HL2, Far Cry, Halo, etc. Any recent shooter should do it. That's a very nice machine, by the way - very similar to mine. I've got an X800 instead, and it's a beast. I've not benchmarked it, but you should get maximum settings on Far Cry and the like with no problem... :yes:

Hmmm...play EVE.
So as through a glass, and darkly

Many names, but always me.

btw this  is the case im using, id recomend it to anyone building a smaller than normal rig. the airflow is really good. you just have to make sure all your hardware fits thats all.

If it can run Pacific Fighters with all the settings maxed out and maintain a solid 60 FPS, that rig can do anything.
Bunny stole my signature :(.

Sorry boobies.

That's a weird case - I haven't seen anything like that before. Small cases tend to be of the overly-trendy variety, ie chrome, chrome, black and more chrome. That one's pretty cool. :yes:

i wanted something that would be easy to carry to move around and wouldnt take up too much space, unlike my other computer which is big, ugly, and quite massive. this case is somewhat smaller than i thought. micro atx does kinda limit your motherboard choices, i had to use a 9.3" x 9.3" mobo (the biggest it would support), but being an msi board with an ati express 200 chipset kinda makes up for it. anyway i need to re-open the case and reposition my tempurature sensors, i dont think they are working properly.

Battlefield Vietnam

Call of Duty
Il-2 Sturmovik
Solitaire :p
Half Life 2
Aliens vs. Predator 2

Pretty much any game will work on a machine like that. You could also send it to me. ;7
