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

[RenoRanes007]

I've noticed a fair few cases with a fan in the bottom, are you using them as extraction or intake? I would have thought Intake would suck in dust and lint from your floor/carpet/shelf etc? and with such little room under most cases, does it make much difference at all? I ask as I have a spare fan that I could put in the bottom of mine but wonderd if it was worth it?

 

[TUNSTALL_NICK]

the 690`s have filters to stop the dust getting in,there`s a fair gap underneath the case so it`s good clean, cool air going in.

i have two intakes bottom and front.
two exhaust`s top and rear.
temps running at 4.2 are idling at 34 and at full on 56.

Seriously, sort out that cable management? Does your PSU have an insane amount of cables or something?

Here's mine:

God that memory brings back some memories, as I had the corsair LED type in my AMD FX55 system

another cm 690 ii with freezer 13.

I was thinking of putting my top 140mm in the same position but was worried it would suffocate the HSF a bit...

Haha, the RAM is brilliant! DDR2-800 that can hit 1000MHz at cas5!

P.S., I only have it because it was salvaged from a pre-build that I bought a couple years back.

I thought you could only get that memory as DD1, as I havent come across it in DDR2/DDR3.

Here is my system now I have re-fit the Fenrir Evo so it exhausts towards the top fan. It turns out I can get the mobo into the Storm Scout with the heatsink on but it required some tricky handling and fitting cables before it was flat.

I have had plenty of practice now because I completely failed to apply enough MX-3 on my first attempt at refitting. My idle temp was over 50 degrees C

Sorry for the quality of the pics, it is a combo of bad lighting and mobile phone camera.

I can just get the back on with that spaghetti wiring

Not the neatest cabling but 10 SATA devices makes it awkward and I just couldnt be bothered spending anymore time trying to get it looking pretty (afterall the sides have no windows and it is sitting in a cupboard).

Not a touch on the rest of this thread, I'm afraid. Ancient case - 'Rat look' perhaps? There is a Sandybridge going in there this week as well

As well? That would be quite an achievement

Well, to be honest, it came in a pre-built computer. I have never found ANYWHERE that actually sells exactly the same stuff with the same part number. Not even the Corsair website have it listed!

lol, nothing dodgy! I had a bowl of Ice Cream on the desk

if the ice cream can sit on the desk why can't the chocolate sauce?

 

[buchtis]

Erm... yeah...

 

[LiamJ]

^^Wow. Just wow.

Wait, what is this? Where is everybody getting rubber grommets for the cables holes in their CM 690-II?

 

[Bradmax57]

small update just wrapped those horibble grey wires to usb and soundcard in black tape and also found my pre braided 24pin psu lead

I was wondering the same. It's much better when you can't see the nest through the holes.

Brad that looks awesome with those fans! I was going to go for red LEDs when I order some Bitfenix Spectres, but I think I'm going to have to reconsider!
