Dark Sub

Lovely! :cool:

What size rad is that 5UB? 280 or 240? If it's a 280, how much room do you have between the MB and the rad/fans?

Does your airflow exhaust through the top? If so does the heat from the GPU make an appreciable difference to the temps?

I have a 280 rad waiting to try in my A05, but I'm quite keen to WC the GPU as well, so I might fit a supplementary 120 rad on the back, if I find that my D5 will cope with both. I'll be using the D5 pump/res combo, so, looking at your build, space should be OK but I'll have to use an external DVD drive. Considering how much use my DVD gets at the moment I think that will only be a minor inconvenience.
 
I have a 240 Radiator, and the fans blow upwards (heat rises), and the fan down the bottom blows inwards. The system is extremely cool currently. Not done any tests yet, just kept it running. Will take it home tonight to game on it and see how it runs. :)

As for the DVD drive, you will notice that I had to shift mine down from the top bay to the bottom for the radiator to fit, you will more than likely have to do the same. Or use an external drive. :)
 
Rich took some snaps too of the system. :)

Here we are, few more shots:

Tempted to get some LEDs or something to give some light inside the case so parts can be seen. But I like it being all dark and mysterious in there. :p
 
How about some of those white monitor LED's Ace Modder's always falshing about to go at the top?

They don't produce too much light, but just enough to see stuff :)
 
yay update on one my fav cases ever!^^
i think going dark coolant made it!
and that big window looks great

maybe some UV stuff might be cool, i duno tho i like it how it is a lot :p

Thanks 5UB. :cool:

I was worried that it might be a 240. Unfortunately the top of my case was cut when I got it and has a cutout for a 280mm grille. I currently have two fans in the top (exhausting upwards) but I really don't think there is going to be sufficient space for the rad and the fans. Pity.

Oh well, I have a V2000 that I can play with, and there won't be any shortage of space with that! :D

Congrats on your build, I think it looks great. The all black theme works really well. I'll keep an eye on it in case you decide on some lighting.
