    anyone know or use a DIYPC Skyline-07-R ??

    I doubt its the best case in the world given its price but it seems to be a pretty high value option. For what its worth the newegg reviews are not bad. I have out grown my stainless steel antec (my AX1200 will not fit) and need a replacement. for 80bucks shipped this seems pretty hard to beat...

    WHY did AMD decide to kill the FX branding with bulldozer?
