    I would get a Corsair HX750 over the Antec Truepower 750.

    Agreed. The HX750 has a 7 year warranty, fully modular (best, thing, ever) plus it runs with a single 12V rail. You'll especially need the single rail as multi-rail PSUs are a PITA when it comes to beefy graphics cards and such as you have to worry about current draw per rail etc. Single rail means you just plug everything in and don't worry.

    On a side-note, unless you have a crap-tonne of hard drives to go in, have you thought of downsizing to mATX? You can get all that stuff into a very compact mATX case while still having plenty of options. My current mATX case can fit 2 dual-slot full length cards in SLI, 5 fans, full-size PSU and 4 hard drives while still having a handle so I can pick it up easier than the groceries.

    Cheers for the info on the Corsairs guys, hadnt actually considered them but will check it out. Certainly sounds like its worth a look

    I had looked at a smaller case but love the HAF X and actually got a really good price on one

    Re: The PC Gallery

    Ok as promised here's some pics of my desktop etc. apologies for the quality of the pics I just took some quick pics with my phone

    Firstly this is my existing multi head desktop and workspace. The displays are quite old now as it is from my original setup from over 7 years ago, the plan is to move to 3x27"WS in a 3x1 configuration and keep the existing 21"WS to go above the row of 27"WS's

    Desktop-2.jpg

    This is the tower, it's water cooled (CPU and GPU's) with the radiators on top

    Tower-1.jpg
    Tower-2.jpg

    I won't go into the specs just yet as I have a little more work to do on it. I will post an update when I am able to get the new screens and video cards sorted

    Oh and YES if you look hard enough you can see the 1/2" speedflo fittings used on the water pipes internally.

    I've got an i7-4770 with 16GB Ram running on an Intel Motherboard.

    No point in speccing up the CPU etc. without chucking in a fast SSD.... I've got a Sandisk Extreme II 480GB SSD (boot) and a couple of 2TB Hitachi 3.5" drives for storage.

    Running 8.1 which I could take or leave......

    Thanks, would you mind to pm us with more details as I'm convinced to go with similar specs!! Same even HD or even smaller SSD to boot OS & use multiple sata drives for storage etc..

    Really nothing special or exciting with this setup. This was the order:

    Antec ATX EarthWatts 750W
    CoolerMaster Silencio 550 case with USB3.0 SDCard Audio
    Intel BOXDB85FL B85/uATX/4 DDR3-1600/LGA1150/INTEL GFX/GLAN/USB3.0/HDMI/8CH
    Intel Core i7 4770 LGA1150 CPU 3.4Ghz 8Mb Cache Haswell
    Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 CMY16GX3M2A1600C9 1600MHz Dimm, Unbuffered, 9-9-9-24, Vengeance Pro Black
    Pioneer BDC-207DBK 8X Blu-Ray Combo Drive SATA Black OEM

    It's running on dual 24" Samsung 244T monitors which I've had for years.

    If you're wanting a smaller boot drive (The 480GB SSD is worth almost $400 alone). This would be my choice:

    Intel 240GB SSD 530 Series OEM SATA III 6Gb/s, 20nm

    They are just over $200 and they are nice and quick. I've got this exact drive running in my Lenovo X230 i7 and it really performs well.

    In terms of Storage Drives, any of the Hitachi's will do the trick, I'm running 2 of these:

    Hitachi 2TB Ultrastar SATA 7200RPM 64MB Enterprise


    I would liken this setup to a mild stroker. No it's nothing fancy and the case is incredibly boring, but it just does the job and has plenty of grunt when you need it.

    I've been working with some of the 4th Generation (ie: Haswell) i5's and you could easily get away with a mid-high range i5 instead of the i7 because they really do perform quite well for most needs.....
