Well its in and all done, would have posted up earlier but had a war to play.

Ya had a quick 5 min go on Crysis Warhead, FPS was better. Not had much of a go tonight, will bive it a good thrashing tomorrow.

I may even try and finish the cod:ww SP!

What a tidy case.

Bet you can max out in all games now. Lock an load tiger.

Im rather interested on how it performs, what are the rest of the specs?

 

[Nobody in particular]

Nice....

Looks really good

Agree with AB's very tidy cable management - you should come and re-wire mine Hehe lol.

Ya i've done the best i can with the cables. Thats the one down side to the Antec 900, The cable management isn't the greatest, although i hear its a lot better in the new version (The 900-2) Channels behind the MB tray etc...

On the up side temps are fantastic. I used to have a side fan in the case but took it off and found it made very little difference to the temps surprisingly.

I played cod4 for a few hours last night, had GPU-Z running in the background. The GPU peaked at 70c with a fan speed of 40% ..... So i have room for OC'ing it!

Performance wise its all good a definite improvement over the 8800GTX.

I had a real quick go at GRID last night, I use a custom Ultra high mod for the graphics, (Found Here) Frame rate has almost doubled! I couldn't quite believe it, wasn't expecting that, will try more games later today/tomorrow.

Very nice I'm looking forward to see how it does if you overclock it
