As for the graphics card, that has been the stand in I have had for just under a year now :P Its a Nvidia geforce 210, and I shall be ordering my Gigabyte windforce 7950 this thursday.

Pretty nice and clean. Is that cooler in its final configuration? It is more effective to push air through the heat-sink rather than pull it. Or is your air flow left to right?

My original plan was to get a Corsair Hydro series cooler, this is a stand in for the crappy stock cooler. I know its very counter productive, but it pulls from left to right, although this fights the rear exhaust fan I have no option as it sticks out an extra 2mm or so over my ram, and doesnt fit. I do still plan on getting a H series cooler, but it will be a while off yet.

Well now I've done it. Since the case fans are quieter (installed the lowest speed adapters), I can hear the drone of the CPU cooler fan, and the irritating ticking of the GPU fan (sounds like a hard drive constantly working). Sooo... on order is a NF-P12 PWM fan for the CPU cooler, and this bad boy for the GPU, the Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Plus Cooler. Should be more then adequate without any fans as I have great airflow in my case. Should be really quiet, and the GT 240 fans run at 100% all the time, and this one is getting noisier. Will post some pics when I get it installed. A Guy

Just for fun I put my old cases 140mm fan in on the bottom. This fulls all my cases cooling options, although not a permanent option :P. When I turn everything up its stupidly loud.

Haha, yeah, I made that mistake once too, Was thinking I could silence my rig with new super silent fans and controller...It was as you said more annoying afterwards... And I look forward on seeing those pics,remember "cable management"

And that cooler is a beast!

Also for general info, My new chassis FINALLY arrived to day...but I am at work,so can't use it or even open the package till later today

Good news, that means pics soon

Alsisgevat · 02-13-2012

Yup! I will upload a few of the bare chassis,and with my current hardware installed, but i dont have my watercooling stuf yet, so it will e the same inside as my old one.

Alsisgevat · 02-14-2012

Here are a few quick shots of the chassis, and some components, When I get my Watercooling stuf I will upload some decent shots, My old chassis I think won with looks,but this one wins hands down with features and quility imho. I added a pic where you guys will see how big this chassis is, I placed it next to a South African Amaroela tree! Anyway,the cable management is not what I wan't t to be,but asoon as I have everything installed and running, I will do them accordingly. Comments and critisism alike is allways welcome.

Alsisgevat,
That LL case is huge and it will be interesting to see it filled up with rad's and tubing.

I wish I could have a rig like this. I really do.
