Hehe np, thanks.

Had to fit a new 180mm to the front, so decided to tidy up cabling and install SSD properly. Cable management is best possible due to size of CF power cables and the amount of sata I have!

Muel · 20 May 2010 at 07:55

That's fairly crammed!

I thought that CF worked better with only one bridge?

I think it seems to depend on your sys with the 4series cards

rexehuk · 20 May 2010 at 12:32

It looks crammed but there's a fair bit of room in there and temps are quite nice, also the pictures make the cabling look messy but you should see how many wires are hidden...

can you recommend me one, it is very quiet but still wouldnt mind it been quieter!

Well, anything is better than stock, but something like this with a xilence fan at low rpms would be just fine and very quiet.

If it's worse than that, I need to see it. If it's this, I will not be entirely shocked

That is a 5 minute clean up compared to this - http://royal.pingdom.com/2008/01/09/the-worst-cable-mess-ever/

Got bored of my old PC and modded a tiny touch !

After building it and looking around on forums I always hated the silver shell

So I finally decided to do something about it

Cable management is a WIP

Think im gonna need to drill the back panel of the case so I can route stuff back there instead of just having a cubby hole

Nice, just done a load of chopping to mine. I now have no HDD bays! I suspended them in the spare optical bays, but the plates I made for it need tidying up/modding slightly because the hard drives sit at an angle.

I was doing somes tests today and the stock cooler is virtually silent, as is the case exhaust fan, It is the power supply and the graphics card fan which are the offenders!

Think im going to order a 500 watt silent PSU and take off the tiny Nvidia fan and swap it for a 8 cm silent fan

@ Limpep

Were you practicing for some sort of "pin the tail on the donkey" competition when you put the case badges on?

My new FT02 (unfortunately without my 5870 for now

).

May sort out a few more photos later that include a bit more of the case

So it blows the (exhaust) air up & out :confused:

But, pretty neat.

Seems logical to me... heat rises, so if it's rising towards extraction fans it will exit the case much faster, add on top of that the bottom fans forcing air to the top.

Just read up on the FT02. Thought he had customised it that way.
