    Can't wait to get my PC loaded up. I'm lovin the look of yours by the way!
    Thanks guys. Niles, they are two GTX460s with a decent overclock. They perform very well, I can run BF3 at over 60 FPS on hi settings. I guess I should have re-listed my system specs.

    System Specs:
    CPU I5-2500K @4.6
    ASUS Maximus Gene VI Z68
    2X MSI GTX 460 HAWK
    16 GB Corsair Vengeance Ram
    1050 watt ABS power supply

    Next thing I'd like to get is an SSD to use as a cache.
    Old school or the new, doesn't mean a thing if your heart's not true...

      What's that Xdock thing? Like an e-sata? Mines got that too if that's what it is...

        You can hot swap an SSD or laptop HD in that slot.

          I really like the aesthetics. I know the looks aren't for everyone but I like my computer cases to look like they are going to war and not like an extruded block of aluminum or a Dubai tower. I'll post more pics when I get some gear inside.
          Very nice! That thing is a beast for sure!
          I picked up the Antec FD-30, has the same kinda deal up on top with a 2.5" SATA bay. Stuffed an old laptop drive in there for backing up.

              Thanks Plaztic! The Dark Fleet is a great case too. Antec makes some really well made cases. I just built a back up/ guest gaming rig this winter and put it inside an Antec Nine Hundred Two V3 and I was so happy with the build quality.

              I love it too. I got mine two Novembers ago, Newegg had it listed for $299.00, I combined a couple of E-coupons I found in a post on overclock.net and got it for $119.00 shipped. It weighs 10.5 lbs, sick!

                  I really like it, great case! I just added these blue LEDs to illuminate the insides and it looks like nuclear winter, so cool.

                    The Antec case was my first to have a PSU on the bottom, and cable management channel on the right side (which I really like!). Makes it so much cleaner on the inside. And looking forward to having these removable screens that cover the fans on the front. A much needed feature here in the dusty central valley...
                    It replaced my Raidmax Simlodon which i had for a few years now which had none of those features.

                    Also bought an 128GB SSD drive that was the same price as the 64GB SSD I bought last year.

                    Waiting a month or two before I order a higher end video card to replace my 460 GTXs.

                      Any idea what vid card you are going to go with. I had the opportunity to try out a pair of 560's but there was only a moderate gain in fps, not worth upgrading. I was thinking a Radeon HD 7970, but something is telling me to wait.

                        Most likely the 580.

                          I think there is like a magical time span when bikes become worth a fortune.
