Hello,

Looks sweet to me, apart from the need for the "Thermalright T-Rad2 VGA Cooler (ATI / NVIDIA)"

I dont think it is needed, the 280GTX has a pretty good cooler on it already. Was impressed my my one.

Edit - Just read up that the Thermalright T-Rad2 VGA Cooler is not compatible with GTX 280 & GTX 260

Looks a very nice setup mate. Don't know if the 280GTX are still going cheap - they were on offer saving about 80quid. I would go for a 1TB drive unless you have other disks to slot in, 500GB isn't much these days, or add another disk for backup/storage. The OC Palm is a bit of a gimmick, but it's a cheap gimmick so why not? That lot will clock nicely.

Id suggest going to a larger case. Fitting a lot in a 900 can be tricky without a lot of time and effort put into it.

maybe a 1200?
