    New tower!

    So since I'm upgrading for BF3, my little CM Elite mid-size tower is getting cramped. If I crossfire my 6970, the second one will be touching the PSU, which I don't want to happen. Well, my mom just asked me what I wanted for my birthday, up to $100 (they're tight on cash atm). So I asked if I payed for part of it, if she would get me a $140 case. She said yes, and ordered it yesterday. Here it is :icon_mrgreen:

    Still mid-size, but MUCH roomier than my current one.
