    rjbg, would it help if I put up my partial review for the 5797 in my thread?

    I'm just about ready to do it anyway, but if it'll help you in some way I'll go do that now.

    Your new rig is pretty much going to mirror my new rig. The only differences are I havent sprung for a turbo memory yet and I got the orange trim. Sometime tomorrow my chassis should be arriving. :) @JGZinv I for one would like to read your review. On a side note has anyone tried using a minipcie ssd ( such as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820609407 )in this chassis yet?
