I recently relocated(again) and had my rig shipped via USPS(BAD idea). When it arrived, I almost fainted. :cry:lol The case-Thermaltake Armor- was destroyed beyond all recognition and everything inside was loose and bouncing around. The mobo ( MSI P55-GD55) was still attached to standoffs, but the mounting plate was dislodged and severely bent. After I removed the board from plate, it still retained a major warp to it. After removing everything and rehousing it in a POS case, would you believe EVERYTHING still works?? I sent a testimonial email w pics to MSI, and they posted it in their newsletter, and are considering RMA! http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/MSI.ComputerUS See pics here- http://www.bigboyz-toyz.com/page.php?14

Good to hear that. Corsair 600t or 800d would be my choices.

Ooh. That 800d Obsidian is SWEET:) Had a chance to pick up an Antec 900 cheap, but since I'm on water anyhow I don't need all the fans it has (and all the dust it sucks in either) lol
