Aww yeah, AMD graphics. You should be all set to install OpenBSD on that baby. Since you have an optical drive, why not buy it on CD-ROM and support the project?
I don't care for disc media, but I will donate $20 because why not. I put the the optical drive in for when I give it to someone else, since many people use them still.

I hope your smoke detectors work.
The Intel 5960X I sold to fund this build has the same TDP, so that is irrelevant. The difference between the AMD and Nvidia card I was looking at was negligble.
OpenBSD ... buy it on CD-ROM and support the project?
Why not buy Windows 8.1 and support their project? Your raging idealism has yet again caused hypocrisy in your reasoning.
@Junker - why the enormous case? You used one slot for your graphics card and almost all your drive bays appear empty. But you have given house room to a hulking great box that could easily be a computer from the 1990s. Yes, you'll claim you have room for expansion ... but you won't expand. You'll build another computer. I'll bet the psw has been bought with 'expansion' in mind and is throwing our 850W of heat as well.
The plan is to install both OpenBSD and Windows. The case was a little bigger than I wanted, but it was the best priced Lian Li that had the features I wanted. The only thing I use the extra room for is wire management since I didn't get a modular PSU. I don't have any intention to expand. I don't have a real use for this computer at all.
