Well except for trying for quite awhile to get that video card in there , it went together fairly easy , and compared to my AMD+2 I was running this thing blows it away .

Here are the specs :

Intel Core i7-960 Bloomfield 3.2GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core

G.SKILL Trident 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD

Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Thank You .

I am in a terrible dilemma. I don't have a PC fast enough to run Bad Company 2.

I just can't talk myself into buying the junk to build one either.

I think it is 11" long , it was a really tight squeeze to get it in this xpc case , but well worth it .

Well . I don't think the parts are going to get any cheaper either .

It looks like the air intake for that vid card is up against the case? Is there a vent in the case for it? If not, I might suggest cutting a hole of some sorts for it.

If there is a downside to Macs, this is it.

Yeah , there are holes in the sides of the case , my temps are staying pretty good for now , but if the get to high , I'll probably have to do some dremeling .
