Barely retro - 1366, XL-ATX board, GTX580 SLI

Here's a weird duck in a couple ways.

Case - Lian Li PC-100 "Hammer" - backwards motherboard layout. XL-ATX support.

Board - Gigabyte G1 Assassin. Integrated X-Fi, Integrated Killer NIC, USB3. Pain in the ass form factor.

CPU - i7-970

Graphics - GTX 580 SLI. Might go Tri one day

Storage - 15K RPM 300GB SAS, 2x 500 SATA

I'd love to do Quad SLI, but the case needs modding and the heat / power use will just be cruel

So yeah. Your "Front" IO is under a door. Recessed.

All your cables get to pass THROUGH a channel in the case, out the back. What a mess.

Gorgeous case, though.

How do y'all feel about builds in the PC-A05N

I need to do a bit more work on it, and find one of by better 775 chips

E6550

Striker Extreme

2x2GB G-Skill 1066

Coolermaster Geminii with a custom backplate

3x 9800 GTX+

74GB Raptor (Should be RAID 0, can't find my second)

This is now the... fourth? Case that I've packed the framethrower into.

The removable top panel makes wiring the thing SO much easier.

Gonna run Vista Ultimate x64. I want my widgets!
