my mate has this case. the blue lights are incredibly bright - enough to illuminate a poorly lit room. he's had to cover it with some tape to reduce the brightness :D

I have this case but no water cooling. I run an i7 920 @ 3.4 with 3 GTX280's and a 30" @ 2560x1600. Crysis was quite nice. :-)

@LinguisticPedant

It was by no means a responsible purchase, however after a 4-year upgrade hiatus, it was a fun project. I bought it all in January and am hoping that it will be a long time before I find a game that causes any lag at all. Currently, however, my favorite title is DCS Blackshark, which so far is CPU limited, thus the overclock.

I hope that changing out the GPU's is all I'll have to do over the next couple years.

PC Specialist's Vortex i950 is an impressive machine with plenty of overclocking headroom that will happily chomp its way though any game you throw at it, but it doesn't stand out from the crowd in terms of value and thanks to a few niggles and puzzling component combinations it fails to win our hearts.
