As far as the case goes it's a Lian-Li with 4 fans and a bottom mount psu compared to an XCLIO with 2 fans and crappy top mount psu location but whatever that's your choice.

OK Thanx Man!!!...Uhm but is the 650w psu gonna be enough to power 2 5830's? That's sorta why I was goin with a 750. Thanx again. :whistle:
 

Yes a high quality 650w is more then enough power for two 5830's,that XFX unit could power two 5850's easily.

Here's THG's own June Marathon build with 5830 x2 and a 650w psu.

Why two 5830's? GTX 460's are better btw even in 768mb.
