HI Brian
the case is a CIT MARS LED,
the card is ATI Radeon HD5850

nothing is overclocked at all
yeah the reason i did the build myself if its for my dads birthday so i wanted to build myself to make it a bit more personal.. also got some bits cheap e.g cpu £40, card £70 mb £80 case £30 maybe it been cheaper to buy prebuild but least this way all parts of customised to what i (he) wanted
