Nice rig Rand. I recently upgraded also. My sis used Cyberpower, but I did the lazy thing and went to bestbuy and bought an ASUS w/8GB RAM, i7-2600. I added a XFX AMD Radeon 6750 and Corsair 700 Watt PS. All together about $1000.

The ASUS handle USB 2 and 3, 5 SATA drives, crossfire ready (PCIxpress 2). \
All in all not a bad deal and it screams pretty good.

Had some time for image uploading, so here are three of the new system:







As you can see, not the best lighting in the world in my kitchen. I don't think I like those dangling USB 3.0 cables that jut from the rear. At the moment I tied them down to the back of the case.

That was after I installed 2 of the 3 after-market hard drives in the box now. I like that the only signs they were there were the connectors and half an inch of SATA cables.

The box is MUCH quieter than my last system, which sounded like a tornado on load. That's nice, but it's always a bit discomforting coming down to the man cave first thing in the morning and I can no longer hear it. I always have a moment where I freak out and wonder if it blue screened on me.

Nice looking rig. Doesn't look the same without dust bunnies They are standard aren't they?

That was my first impression of my build - QUIET !! That was what I was after, and that's what I achieved. After 3+ years, my current rig has gotten rather annoying due to the air cooler, so it cost me a bundle, but it was worth it to tone down the noise.
