My partner wants to set up a dual monitor gaming setup in our shop using this new machine.

Thoughts, ideas, input is welcome//
 
i would look at a different case, maybe something like a cosmos s or a tagan black pearl, those might have a bigger impression on people

You just haaave to one-up me, eh Scoot? :P

Haha, just kidding. The build looks pretty good, though I agree with not liking NZXT cases. They're horribly overpriced, simply for "looks". Really, it's about finding a case that's both practical, convenient, AND THEN looks nice. :rolleyes:

I still can't decide on 4870x2's or GTX280's for my build, though. Certainly seems like the 4870x2's will be the better option, down the road.. but who knows. You more-so an ATI, or an Nvidia fan?

Not trying to speak for you here scooter but, I think he's more of an ATI fan, he had dual 4870's before and still sticking with it. :P

Anyway, can't wait to see benchmarks of this rig, wish I had enough for i7.
 
Get a better case.

I'm a HUGE fan of my Antec P180B. And fanboyism aside, I like it because it's EXTREMELY durable. The build quality on this tower is top-notch.

If I were you, I'd get either of these power supplies:

Check out reviews on those PSUs. They're amazing, and seeing as you're going the best of the best with the rest of the system, why not get a true 1000watt modular PSU that gets RAVE reviews? :P
