Just be careful you get a Ninja that's on your side is all I can think to suggest.

(Referring to the case, or course)

Seriously tho, nice pc.

Is there something I should know about that case before I jump in and buy it?

Nah, I just like making stupid jokes about ninjas.

Only thing I've learnt about cases is that Thermaltake are fucking noisey, their fans are no better than any other brand, just a different colour (I already have one with dodgy bearing noise), plus the front drive door opening mechanism is irrepairable if you have a chair hit it.. which happened to mine & every clone of it I've encountered.

I'm wishing I spent a little more and got a Apple G5 tower case clone.. the big silver ones, but for PC.. they are big, sturdy and look really flash.

Yeah i agree with Demon on this. Save ur money or get a larger HDD, 500gb is the best value for money ATM.

And yes it is gonna be a pretty awesome PC either way.

Just thought I'd let people know, I HAVE THE COMPUTER :geek:


And it rocks, especially when compared to my nice little lagfest dell build that I've had for 3 years :)
