It's to hide the cables coming from the back of the PSU.

Thanks for the kind words. I removed the DVD drive (it was ancient and still needs to be replaced.....someday). The harddrive is mounted in the 5.5 bays (only one thus far)

Nice OC for an 8500. What are your voltages for that?
 
Thanks reflex, having a 13000BTU AC unit blow directly into your case really keeps the temps down even while being at 1.656v on cPU core..+12V@70A if that is what your saying..

Don't pick up the 5830, it just fails compared to the 460.
But before even pickingi up a new graphics card, you will want to pick up a new powersupply so your computer doesn't asplode.

I don't really think I need that much power, however, it would be nice.

I've already planned on buying a new power supply for this computer. The standard 300W isn't enough for this anyways. My friend bought the exact same computer as well as a 650W Power Supply and gets better performance than I do without any other upgrades.

I'm also planning on doubling my RAM from 8 gigs up to 16 gigs seeing as I do a lot more video editing. My RAM gets eaten up from a 10 second comp in After Effects as it is.

If you want to see some of what I do in After Effects, here's a quick 10 second intro I created.
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xf0StPKkjA[/ame]

I think the 460 might actually help with After Effects now that I think about it a bit more... My preview render speeds and final render speeds are quite slow, and I suspect it may be because I have a weak integrated chipset for a graphics card.

I'll look into getting a 460, but for now, I'm just getting Call of Duty: Black Ops - Prestige Edition for my Xbox 360.

Thanks for the tip, Phobus.

Notes: I checked the price on the 460 before submitting my reply: It's actually only about $20 more than the other card I wanted. I think I'll go for it when I get $300 in a few months from now. ($100 a month allowance, ftw?) Sadly, I can't do SLI since I only have one PCI Express x16 slot. :(
