Yes, I'm using a bedstand. Story behind this is that I installed my new E8400 on this board, which I had to remove from my Silverstone case (you can see the cable mess of it)... and that whole stuff will move into a Cosmos S (not 100% sure). By the way, thats your PSU there Paulieg:toast:

Notice how the hardware is clustered with fans:



Those two 120mm fans do a good job on keeping NB and MOSFET heatsinks cool. Or at least you can touch the heatsinks now without grilling your finger.

Well my pc is nearly done now (for the moment);):laugh: I only have to buy a fan speed controller so i can use the switches for some modding i have in mind.
I want to mod it so i can place it on the inside of the case. drill four holes, dismount the switches that control the fan speed from the pins. Then stick the pins threw the case and put the switches back on the pins. Should work.:confused::D Untill then a few updated pics.

I was thinking to get a second HD 4870 1Gb when prices drop a bit. But i am kinda chicken about my psu. After reading some reviews, one says it can be done others recommend a 700w psu.

@miloshs

Yeah i really like your case man. Simple design but really nice.

@kyle

Yeah it's kinda orange now but i ordered another dye bomb so it should become more red.
Also i ordered a uv case led so the red can pop a bit more.

I dunno man... Corsair PSU's are really good... i could see your 620W running a CF rig that would need a 700-750W PSU from some other manufacturers. But on the safe side i'd say ~850W should be sufficent, although some pps say 1000W should about do it...

P.S. i bought some rubber screws for my fans, and plan on installing them tommorow, and maybe just maybe take out the HDD bay, and mount my HDD in 5,25" area together with a fan... we'll see how that goes. Getting up at 0700 hours and starting on my project. Reorganize my cables too, outside and inside of my case...
I'm up for some major cabling tommora' :rockout:, and then a photoshoot using days light, tripod, DSLR... hope it turns out as i expect otherwise i'll be :shadedshu

Dunno about you guys, but when i change something in my case and around (eg. a new card or a new table) i need a bit of time until i get my mind sorted out on what to do and where...

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.

Did a little more cable management when I got my new CPU, MOBO, and HS.



I replaced the fan on the S1284 with one that pushes more air and can be controlled with my fan controller.

I can't see nothin' mate... Seriously, put that camera on some books if you don't own a tripod. And lowering the photo resolution to 1024x788 would help...

Like the green tho.. :rockout:

I already did manage the cables, that's about the best I can do without getting crazy a drilling holes in my case, which I really don't want to do.

What did you do your 1284? Mine's shiney at the top..

I didn't do anything to it, I just turned the flash to a different setting.

I'm liking the green you got going on there, I was thinking about getting some green fans to change from blue every now and then. But you should resize your pics, those pics will eat away at people's bandwidth.
