Yeah nice man, I'm working on a build around that case as well, the antec 300 illusion, with an AMD phenom 2 x4 955, ati 5770, with an asus M4a88td-evo motherboard, and a corsair 650 PSU. Got that case because my main concern was low cost, mid tower, but great cooling.
BXbomber718 - What are you impressions with the Antec 650W ? Has it impressed you? I have just ordered one after reading a lot of good reviews on it. I had narrowed down the choice of the "Antec Neo Power 650W" or the "Coolermaster iGREEN 600W"
Both were going for £50 so I got a bargain as the Antec retails for double that usually. Will I be impressed with it? I only have a cheapo 750W PSU in my rig just now but I have bought a HD4870 and I ain't trying it out with that piece of crap LOL
When I built my rig, I wanted to keep it within the confines of AMD/ATI as much as possible to avoid conflicts in hardware.. and it worked. Sapphire A9-RD480Adv Crossfire (socket 939 Crossfire board) A64 X2 3800+ OC'd to 2.70Ghz @ 1.35V ASUS HD4850 @ 720Mhz Core, 2.4Ghz RAM 2GB OCZ DDR-400 @ DDR-440 (2-3-2-6-1T) Antec Performance Cooler Antec EarthWatts 380W PSU In-Win MidTower 5x 320GB Seagate 7200.10 SATA II in RAID6 Array Westinghouse 19" Widescreen 1680x1050 with HDCP Total Cost- under $500.
Yes Vista x64 is running smoothly. Since the build Ive only had 2 BSODs but was able to determine was caused them and they never happened again. Runs all my games and apps no problems. If you are considering Vista x64 is the way to go.
