Yup, I think this will be my next case. I'm gonna go check it out at Fry's next week. Looks like you have a ton of room to work with in there, which is the big upside with FT cases. It's murder trying to work within the 900. It really sucks, and nothing is screwless which adds to the frustration.

Love it minus Vista. I don't like how my processor will spike idling at 20% and how it is always using at least 1gig of RAM. I understand the more RAM you have the more it will use, but I just wish there was a better way of micro managing the processes that run. Also for using that much of my resources I would have hoped it would perform faster.
I am up to date, completely patched, using the newest version of firefox and on my wired desktop. Browsing on my wifi on my macbook with firefox is faster.
I feel that Windows 7 will make my system run a lot better than Vista and hopefully they get rid of the bloat.
It runs games great
30 to 40 FPS on crysis 1200x1024 8xAA (it spikes and drops on occasion to 10fps but then jumps back to 30ish)
200+ fps 1200 x 1025 8xAA on HL 2 and HL 2 mods (running net_graph 3)
Have yet to install COD4 and Crysis warhead will do that this weekend
Last night I unrar'd a 1 gig compressed file, and it decompressed that 1 gig file in about 8 to 10 seconds, which that is pretty damn impressive.
