Here's a dynamite case; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133073 That said, it is a full tower, a bit above budget, but I've seen this in person, and it's very nice looking, the grille is a finer mesh than the Antec 900/1200 series, so it presents itself as less "machiney" and more refined.

As to the memory issues, I just pop GSkill modules out of the box, plug them in and they seem to work right off the bat. I never overclock them though, so you might want to get a second opinion from someone who does.

Video walkthrough/preview here

You'll find that the 900 and 1200 are pretty much identical. They share the same depth and width. The 1200 is just a bit taller (three 5.25" bays taller), but the depth of the case makes fitting longer cards (inc the 5870 and 5850) a snug fit also.

Was waiting for that to come Greg!

here is some more info about my psu:
Earthwatts power supply:
-80mm low noise fan
-80 plus certified
Active power factor correction rails:
dual 12v outputs (17A each) & +3.3v (20A), +5 (20A)
i have no idea what that means, but can it support crossfire with 2 5770s? or just the 5850?
i already have that RAM (almost 2 years) never failed me
Im still leaning to the antec 900 it just seems to have alot of good features at a fantastic price.
EDIT: i am leaning to the haf 922 so much bigger! and can fit a hd 5970!
EDit2: Is the lancool as large as the 922?

After a bit of research it seems you probably have either this (EA-380); http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371033 or this (EA-430); http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371034

But NOT this (EA-500); http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371035

IMO, the EA-380 or the EA-430 are NOT sufficient for the grandiose upgrade schemes that have been presented. For example, triple graphics cards.

You can go here; http://www.antec.outervision.com/ to calculate your PSU needs when you've settled on your new configuration.

The Antec 900 is a great case. It does have one weakness, and that is the supplied fans. Their speed can't be set without going inside the case, and they can't be adapted to a fan controller panel without great difficulty.

I have one of these cases and I love it dearly. I set the fans on medium and let it go at that. I don't game, so I could really get away with leaving everything on low. As I always say; "your results may vary".

my psu is 500w....so it cant be any of the ones u said COULD be =/ http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129024&Tpk=antec sonata III

im 90% sure that it is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...a&AID=10446076&PID=3675192&SID=skim951X490024

because i opened the case and on the sticker on the psu it said : model/ EA-500D
i did the antec psu calc and it says its enough but if one of you guys could do it for the following (i dont trust myself)
2 5770s
asus p5q3 deluxe
haf 922 (fans)
e8400 (i want to overclock to 3.5ghz or maybe even 4)
h50 water cooling kit
dvd cd write and read combo
~10 usb devices
4 sticks of ddr3 ram each 1gb
x25 80gb ssd
2 7200 rpm drives
extra 200mm fan

500W for 2x HD 5770 could be stretching it slightly. Go with the Corsair 650TX to be on the safe side. Higher wattage will also give you sufficient headroom for overclocking.

OK, I did link this PSU! The trouble is that Antec is claiming 22 Amps on 2 12 Volt rails, not the 17 Amps each you are claiming. So, I can only conclude that Antec changed its mind about the capacity of this PSU, you can't read, or they put the wrong specification sticker on it!

So, yes I did link this PSU.

That power supply isn't going to be strong enough right?

well thats what ritwik7 says =/ i dont trust calc so im not surprised. im thinking of getting http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153117 best to get a psu that wont need upgrading. this is made by thermal and the thread about psus said thermaltake is good .

I know you are ordering from Canada but for comparative sake this one is better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006

Oops I see after viewing the Canadian Newegg the Corsair is much higher in price!

That Thermaltake should do fine.
