Well, it's arrived ! christmas has come early - sadly i'm in work so will have to check later if everything is ok - apparently the box is fine, which is an improvement on DHL's last delivery.

I will post pics if anyone is interested

My sub 1k pc will hopefully hold up for sometime, in the future when boost is needed i'll add an SSD and SLI.

Thanks very much PCS, the whole process was simple and i'm up and running in no time.

as you can see it didn't quite fit on the shelf like my old pc... the thought did cross my mind to jigsaw a hole for the DVD tray.

how big is the box it comes in ??! how does anyone get that in their loft, currently it's behind my cupboard as errr insulation.

Edit : One thing i'm not seeing in the box is the bridge thing for SLI or does that come when you buy another card - i had assumed it was with the MoBo ?

Great pics, + rep!

We don't usually provide the SLI Bridge by default unless it's configured in SLI mode. If you send us an email we'll pop one in the post for you. :)

Nice spec :)
That Fenrir is ridiculously massive lol

Is that a big dent in the top of your case? Or just dodgy shadowing? :S

It's a good question, i hadn't worked out in this light if it was part of the design or like you say a dent - will have a closer look tomorrow
maybe BG92 will confirm ?

I've got the same case mate which is why I asked, mine definitely doesn't have a dent or funny shadowing.
