I finally got all the components and assembled it yesterday. It took a bit, cause I did not have a clean table to install, and the room was a bit dark.
My setup is : gigabyte M68X, i5 2500k, Asus 6950 2GB.
I had quite a fight with the 6950, but when I tidied the psu cables it fit just fine...
Sure, but 2x6950s is not so far from 6990 performance wise, so I don't think it's worth the price upgrade :P
And it's still better than the 5970 I had before, so it's fine :D
I was going to order a lian-li v354 before seeing this case, now I'm definitely going to buy this one!
I just have some doubts, what do you say?
1) H60 or Antec KÜHLER H2O 920?
2) 2x6950 or 1x6990?
You're right, I'll wait for the asus model until I can't hold it anymore... consider that I live in Italy and it might take a little bit more for it to be released here! So it just depends whether I can wait for it or not :D
Anyway I was also looking at 6870s crossfired, they look like...
What about any of these two?

They can go x8,x8 on first and fourth slot, and since the case has five expansion slots it should fit both 6950s, right?
Thanks :)
I plan on getting a gigabyte or msi z68 mb which supports sli and crossfire, then go with a single 6950 and then later add another one, just like you :)
I know, but I'd like to see it next to something... e.g. I saw a thermaltake armor a30 next to a coca-cola bottle and that gave me an idea of how bulk it was!
