Hi,

Just after some comments/suggestions on this setup which I am looking to get

*OVERCLOCKED* Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz @ 4.00GHz / Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Motherboard / Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel DDR3 Bundle = H50 Watercooler

ATI 5870 GFX Card
1 TB HDD - Samsung SpinPoint
Case - Either Antec 902 or 1200
Corsair TX 650W ATX
27"/28" Montor

Things I would like to hear about is the case and the monitor

I know that the Antec 1200 is bigger than the 902. Other than having more drive bays is there any other advantage to getting the 1200 over the 902

Also monitors. I am looking at either a 27 or a 28". Seen the HannsG HG281DJ 28" which does 1920x1200 but is about 5ms and costs about £280 or a Iiyama ProLite B2712HDS 27" which does 1920x1080. Any one know what these monitors are like. Any good or should I avoid like the plague

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and comments
 
The 1200 has more room for larger gfx cards and would be better suited if you wanted to go for an sli set up in the future. Particularly as you are also going for watercooling setup....not sure how well the H50 will cool an overclocked i7 930.
