:/ Still stuck on desc. I have a few months to look and decide. BTW will PCS try to match quotes from other custom manufacturers. I have one with exact specs for a lot cheaper but I want to buy with PCS

dont know if the xigmatek is good or not but when i looked at them a while back, they wasnt as good, but then again, you just after some extra airflow regardless from what your saying?
well you wana check what exactly they have in detail for example their hard drives, depending on what drive you selected, they could have a cheap standard ata drive, this includes cases and any extra components.

I have chose a caviar Blue HDD on there and a xigmatek psu. They are the only differences in the entire build
Edit: Oh and the Blu-Ray. Same speeds though

aye looks good seems i have some tinkering to do with my phantom case as the side fan is not going to fit with the eco only thing i can think may work is make a aluminium plate to fit over the top back fan so i can attach the eco to the 200mm fan slot. like i said il have to take a look when it arrives but ive just seen a phantom with a eco alc and know for definate.

I've now thought screw it to the phantom and getting the Storm sniper. I only need the sniper so I am getting that. What do you think of my specs? Do you think I have improved them?

I won't be buying it until March when I get some extra cash...
