I would also like to know the same thing.

10/10 Looks good man, :toast:

Ive been waiting for someone to post on this case. Makes me feel alot better, seeing actual hardware installed.

spearman914 · Dec 29, 2008

Looks nice. What's the PSU? I only see it saids 850W.

WarEagleAU · Dec 29, 2008

About time Vulcan I was waiting forever. I almost wanted to get that case but I settled on my HAF 932. Also, awesome that your best friend is a chick who loves computers. THAT IS RARE!!!

Jakl · Dec 29, 2008

That looks sick!!! I want to get that Skeleton case, Its sooo dope

Maybe might be getting that when I buy the Phenom II .

That looks really good man.
I see your gonna be using some D9 hyper X's , how high are those clocking?

BTW I was eyeing this thing at FRY's this weekend, and now I know that i'm getting it.

MKmods · Dec 29, 2008

I must say you did an AMAZING job of of putting it together. Well done :respect:

Thrackan · Dec 29, 2008

Cable Management!

Seriously, that's such a nice looking case. Too bad my dusty room doesn't allow me to get one...

Overall I would say they are decent....however I had to put the 4870 in the last x16 slot
It went to hot when OC´ing
I dont know if it´s because of the big top fan - blowing air down, and interferring with
the airstream to the GPU blower?
After moving the GPU the temps went down to "normal"

I am in the middle of a OC event - (and that is not done in 2 hours :ohwell:

) - so I can provide temps and results later....If you are interested

Well....and she is looking not too bad (the chick

)

I most say, after watching your HAF 932 thread and my friends setup - well If she did´nt had the first buy, my first choice was the HAF

Well that was because of the price I went with Kingston....my first choice where Corsair´s
but they cost almost the double. (prices here in Denmark are not the best)

I have not, yet, messed with the memory´s performance - but will soon
Right now they are running 535 MHz (single) at stock voltage.

Your absolutly right, about the cable management, but I figured - it is not final - I have already
moved the GPU and rotated the PSU 180 degrees - so eventually, when I am satisfied with the coooling performance and the OC I will manage the cables.

About the dust - it takes 10 seconds to un-plug the Skeleton - 1 minute to take it outside and blow it clean with air-spray or an air-compressor (remember to have a water-filter on the compressor) - 1 minute to take it back and about 10 seconds to plug it in again - sooo I can live with that

I just saw an review with the Kingston T1 (http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/hyperx8500/

Hmmm...

That is a thing of tech beauty...PURDY!

Nice Build! :rockout:

steelkane · Dec 30, 2008

first build I seen with this case,, really nice looking setup,, also a nice case for some of the new monster Heat sinks.

crush3r · Dec 30, 2008

The irony is that you can't use massive tower-type heatsinks due to clearance issues, i don't think a S1283 would fit :cry:
