ROG Expander

No case can fit a card on one of those extenders due to it rising to far up from the motherboard.(and the length of it)

Pretty pointless unless you don't mind having your parts outside 24/7.

I think if was only meant for tech-station enthusiasts Still, its pretty narly!

That's just CRUEL...

 

[Wile E]

Thanks for the appraisals



Only problem with that is that the layout will dump the heat from rad back into case. TJ07 would be a better choice for water. But I prefer air personally so these were best choice.

I'd rather take in cool fresh air into the rad and dump the heat into the system, rather than to push the system heat thru my rad.

Finally finished changing my HAF 922 and 932 for two Silverstone FT02's. Replaced the top 120mm fans with Skyte SlipStream 1900rpm's and put Gentle Typhoon 1850rpm's on both heatsinks.

i7 @ 4GHz full load hovering around 63C
GTX 275 and the 2x GTX460's full load hovering around 55C
(sorry no idea what idle temps are)

Going on holiday soon, but come the end of september will be putting the 2x 460's in the RED ft02 and possibly 2x GTX 470 in the BLACK.

So for now :

only thing i liked about the FT02 case over my RV02 is the HDD bays are a much better idea other than that they are pretty much the same on the inside

they look great though

Well done KieX, both those rigs are very well put together I like the black one the best w/ the dual 460 Cyclones

No, that's just.... no.

 

[pantherx12]

It's not so bad if you can whip up your own case extension though.

 

[CDdude55]

Exactly.

But again, it's only meant for those people that have no need for a case.(but the extenders are in fact awesome overall)

Yeah, if I ever switch to water think that's the best way to do it.

The RV02 I believe has more space for PCI-E cards though. Just realised on the black case that if I were to go SLI i can't have physX with the UD5 board layout. And even if I had the EVGA's layout, with any optical drive simply can't run a third card. But none of my favorite games use physX so don't mind, yet a bit dissapointing.

 

[Wile E]

No, that's just.... no.

That's the only way to go, imo. Cases are a hindrance.

To an extent they are, but it depends on the person.

Personally i see a lot more disadvantages of running computer hardware outside of a case.

buy a shorter DVD burner I don't have a problem with my Pioneer DVR212S getting in the road of me putting a card in the last PCIe slot on my M3A32mvp-deluxe mobo if I wanted to

as you can see it's barely longer than the 5.25" bay itself

How much space is there left to put a 120.3 rad in the bottom? Have any idea, or possible to measure if you can? Thank you anyhow, I just haven't came across any of these cases water cooled, not that I remember at least.

 

[sneekypeet]

I'm betting he has like 400mm since the fans on the floor are 180mm each.

 

[Athlonite]

it's about 500mm along the bottom on the inside there is however room to sling one under the case anything around 38mm or slimmer would fit there hose holes in the bottom of the case at the back end aswell

 

[Chicken Patty]

Thanks guys, I'll check this out in detail another day, see what I can find.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

are those the silverstone fans?

they're freakin expensive lol

like 20€/25$ here

love the rig btw

 

[Athlonite]

sweet as CP .... planning for a water cooling loop in one of these case is a bit of a mission not to bad if you only have 3 or less HDD's you can place the pump under the HDD cage

 

[MT Alex]

My rad with 38mm's is 84.5mm thick. There would have to be some underside slingage.

yup they are um they are only cost me 57 bucks for the 3 here

err WxHxL (w=120mm, h=38mm, l=??? however many 120mm fans you can put on it + a bit for the inlet/outlet connectors)
