Hi everyone!

I've been having trouble for the past three weeks, and since I've exhausted everything I can think of, I'm hoping you guys can help me!

I bought a new mobo and GTX 570, built it into my old chassis and everything was working. Then I decided to buy a new chassis and got the Raidmax Cobra, built everything into it and fired it up.

Now my screen has this annoying twitch to it, not enough to look bad but just enough to irritate you. It's a sort of ripple, not easily seen on bright games but very annoying in games with darkness.

This is what I've done so far:
Switched VGA to DVI adapter.
Switched Screens.
Switched screen to gcard cable.
Switched gcards (My old Radeon doesn't twitch, the new GTX 570 does twitch, but it didn't when it was in the old chassis)
Plugged out all additional fans (the GTX 570 needs 600watt minimum, and I have a 600watt. Thought it might be the fans taking power from it.)
Newest and oldest graphics drivers.

Here is a foto of how my pc looks on the inside now.
Could it be because the mobopower runs across the GTX?

I'm really stumped here guys. Hope one of you have experienced this before.

My 7970 did that for a year before it finally pixelated itself to death. Where ever you got that vid card from, id see if you could return it, or RMA it or something. Or it could be your 600w PSU which you didnt name. Id bet on one of those 2.

Alright so I took everything and put it back in my old chassis. Now everything is working fine. What do I do now? Is it the Cobra Chassis?

Sounds to me like maybe there is a short somewhere when you put your gear in that case.
