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.

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.
