OH I'm sorry, you posted in the Configuration Discussion section, I thought you wanted recommendation on the build, so you ordered it already?

Yeah, nice build.  My 2nd DS system will hit my porch tomorrow.  I cannot wait.  I bought my first DS system almost 3 years ago...no issues whatsoever.

Well, I was gonna have fit issues w/my build.  Didn't have room w/2 GTX 260's in SLI, a soundblaster sound card, and the HDPCTV card w/the HAF case.  But I got a diff mobo though.  I would imagine they would say something if there was gonna be an issue.

riser pretty much extends the port, so the blocked one can be used, but I'm not to familiar with it.

I think that case has plenty of spare room for the video cards.. saw one at micro center....

Not sure about the 3rd pci slot on the mobo though.. that could be tight...

problem is not the case, problem is the pci-e slots and the gpu is so big it covers 2 slots, depending on the mombo
