Very nice setup there. Only thing I would have done differently would be to have gone with the Biostar Force 939 over the AsRock. Have you overclocked at all? :)
 
glad to see that the zalman coolers fit fine in that case as i think that's what i'll be going with also, how quiet is that psu and the fan that came with it? as i have a enermax 485w that i could use instead if its fairly noisy, and look into getting a good 120mm fan also.
nice looking case that ;)
hope you dont go scratching or dropping it :o
 
Have you any pics with the Seasonic in it, look nice, just wondering what room you had with the bigger PSU.
 
Jeb, the seasonic has just arrived, I'll photo the install for you..
I've not problems with the box going in, but tbh... the ammount of wires is impressive.
I'm now regretting buying a windowed X pack, as keeping things tidy looks impossible.
 
Cheers - look forward to seeing the pics. I've got one as well, and was considering changing the PSU.
 
Looks very nice, good job.

I would also be interested in the clocking abilities of this board. Does it have V core options?

What is it like stability wise? Easy to get set up?
 
:)

i heard they are an off-shoot from asus :) that means they are good!

Also im glad you took a piccy showing the psu because it also shows your dvd writer is the same as mine, a 110dbk. I also have a 109dbk and the plastic bezal and tray are slightly different for some reason.
 
does a standard size atx psu and a dvd-rw fit in alright? the dvd-rw is a standard length one, not the shorter type.
thanks.
 
Yes a standard atx psu will fit but not just any psu,
You need to go for the seasonic range which have the cable exit on the left of the unit rather than the right.
These will just fit with a standard 85mm long drive, Both of my dvd drives are 85mm but just noticed that my cd-rw is 95mm so I doubt that would fit.
It can be very tight to plug the power and data cables to the drive but they do squeeze in.
See the pic bad-co posted above.
 
When was the v2 PSU put into the cases Orifice?

I replaced the PSU in mine as well, there is a thread 'ere somewhere, with a Seasonic. Not sure how loud the original PSU is but a Seasonic is worth it just for the quietness :D
 
No idea, i got one with a v2 in it today, comes with a 24 pin psu connector, 30A on the 3.3v and 30A combined on the two twelve volt rails.
