That's actually better if you have enough fan to take advantage of it. The Black Ice GTX rads actually outperform the Thermochill rads with high flow/high pressure fans.

I have the Black Ice XtremeIII. It's 40mm thick, and works very well with 3 Panflo L1s that are nice and quiet. It's just not as beefy looking as the Thermochill. I don't think I'd buy another 25mm thick radiator.

I was playing with hooking up an old CRT monitor of mine as a 3rd display just then, I turned it over on its side and the wallpaper went from being green to being blue I swear I've seen pictures of CRT's on their sides before. Maybe mine is using some older/cheaper tech?

Also, I had no idea the 5850 could only do 2 non-display port displays. I was trying to do 2x DVI + 1x HDMI and it wouldn't let me. If you want to do that you've got to have a 5870 So I threw in my old trusty 2400 pro to handle the 3rd one. The 2400 has been incredibly durable. I've dropped it multiple times, ripped out the heatpipe, ran the heatsink under water, and touched it in about every place and it still works fine

Well I took a better pic of the inside of my Sharkoon, took a pic of the outside without the flash so it didnt look artificially shiny (came out a little grainy instead ). The HDD activity and Power LEDs were super bright, so they got unplugged. Will paint the expansion covers black this week:

Thanks I do not believe they are available in the US yet- as a matter of fact I don't think there are any Sharkoon cases available in the US at the moment (hope that isn't due to lead ). This was bought from Sneeky.

Meh, given the fact that I've games less than 1 hour on an 11-day LAN party I'm seriously considering a laptop setup now. And I hate laptops, so theres tons of research to be done.

Got to add to the Radiator Showdown between the PA120.2 vs PA120.4, for the dedicated gpu's.
