Well spotted yep i dont know why i done that i should have at least got 750w i was only going to have one hard drive but i keep downloading so i keep adding hard drives and im a sucker for if there an empty bay then it should be fiiled as for the sli it was abit of a waste as i dont use it much and really what i no now you should only go sli if you love your benchmarking if not spend that little more on a single card.
I love my case,mouse,keyboard,monitor i which id went alittle different on the build ie the 6400+ really burns hot air cooling just wouldn't cut it think that's why they don't supply a fan with it
The next things to come are 750W psu if not more
then liquid cool the:gfx
Memory Liquid Cooling:
Trouble with this gaming and computer stuff its a life time of upgrading just when you think your happy lol your not content.

Thats the old workhorse... I forgot to take pics of its guts.. but you all know roughly what it looks like.
My main monitor on the left - which I run my PC and and PS3 on currently.
The laptop is dual displayed with the Sony 17", and the main PC will also be dual displayed with that monitor as well (until I can afford another 24")

If I ever get a bigger room, I am thinking of doing a custom PC desk - I am sick of seeing all these wires and never seeming to have enough room. I have a brother monitor to that Sony I cant use
Pics of my gear :)
