Biggrin Re-Configured

Well I had to re-configure my computer as I
could not get everything in the case I wanted
to install...so I purchased a Full tower case
and upgraded a few components...
config is now...
cpu = FX 8150 AMD8 core processor (same )
mem = 4x 8 GB sticks total 32 GB
Power supply= ultra 1200 watt modular P/S
2x HD 6950 MSI Frozn II AMD Radon with 2 GB mem each (same)
IN WIN GRone White 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Case
with 11 140 mm cooling fans ( including Power supply ) and
one of them cooling backside motherboard behind processor
5.25 bay Hot swap 3.5 drive bay
14x Blue ray combo writer
9 HDD's (8 HDD bays) + hotswap
will be adding a 4 port sata card to use drives 7 and 8
and to use the built in sata hot swap on top of the case
motherboard= Gigabyte 990fxa-ud7 am3+ amd motherboard
and if I continue to have problems with the secondary
sata controller on the mobe shutting down
I will replace it with an ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX MOBO
that I am returning for warranty replacement...

the case was on sale just before Christmas for $114.99

and with everything in it its about 40 pounds
