The side panel on the 922 is different too wasn't sure if that was the big reason for the price difference. Also have read a few people complaining about the 992 not doing a very good job for being labeled HAF. I am pretty sure it is do to case pressure problems though or the fact that some...

SO I was originally going to buy haf 932 plenty of space, supposed high air flow (namesake), however I was thinking maybe I can save some $$ and go with a cheaper case. I do want good air flow. I will be running core i7 920, 12gb ram, (2) 4890 in crossfire a SSD and a regular HD and no more then...

And for the SSD the main reason I am going to install one is for the OS and Games mainly .. all storage needs will be on a second HD. My SSD needs are for general OS speeds, gaming (never have more then one or 2 games installed at once .. not enough hours in the day), and when I finish up I will...

Looking at the 4890s Im hearing people complain about heat issues. I will be OCing this system and plan to add more fans to my HAF 932 .. noise was never a huge deal to me.. However anyone know if I will be needing after market coolers for the GPUs as well? I did read with the proper PSU there...

I do like the ram .. ty for the heads up I think I will go with that Ram .. better speeds and same price. Also no real negative feedback about it or the brand. Also like the monitor .. Will research the quality Vs Samsung However it is 1920x1080 and full 1080p so seems great at first glance...

Thanks for the 'sound' advice - get it ;) - .. sorry couldnt help myself. Thanks, the PSU is the same price range and from what Im reading will handle my set up just fine. I have had Onkyo stuff before however it never dawned on me that I could use a theater set up for my computer. I guess one...

a lot of ppl never return their direct tv receiver boxes .. So check craigslist.com or ebay to just buy one outright and probably at a big discount. Im not saying do it because I have never tried that and unsure if the boxes need to be registered to work or what not, however that is what he was...

So about every 5 years I build myself a new PC. I got lazy about 3 years ago and just bought a DeLL Laptop, my mistake :-( So Ive been out of the game a little while and after some research this is the part list I came up with. Im not looking to spend a ton of cash but I do want a semi-powerful...
