How do you like that case by the way? I was considering it, but ended up with the Line M because it's not as deep.
I had an XPS420 with the Q6600 also! That thing was so good to me!

The case is pretty nice actually! I didn't find it too cramped like a lot of people did, but I really took my time assembling it and tried to do as good a job with cable management as I could. Its solid, bland clean looking and pretty well laid out IMO. The front fan pulls in plenty of air, side vent is positioned perfect for GPU cooling and I really like the way they did the drive mounting on the removable, rubber grommet mounted plate. It made doing the cable management a hell of a lot easier and the whole thing can come right out with a few thumb screws.

All in all, its a great setup so far. Nothing I would change, aside from maybe going with the 7950 for another ~$100 just so I knew i had a lot of headroom on GPU performance.
