Definately. Stock + Overclocked of course. Maybe i'll try cable management this time?

My current cable "management"

(note that i made things a bit cleaner with zip ties a few weeks ago)

Cable management would be a good Idea. I need to do some my self yours wouldn't look all that bad if you cables where sleeved. You should be able to tuck some of those cables behind the motherboard or stuff them in the drive bays. You also need to get you some fans on the back there looks like 2 120mm go there. Is it just me or is your northbridge heatsink not straight?

I'm getting a new case so I won't bother with this one. Those holes are only 80mm, but the pic is kinda big.

I'm getting a CM Storm Scout for my birthday if you didn't already know. I'll be getting more money from relatives too. I love birthdays.

And then Christmas won't be too far off either.

Those holes look big for 80's but like you said it's just the pic.

I like the Storm Scout it's an awesome case. I used to like birthdays but the older you get the less you get. I remember when I was 16 my dad and mom gave me like $200 a piece my grandparents game me another $100 those where good times lol. My birthday was a month ago I got like $80 and that was pretty much it lol. Enjoy it why you can because it doesn't last long.

this is really giving me a headache... it's still not here. I know that if the courier isn't here at 9:30am he's not going to be here today. It's 12:42pm now.

Don't worry about it. If you don't get your product - and you filed a dispute - you'll get your money back.

That's why you should always shop Paypal - preferably with a credit card.

I did pay with credit card.

I think when i get my money back i will buy a cheaper card, a sapphire version. and this time i will use POSTAGE INSURANCE
