Gimme some input on my computer choice

Yikes, make a grille for that speaker. :blink:

Congrats on the new rig.  Any shots of it's innards?

That speaker is really CREEPING ME OUT!

I took a few shots of the innards and I'm transferring them from my phone to my computer as we speak.

edit: Here we go. Again, I apologize for the quality of the pictures. I seem to have misplaced my digital camera so my cellphone will have to suffice. Click the thumbnail to enlarge the picture.

This is the best shot I could get of the inside of my case. After taking this shot, I realized that the X550 video card (the red card in the middle of the shot) is passively-cooled. I'm definitely going to swap this out for a better video card in the future, but I absolutely love passive cooling. The fins should be pointing UP to take advantage of the case fan though. You can clearly see how nicely the cables are tied off in this shot. Also you can't really tell from this shot, but the two sticks of OCZ RAM have a metal wrapping on them. It looks kinda cool, but I don't know what real purpose that serves.


This picture shows how the side vent and shroud meet up with the CPU fan. It also shows off the patina of my 100-year old farmhouse table/computer desk. My MX510 mouse makes an appearance in the very bottom left corner. I couldn't use the included mouse any longer.



My new computer has 8 friggin' USB ports! Two up front and six in the rear. That's kinda cool.
