shinigami8671- Very nice dude! Mind me asking how that cpu cooler is supported? It looks huge and if it may break the board, or does it have several screws etc? Itherway looks like a beast, very nice

Thanks mate

Its supported by the usual 4 screws and backplate etc.
Plus its not that heavy, it does look like it but its really light.

Since my last post in Feb one of my case fans developed an annoying buzz that could not be rectified – suspect a faulty bearing. So I replaced them all with the Corsair AF140’s which also added a little flair. Very pleased with how they turned out. Unfortunately while I was purchasing the fans, the cashier quietly rang in an additional EVGA GTX 980 Superclock along with an EVGA SLI connecting bridge without me knowing. I did not notice the error until I got home and the store was closed. I hate it when that happens!!

Looks real good, society misfit. I bet you thought those were expensive fans when you paid.

Very nice society misfit.

Everything in it's place and neatly.
That added video card kind of balances the picture. That is why the cashier added the card. Some cashiers have photographic training.

I'm wondering what kind of air flow this case has to keep up both of those cards.

Thanks!

Agree – that second card does fill in the void that use to be there.

The cards run pretty cool. Mid 30’s idle and mid 70’s when stressed with Furmark. Don’t know how much of that is due to the airflow of the case or EVGA’s new ACX 2.0 cooling (or even Nvidia’s new GPU!)

This Rig makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside
