Notes

Something is wierd with my 3D Mark score... I guess I'll check it out later. I finished this a few months ago and wanted to share it with everyone :) Airflow is pretty good despite this case being 19 inches high by less than 7 inches wide. I cut a bunch of fan holes that you can see in the pictures and I have 2 pots controlling them so it is pretty quiet. According to Nvidia system monitor my temps are.. Idle CPU=37C GPU=32C MCP=57C Disk=35C System 31C The hardest part of the build was cutting the giant hole for the 3x120 rad on top. Getting the screw holes lined up perfectly took a long time. For the most part this build is done but I still want to pretty things up a little more. I plan to use this case as long as I can and hopefully new motherboards can fit in. It was also my first watercooled build and I didn't want to use brand new parts. Also, I still need to cut the top piece of plastic to fit around the rad but I am waiting to buy some pattern sheet metal to go over the rad.

A P67 would be cool because I am still on a 790i and the next upgrade I get will probably be to the new AMD chips unless they suck or I have a reason to stay with intel :p
