miloshs, about the rivets in the HDD cage, I simply drilled them out, yes. I have a pop-rivet gun so I actually put a couple rivets back in the bottom piece of metal on the 5.25" bays to make it secure/sturdy. It doesn't have to hold much weight so I'm not worried about it.
My DVD burner is in the bottom-most bay & my current single HDD is right above it, then the 2 fans above the HDD.

This is not a final "draft". :rolleyes: :laugh:
I'll most likely sleeve some PSU cables & fan cables. Here's a couple pics of slightly different angle(no filters=tiny bit if dust since I just used the air compressor 2 days ago): Better pics & cleanliness in the future. Someday I'll get 2 Black sata cables w/ 1 or both ends 90°. P.S. I know my cable management is lacking right now, it wont be in due time. :D
The Silver Ultra PSU cables stand out alot.......would be good w/ a Silver and something themed build, not my Black-Out.
Edit: I have no idea what the red is on my PSU, probably a light on the camera.

Weird, I assume you put the HDD's in the CDrom bays. But you planning on tossing a rad in the bottom front to use that space, and why the flipped filter?

Got tired of the cheapo case... figured I'd get a new one (and splurge this time) since i keep getting cheapo cases and replacing them every 4 months. This one is by far the best case I have ever owned - all brushed aluminum, no plastic... window (soon to have a cs appliqué).

Going to add a stackable 360 swiftec rad for the quad core upgrade (the current one struggles a little by itself with folding w/ the 53 CFM fans (tricool) and 2 GTX 260's in the loop)

Wow, that is one nice looking PC you got there! The only thing I don't like about it is how the window is on the right side of the case, I like it on the left side, but that's just me.

Yeah its a little weird to be honest... but i got it for like $80 bucks less than the non-reverse ATX version.

EDIT: the reverse window helped a bit when lazy-mounting the 360 rad too, since it allows for the back fan to act as the mount in the center of the rad... my original plan was to drill mount holes in the top, but this ended up being better aesthetically.

Im also subscribed to your build with the i7 and the bloodrage... that's a sick looking rig.

Umm, I don't know what your talking about there, you must be thinking of someone else. I don't have an i7 build, I have a Phenom II build.

Yes, HDD is in CD/DVD bay. Someday I'll have a rad, yes, but mainly the HDD cage was blocking airflow big time and removing it was a good way to stop blocking airflow(if a fan is in the front, not in my "case" though).
i think better air flow with the filter like that.

hhd fan->bottom fan->hsf->exuast fan

i need to get some better fans !
Actually, a fan's airflow too close to a grill will usually make more unwanted noise, so I have the filter like that mainly to raise the bottom fan so it's quieter than if the fan was right on the grill since I didn't cut out that 1 grill, but I cut the rear out.

Starting w/ the front, airflow in my case is like this: airflow is -->
Front top fan-->Fan "behind" HDD-->CPU HSF-->Rear case fan (wind tunnel=real low temps for upper 1/2 of mobo/case).

Bottom fan doesn't disrupt airflow any for me(low speed fan simply sending a bit of cold air to the GPU).

Probably. Having a clean room has always been on my list...somewhere.
Wow.......2 words: Air Compressor! :twitch::shadedshu:eek: :laugh:

P.S. Sorry for the delayed response. Within the next day or 2 I'll get a few more pics to show more of PC. Yes, I have a couple blue LED fans, 1 came w/ the case and 1 was a gift, so I use 'em. :p

@ phanbuey:

What waterblocks are on your graphics cards? Never seen 'em before.

Its the standard swiftec MCW60-R (rev 2) with the GT200 Ramsink plate... I figured I would be reusing the VGA blocks as Ive had the CPU block for like 4 years now (and will buy a $8 i7 or whatever mounting plate for it when/if I can upgrade). So there was no going the GT200-only block route.



Here is the block

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835108095 - $35!!!

Each block cost me $60 with the plate and the GT200 adapter, and they perform great - the cards never break 48C at full load. VRM cooling could be a little better, but its still better than stock so w/e.

Won't be any better, instead of pulling air from outside the case it's now pulling air thats already in the case and a bit from outside.

I also have those rubber screw things. I wish i bought them before cause they are great. Just don't pull to hard on them.;)

Btw Thrackan. i you need a good watercooling shop look at http://aquatuning.de/. They also sell here but i ordered from the German site because they have more and a a bit cheaper. Shipping is the same i believe.

I know, I got my Heatkiller block there. Their Dutch shop just opened, so I expect their prices will get in sync soon.
