I bought the following from Newegg yesterday. I'm worried about the PSU being sufficient for the 4870x2 and the mobo fitting with everything else in the case...

I was worried about securing a 4870x2, which is why I bought all this without checking for compatibility. I researched all the parts individually though, and I'm pretty sure I got what I want.

Nice case pick! :laugh:

What Blain would do with that case, if PS mounting holes make it possible...
* Cut a 120mm (CD size) hole in the bottom, positioned under the PS.
* Flip PS over, so that it's pulling fresh air in from under the case and exhausting it out the back.

The Cosmos is where I stole the idea. ;)
