So I finally got around to updating my PC. My last post here I had a Core 2 Duo, with a Gigabyte Socket 775 Motherboard, ATI Radeon 4870, Thermaltake 700W PSU, all inside a nice Antec 900. Well I'm not going to lie, I had a really really good machine, but it just wasn't cutting it for editing videos/music and Virtualizing OS's. So I updated it, quite drastically I might add.
List of what's new:
CPU - AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black 3.2GHz
Motherboard - Gigabyte MicroATX AM2/AM2+/AM3 M68M-S2P
Graphics Card - XFX ATI Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5
Heatsink-Fan - Zalman Copper LED Ball, with Blue LED
CD/DVD Drive - I swapped out my SATA Asus CD/DVD drive for an SATA Samsung CD/DVD R+ Burner/Drive
Power Supply - OCZ Modular 700W
Case - Cooler Master HAF 922

I also uploaded some pictures of the finished product here: http://glitchpc.com/forums/album.php?albumid=17
There should be 9 pictures, but if you can't see them all I have them uploaded to my imgur account: http://slygathor.imgur.com/my_pc

Let me know what you guys think. :cool2:

Nice!
The HAF isn't my kind of case looks-wise, but I can still appreciate the features it has and it is a good case.
Nice build :)

Thanks! :D Yeah, I didn't really buy it for looks, I bought it because the price was right ($65 + free shipping) and because of how much room it has.

Nice build. Makes me want to get started on mine all the more.

The price was definitely right on that one, nice find!
I'd probably snag one for that price if I was looking for a case, and never mind the looks heh.
