Nice :good:...now with a Radeon 5870.
Yeah that's one reason why two is good. Another is if you play games and you need the disc in the drive to play the game, you can leave the DVD in the drive and still have another drive free/spare to burn discs or watch movies or whatever.
Thanks.
I will get better photos of it tomorrow or maybe now whilst I have some spare time. Those photos were taken whilst I still half asleep this morning after I had got it in my case. I have about a millimetre or two to spare in my case. Yeah I know - finally the wait for a proper GPU is over - and now I'm a gamer (of sort).
In true "Jason style" we don't say "Radeon", we say "RAADDEEEOOONNN!!" with about a hundred a's, d's, e's, o's and n's. Just like the legendary Core 2 Quuuaadddd. The cooler is good. It's an Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 (not the Pro). Keeps my overclocked 2500K nice and cool.
I get about 35C at idle and no more than 65C under load. Have noticed though that the heat rising off my 5870 has made my CPU a little toastier by about one or two degrees but it's still fine. Thanks, it was a great buy, £106 all in all for this 5870. Worth it I'd say. Maxxing my games at 1080p and getting very playable FPS.

That's one of the downside to D-SLR cameras - the price. 
If you wanted a better camera you could always get one like mine. I use a Fuji FinePix S4000. If you want to see some sample photos, take a look in the Official Post Your Photos Thread - I've uploaded plenty of photos taken with that camera there.

Will try to get some better photos in the near future but right now I'm just enjoying maxxing out games at 1080p.
Easy
Lol, good job, looks great!
Easy
Oh yeah the 5870 can max anything it seems.
It's still more than adequate. And thanks. More photos coming tomorrow hopefully.

Nice I was really surprised when I found out what my $80 graphics card can do! It can run a game like WoW at max graphics! It can run bf3 on low.

Well I wasn't surprised that the 5870 could max out most games, I had done a lot of research on the card before I bought it to make sure that it was what I wanted and that it would meet my needs. What graphics card do you have?

I have a geforce 210 series. I got it on sale for $40 i think it was. I will go see if I can find it on newegg.
I think I will buy this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153
Or this one.:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108407

Looking good!
Cheers. :good: I will get some better photos up tomorrow. Too bad the power connectors are a bit weird on this card, means the power cables have to go over the card rather than underneath it...

Need a light?
With the side panel off, it looks a little shoddy...
I plan on doing something with the wires and inverter if it's fairly easy. If it turns out to be a pain in the ass (The wires are fairly short) I'll end up pulling out a black sharpie, and coloring it black so it doesn't stand out so much. As you saw though, it's not visible with the side panel on, so it's not a big deal either way.
So, what do you folks think?

GT 210 isn't better choose and it is slow than 9600 GT. You can have get good video card like i paid 40 dollar for 9600 GT at better affordable.
Try max setting on Crysis 2

It will easily max Crysis 2. My 3870 Maxes crysis 2 at 720p at around 30fps which tells you quite abit

Yeah, I dunno why you keep using crysis 2 as a benchmark. I max that easily. BF3 is the new visual king. And crysis 2 never was, unless you use the dx11 and detailed textures pack.

Actually Witcher 2 is a good benchmark, because it seems to not be optimized, and most high end setups even have burps with it.

I wouldn't say a not optimized game would be good for benchmarks, because they wouldn't reflect performance on an optimized machine.
I guess if it can max witcher two, it can max anything.

Crysis 2 WAS a good benchmark, as it was one of the first dx11 games, but not anymore. Just like crysis 1 was a great benchmark at the time, not anymore. BF3 is good, wither 2, and some others.
