Silverstone Grandia

My existing rig for now.. (Athlon 64 3400 3 gig ram etc)

But im building a Vista rig in May/June ish which will house an R600 (maybe 8800) C2D 6620 and 2 gig o ram.. not sure on exact stats yet :) i have been trying to decide for months.
 
Well it finally arrived and i have just spent the evening putting my stuff into it..

Some pics included:

Quick pros and cons..

Very nice construction and flawless layout. You can get 6 HDD in this bad boy and 2 optical drives. If you have an oversides PSU you might struggle squeezing it all in..

On the down side, the IR and VFD control panel have some really shoddy software included. Althought the remote included has a lot of functionality the software lets it all down. Why it cant just feature a standard MCE media remote i dont know.

The IR panel also requires a sill ATX power supply extension cable.. its only 2 wires @ 5v yet they have decided to take the feed off the main ATX connector.. So 22 wire extension just to power a IR display..

Anyway some customising and tinkering when my new gear arrives might allow me to fix this one annoying thing on an otherwise perfect case.

Ill take some pics of the Case on my proper stand once my new TV arrives as its current broken.
