YES! I got a quarterly bonus at work and promptly blew most of it on

- AMD Crosshair IV Formula Mobo
- AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
- Hitachi Deskstar 2TB HDD (7200)
- Corsair XMS3 8GB

I already have a Sapphire ATI 5850 Extreme graphics card from my ill starred attempt to be cheapskate and make it work in my old system, and may well get another to crossfire.

Since I have to eat, and I am not altogether desperate as my current rig is in no danger of dying and can play The Witcher 2 on ultra, I must wait until another pay day (and maybe another as in one part per payday) to get another graphics card and also The New Case.

The New Case should have good cooling, and I'm looking to have some USB 3.0 ports, but I don't want to spend a fortune and I have narrowed it down to the following;-

A bit colourful, but hey I'm a girl!

Bit peeved that the price keeps getting hiked every five minutes

I can't see a lot of difference between this and the HAF X except this doesn't have a window, this is a LOT less money

Love the looks, I am not sure if it has USB 3.0 ports, but anyway, my new MOBO does

What does everyone think of these choices?
 
 
Some interesting prospects there! Are some of those mid towers big enough in case I decide to go totally gaga and maybe get an ATI 6950 instead of the ATI 5850's?

Man that white Phantom would look nice too, I do have the space for a full tower.

I should add that I have a whopping great Zalman 1000HP PSU that I am going to re-use out of my current rig that is absolutely fine...but REALLY big.

any of those cases apart from the a05nb will be able to fit that psu and all of them can fit the 6950
