The build

The computer is overclocked from 1.8GHz to 3.2GHz. Had to up the voltage from 1.325v stock to exactly 1.52 for stability as the voltage drops to about 1.49v under full load. This results in an 77% boost in performance from stock. It can however get a little warm at about 70-75c according to Core Temp. I need to lap my CPU & Tuniq. Lastly I also bumped up my 8800GTX to the same speeds as the Superclocked version @ 621/1000. Got a score of 12192 on 3DMark06 when I have my CPU at 3.3GHz but its not fully stable at that speed. I have 7x120mm Apevia LED fans, 2x120mm Cooler Master fans, a Vantec Nexus fan controller, an Antec VCool slot cooler and a SilverStone FM121 120mm fan in my Tuniq Tower. Also note the usage of tons of zip ties on the wires. Without them the case would be such a mess. I did add some cable sleeving to the fan bracket fans as well to help keep the cables under control, you can see it in some of the pics. The case is fairly quiet, but when the fans are all up this thing starts to get very loud...

Must admit, I do like these cases. If only they did a mATX version, then I'd be sold. :)
