What case for this monster spec?

[andy_mk3]

There's no need to spend £250 on two WD black drives either, get a pair of these instead.

They are slow. I have them and they are annoying.

I'd drop one of the 580's and go full custom water.

Such a waste of money on that spec I could cry. How can people justify spending so much on a PC? I don't care how loaded you are there are so many better things deserving of money.

Needless to say you could achieve the same performance at half the price for the most part there. Why not buy the CPU/motherboard/cooler separately and OC yourself?

 

[evilpenguin]

full hd and crank all the antialiasing up?

 

[KiiYzOo]

have you changed the spec to allow for 3 580s?

 

[Dark Sun]

More money than sense springs to mind.
