Yeah it's pretty great, despite being bulky. Going to get more RAM for this thing, expand it to 1.5 GB.
If I could choose a laptop and money wasn't a problem, I'd go with a MacBook Pro however.

lol ah money... the cause of and the solution too, all of life's problems! I have some spares for that very laptop here in a bag if you ever need anything. The parts are no use to me or anyone I know so if you ever need anything for it let me know. I sold the ram and use the hdd as an external but I have most of the others bits

Here's mine. I built this just a few weeks ago, my 1st build ever.
Looking good, bit too flashy for my liking, but still nice.
what are the specs on it?
and also, a bit of cable management on those SATA/power cables wouldn't be a bad thing, but it is by no means cluttered in there. Good job :good:
=EDIT=
for mihir:
You can't tell too well from the picture, but the bottom fan is blowing up, the CPU is blowing up, HDD fan blowing up and the rear fan an exhaust. I, unfortunately, can't fit it to the top because they are 120mm slots, and that fan is 140mm, so won't fit

Oh I wanted to see your new case in action.
Love the case BTW.And how come your CPU cooler is the other way around I have never seen anyone with that kind of setting but I guess will work good for the GPU since extra cooling from the HSF 120mm.
And the Corsair PSUs EPS 8Pin Cable is so long going all the way up behind the case.
Nice setup really nice

2 reasons:
1. The CPU can only be orientated that way because of the clip design, rather than the 4 screws of the Intel CPU's, or of custom AMD brackets.
2. To keep with the airflow of the case, because it can't go front to back
It works really well though:
CPU @ 3.4GHz, 20 degrees idle, max 36 load
GPU @ 700/1500/1100 (626/1350/1050 stock), 45 stock, max 60 load, and that is with 50% fan at most. If I throw it up to 80% instead, it will drop to low 30's idle and 50 under load, but then I can hear my system. As it is now, everything is silent and nice and cold

Nice case man but a couple of things:
You can rotate your cooler so the fan is drawing air from the drive bays, it's easy really. Just take off the cooler, rotate it so it's vertical and slide the lock through the heatpipes. It's a little harder to lock this way though, and it's not obvious you can even do it this way, I'm pretty sure that it won't be in the instructions either.
Brown is such an ugly colour for a motherboard
Hide those cables underneath so they are not visible.
I decided the other day that my next case is going to be a Corsair 650D, unless the Storm Scout II comes out before I get the cash together

@Aastii DUDE take that horrible saran wrap crap off the front!! IT DRIVES ME CRAZY WHEN I SEE THAT!!!!!!

Same!
The amount of my friends with that on their laptops and such, I just wonder why. Most friends answer "to protect it and make it look nice" by making it look even worse with saran wrap? Just rip it off, enjoy the cleanliness while it lasts, by the time its scratched up you'll be buying a new laptop anyway!

Whenever I get a new phone I keep the screen covers on it as long as possible. He just got it, so it's a shiny new toy, I assume he wants to keep it that way for as long as possible
There's nothing worse than scratching/dropping/breaking something you just bought

I know! My point exactly. I'm constantly ripping it off people's laptops when they're not looking. Seriously.

It looks bad when you scratch that crap up. And it's annoying.
And it's not going to protect a case front from breaking or being dropped either. And about the only thing right now that could scratch that thing is the wheel of his chair, which that garbage will not protect from.
Yes, we're OCD about it
