It took me about an hour to put it all together. The CPU heat was a biatch to install. Took 2 and half hours to install the OS and all system software and drivers, tweak the bios settings and run the tests. I still have some tweaking to do to the bios settings to get the memory timings correct. I am very impressed with the Cooler Master case. It was a very easy install.

Now my HDD is the bottleneck, so hopefully next month or so I will get an SSD.

Future upgrades include 8 more gigs of memory, larger PSU and a second GTX460

Specs

CPU = AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor

Memory = CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333

Mobo = ASUS M4N75TD AM3 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI ATX AMD Motherboard

Case = COOLER MASTER RC-692-KKN2 CM690 II Advanced Black Steel ATX Mid Tower (Dimensions = 20.80" x 8.40" x 20.10")

GPU = ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

PSU = Thermaltake TR2 W0379RU 500W ATX 12V v2.2 Power Supply

OS = Windows 7 Professional 64bit

Would be a nice case for a media server, raid up a bunch of 2TB's.

Will be curious about fps in F1 2010 with maxed everything Smiley

Yes! It would be a great case for a media server. Its funny that they call it a mid-tower even though 20"x9"x20".

Here is the PRODUCT SHEET for it http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/upload/download/192/files/CM%20690%20II%20Advanced%20product%20sheet_0128.pdf

I too am very curious at the FPS on F1 2010. Hopefully I will get to try it out tonight after my son's soccer game.
