Just finished a couple of things off today and it's pretty much done. Just need the new window which will be mounted on the inside rather than outside as they come as standard, should look better that way and the standard acrylic is awful anyway. Tempted to go tinted but I don't think you'll be able to see anything which will be a waste having gone through the effort of braiding everything, etc.

Pictures taken with phone (Not iphone!

) hence the terrible quality, I'm no photographer either.

That's it till sandybridge I think.

would it worth changing your h-50 around so the tubing is on the top and not near your graphics card so the heat from it is not interfering with your cpu temps.

just a thought.

Cheers for the suggestion. I guess it's possible it's having some effect, although the 460 doesn't run very hot. Upside down was the only way it would fit in my old case and I did plan on changing it round but decided I preferred it that way anyway. I may try it out at some point though and see if there's difference.

filter looks dusty, take a brush to it

Almost done, just got to decide which GPU(s) to buy now........ Silverstone recommend one's which exhaust the air outside the case so I guess i'm gonna buy EVGA 460's (when I get round to it)

Ive Just redone the cabling in my antec 900 ready for a graphics card upgrade in a few weeks. Its a very hard case to tidy :mad:

Noway, Ive worked with the antec 300 aswel, and you can hide the cables more easily, also the antec 300 has a area that you route the cables too.

But that aside, I like my antec 900 cos its not too big so there isnt bags of space left over after installing your stuff, as the hardware is snug but not too snug that you dread working in there. But theirs not enough hoes for cable management and they haven't really left enough room behind motherboard tray for loads of cables.

I must have one of the very first 300's then because apart from the rather inept cable ties on the 3.5 inch drive bays there's nowhere for me to hide cables away.

Didn't realise there was enough room inside a 300 for hoes too !

That's a lovely sff build bradmax. PSU label would bother me though. Maybe get a hair dryer and some Isopropyl alcohol? Your build deserves to be blemish free.

very smart bit of kit there!

Here's a case I'm working on. The log is here

Moved my rig into the chassis for now, everything was getting too hot in my Lian Li A05B.

Ignore the drive cage, I'm planning on mounting the drives in the 5.25 bays, and the HDD cage is removable anyway

Yaka · 29 Oct 2010 at 00:22

what case is that?
