I got some big Lian Li case awhile back and it's worked out pretty well.  I did have to rip out this gpu support column it had, though, because it got in the way of my Corsair H100'S heatsink.  A sheet of foam was also needed on the back panel tp make the pump inaudible.

I have my computer in a cardboard box with butter liquid cooling.

Actually, I'm using an Antec 902. Got a good price on a refurbished unit, and I've always liked them. Fairly quiet with good airflow. Cable management capabilities could be better, but I don't have my computer in a spot where I can see the internals.

Sure wish I had tri-SLI GTX 680s, but my OCed 7970 will do for now. :)

Anyone gaming on a 120Hz monitor? I can never go back to 60Hz now.

Not yet.... Still at 60Hz... but I don't game much on the PC (even though I have a Huge Steam games backlog!!! LOL)

This is my main monitor --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001553

Not sure why I went with a 27 incher... probably overcompensating for other things... let's just leave it at that...

If I had the money, I'd go for the upcoming 30" Dell U3013. My current monitor is a 19" CRT I bought for $200 two PC builds ago.

Someone tell me about 120Hz monitors. Do they come in 30" size?

I haven't heard of any 120hz monitors that large.  I have a 23 inch 120hz that I game on.  I have a 24 inch IPS right next to it, and you do lose slight color quality and viewing angle.  That said, I won't go back to 60hz for gaming or video, the difference in framerate is fantastic.

None yet. Most of the 120hz (and occasional 144hz) monitors are of 1080 variety, from 23-27 inches. The lot of them are TN panels with all that entails, except for the rare Catleap Rev 2B IPS that can be overclocked that high. 2560x1440 res, but most cap at around 90-100hz to the best of my knowledge.

With 120hz monitors and NVIDIA Lightboost, there's a hack to increase fluidity and motion sharpness by taking advantage of strobing backlights. This is akin to a CRT and as such flicker fatigue may result from such usage.

You can do something very similar, vendor-agnostic, with certain Samsung 120hz monitors.
