August 20, 201114 yr Great PC. Maybe I could say you wasting your money a little on the Case, they look really nice but a HAF X or 932 will offer better airflow and is much cheaper. Maybe with the savings you could throw in an SSD or additional HDD. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.

August 20, 201114 yr +1 on that. Save some on the case and get a big SSD for Windows and FSX Di Agron Dell XPS 15 L502X | Intel i5-2540m @ 2.60GHz | 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB) | nVidia GT525M | Seagate 500GB 7200RPM | 15" 1366x768 | 23" LG 1360x768 | Got a hardware question?

August 20, 201114 yr I only got the HAF for its airflow. High Air Flow. I couldn't care if it looked like an A380. So save but if you are really conscious of looks, the 650D or the 600T oth from corsair would be great. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.

August 20, 201114 yr Author I forgot to include the SSD, because its coming from another source: SAMSUNG 470 Series MZ-5PA128/US 2.5" 128GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive. I'll look at the 650D, but I'm partial to full towers. Dan Dan Cole
August 20, 201114 yr I'd go for a SATAIII SSD instead of SATAII, twice as fast.

August 20, 201114 yr Author One other thought comes to mind. I have an older Netgear Rangemax wireless router connected to another computer. Any thoughts on which wireless adapter I can use with the above configuration? Probably a stupid question, but I'm comfortable with that. Dan Cole Dan Cole

That height is usually used for bug radiators and i am guessing you won't have one. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.
