| 869642 | 2010-03-24 07:14:00 | Hi all. Time for me to upgrade. Im wanting a SFF/m-atx tower but still powerful. Budget is $2500. I already have 2 dvd/cd burner drives, 2 hdd's I can use and a 650w psu. Will be used as a everyday pc. For graphic design and as a media center and maybe be sum gaming. I just brought FEAR 1 and 2 and the add on packs. Any help would be mint. |

| 869647 | 2010-03-25 02:16:00 | Toms Hardware just did a "best gaming system for $xxx". The $1500 one could suit you well. 2x 5870 is overkill though. I'd spend the $$$ for the second GPU on a 128GB SSD for OS and games. |

| 869648 | 2010-03-25 03:10:00 | Are you really sure you want SFF/m-atx? really limits your options and costs more. | Battleneter2 (9361) | ||
| 869649 | 2010-03-25 03:32:00 | Thanks for replys. Wanting sumthing same to go side my HP Storageworks x510 NAS server. I like the LIAN LI PC-A05N. |

| 869650 | 2010-03-25 05:02:00 | I try to saty away from m-atx & sff, not much chance of the big cards fitting in there or much of any expansion.... I'm with BM on a SSD instead of 2nd GPU, and I'd also wait to see outcome of Fermi release |

| 869651 | 2010-03-25 06:23:00 | I like the LIAN LI PC-A05N. I really like my PC-A05N. Understated but classy. I like the way it is back-to-front, and upside down internally! A good price and it was really easy to work with. Do a search on You Tube. I'm sure there was a review on it, plus plenty of web sites. |
