Now try with Firefox open.  :lol:

I should be able to pull that down by tightening the RAM timings.

Nice build there. That X1900XT seems pretty cramped in there.

Looks Fabby

Now they better start re-designing desks to take these shaped cases!

Case is the bollocks  :D   Never knew they existed, just checked them out 180.- thats around £80, perfect.  Will seriously consider one next year.  Certainly more classy than big towers with LED's and alien faces all over it!

Correct! Additionally the Silverstone Sugo uses the Micro ATX standard, so it will always be more expandable than a barebone kit by Asus, Shuttle, Aopen or Biostar. It's build quality is fantastic and costs considerably less than a high end shuttle kit.
