recoding the dts-HD to dts is a little dirty.

I'm running a very similar setup to you.
I've seen an i5 2500k running and yes it is faster. But imho not that much faster to make it worthwhile an upgrade. I've yet to come across a game that makes my i7 920 sweat. Maybe native SATA3 would be handy other than that though I don't think it's...
Late suggestion... What didnt you mount the psu in the front at the bottom and leave the HDD bays intact? then just run a kettle extension from the back panel into it. Like on the Lian-Li A05.
I have a soft spot for the 6600 GT, a quick look at my gpu history will show you why.

Hang on... Hes mature enough to play a game with guns and monsters etc. which here in the UK at least carries a 15 certificate. But not to have an email account? :confused:
There was a Shogo 2 in development a few years back but it fell off the wagon.
Shogo was a good game, arguably the second best FPS of 98. It would be remembered better if not for a little game called Half-Life which kinda overshadowed it.
Burst fire at the chest.
Fire a 4-5 round burst at the chest. First few will impact the chest, if hes already taken dmg hell go down. the lost of the burst will hit the head.
www.overclockers.co.uk Seem to be getting them in drips and drabs. Currently have some Gainwards in stock
www.scan.co.uk Have a couple of brands in, but not the ones you listed.
My advice would be to just check the big sites every day (twice a day even) and wait till they turn up.
