Hope you enjoyed my build any comments would be appreciated ;)
 
Your cable management owns mine all day long! Although it's given me some ideas, nice one. You've definitely got an advantage with the H55N's 24 pin socket location, the GF9300's is smack in the middle of the case. :(

Impressed you got a 3.5" drive in there as well, I've got a 2.5" but good to know you can slot one in there. What bracketery did you use?
 
Thanks for your compliments,:)
its been hard work but i think its been worth it. I have just fitted dvd drive and tray, will post some pics tomorrow (poor light)
temps are good

dashboard 32c
prime95 54c
motherboard 26c
gpu idle 36c
gup 100% 76c

this @ 3950mhz

harddrive fitment: I removed the rivits from the top bar and refitted it upside down but you have to drill new holes for the side rivits, but before you refit the top bar you have to drill out the bottom two front holes to 3.5-4mm, they are the same spacing as the holes on the side of your harddrive. I fitted 2 small rubber o-rings to each screw to stop vibration throughout the case, to secure the bottom of the harddrive I used 2 pieces off 15x10mm angel plates secured to the case and harddrive again with 2 o-rings on each screw as you can see from my pics it fits nice and snug, I hope that helps.

The three 50mm fans are runing at 5v and are completely silent but they are still moving quite a bit of air, as I thought, the space between the rear panel and psu was just a bottle neck for heat to escape, it has now got a choice through the psu, rear fans or the side panel.

More and more I look at this build, the more and more I want to strip mine back down and paint the innards. Not to mention do some cable tidying!

now that the case is together it sounds very quite and its idling at 34c

i was considering to fully water cool it but the temps seem nice and low :)

over the weekend will do some benching and post some screen shots
 
Nice. Would love to replace my rig with something like this. Specs are way better than mine too and its half the size! How much did it cost you?
 
Been doing some testing today, but not sure what's a good 24/7oc on this motherboard ?
