    sme pics to share~ the card readers dun seem to blend wif the casing~ :think: the cpu activity lights would be better if it runs like knight rider's LEDs~ :silenced:

    may add wheels to the base for better airflow and easy moving~ :confused:

    Too bad the media reader is white in colour. You should spray paint it red or black. :D

    the card reader is actually silver wif black bezel~ :sick:

    i think i will move to NAS in the future rather than housing all the HDDs in the casing~ but the price for 4-bays NAS still quite ex~ :doh:

    why not an AMD ?
    my computer is an Intel, is a little old but great, but after see some performance/price comparisons, my next will be with an AMD cpu

    Which AMD CPU specifically?

    Core i7s are awesome (and it's hard to recommend others currently - just look at my signature below)... :)

    AMD Phenom II X6 1055T or 1090T

    I'm using Core i7 as well. The 'cheaper' socket 1156 series.

    AMD Phenom II X6 1055T or 1090T is great value for money if you really need 6 cores, but not many applications will utilise all 6 cores.

    I would go with the LGA1156 motherboard and the Core i7-860.
