****Show Us The inside of your Case!****

Heh, I could probably toast some marshmallows out the back of it.. Temps inside are surprisingly good though, with all the fans at max the top card only gets to 76°C and CPU to 65°C after a full 3DMark run.

That's actually pretty impressive!

When I had an air cooled card, it would idle at about those temps, and get upto 80-90 under load, and that was in a HAF-X!

Currently though, I'm running a pair of 7970s with full cover blocks being cooled (along with my CPU) by a 360 rad, and they sit at about 60C 24/7 whilst mining :)

Very nice, would like to have a crack at water cooling at some point but wasn't feeling brave enough for this build, and I'm not sure I could've afforded it right now anyway. And I do love how small this thing is. :D

There's quite a contrast in the noise it makes though, it's the quietest PC I've ever heard for general browsing and whatnot, but both GPU fans at 100% is almost like gaming with a small vacuum cleaner on your desk. :p I've gotten used to it but for demanding games, headphones are highly recommended!

That's the main reason I got watercooling. It's so much quieter! Whenever I play games, I can't hear the PC running over the sound of the speakers (and I don't have it stupidly loud either :p)
 
Having recently upgraded my Graphics cards, and cooling I thought I would update with a few photos.

Not claiming it is anything compared to some of the works of beauty on here, but it is as powerful as an OX!

Looks great Martin, if that were me i'd probably look at buying a 24 pin extension cable in whatever colour suits your scheme rather than have those multi coloured wires on show.

I'm thinking of changing to the 600T when i do my next upgrade, i currently have the 650D which is a fantastic case, their is just something about the 600T in white that i like.

That looks really nice, but I'd look at getting an i7 as you probably are getting small bottlenecks with that i5.
 
Hi Shivy,

I agree, but a matter of budget and when and what to spend it on.... maybe when the intel updated devil processors hit the shops - if I can afford it!! then do some really decent benches
