases.

as long as it's not rediculously wide or big it doesnt matter so much, once i've seen some suggestions from you guys i'll get the exact dimensions for the housing it sits in.

I have the CM HAF 922. It's a big midtower case (pretty much a full tower), but it's not ridiculously big. It is almost the same size as the HAF 932 despite being a lower-end product than the 932. Plenty of space for everything, but the features for that case are sort of dated now. You might want to go with a cheaper case that has better features. something like the Antec Three Hundred Two which was released last month.

I'm not so sure about the mounting brackets on that antec, but other than that it looks good.

Really tempted to get that 922 though

dammit bod i can't afford to be buying cases right now!

Corsair Obsidian 700D.

Corsair cases are the only cases.
