Excellent case, especially if you are looking for something a little more portable. I went from a CM HAF-X, which I could barely move...
A few things that might save you a headeache...
The fans you need are 120mmx25mm - DO NOT get 35mm or 38mm, you will run into your HDD's. Also, the fans need to have an 'open' screw hole, not a closed. This is due to how DD has you mount the fans.
When it comes to video cards, make sure you know how long they are. You have about 12 inches to work with AFTER you put the fans in. That 12 inches includes your power connector(s). On-the-side power is preferable, however this case is set-up in a BTX config, so your spacing will be tight against the back wall.
For CPU cooling, you actually have a surprising amount of room available to you, though you won't be able to drop some massive tower style cooler.
To give you an idea of performance in this case...I am using the following:
Foxxcon H67S Mobo
Core i5 2500k (Sandy Bridge)
8GB RipJaws @ 1333
Crucial 64GB SSD (SATA III)
WD Caviar Green 2TB
ASUS 5850 1GB
Overall, this machine is performing better than a lot of my Crossfire rigs.
I would probably change out my card for a 560Ti now that they are available. Same performance, but are about 2 inches shorter than the 5850.
Fun Build, HIGHLY Recommended!
The Torture Rack puts the commonly changed components on the top level and the rarely changed items (hard drives, CD drives, PSU, etc.) on the bottom level out of the way.
The Torture Rack also has "wow factor"¯ with acrylic panels. The motherboard tray standard color is clear but is also available in red, blue, green and yellow UV colors. An optional top and front plate are also available for closing up the system after testing or for taking it to a LAN party. Gallery of Photos
The Torture Rack was originally created for internal Danger Den testing. A solution was needed that put the commonly changed components on the top level and the rarely changed items (hard drives, CD drives, PSU, etc.) on the bottom level out of the way.

Author: Temujin Built with top grade quality materials. Extremely sturdy and works perfectly for both permanent system and tech station applications. The optional lid comes in really handy if you like it covered. If you really want to show off, order the optional etched front. It looks so cool when your done building your system in this and any of their cases.
Author: Sam Really impressed with my Torture Rack. Top-notch quality and workmanship makes this a sturdy, great looking product. Didn't really like waiting for nearly 2 weeks before it shipped out but it was definately worth the wait!
