@ DamanC - Marble paint very nice .

@Phoenixdancer - Nice but looks like all those fans are placed as intakes, do you keep the side panel off? .

+1

Did you just drill 4holes that align up with the SSD mountings? Also, did you space it off or is it flat onto the tray?

Cheers

@Phoenixdancer, that SSD mount mod looks the mut's nuts

Thanks people.

The SSD is used a single screw via an original hole in the mobo tray, Very secure with just the one.

Its directly placed on the tray, saw no need to raise it.

Yes The fans are intakes, the 2 x 90mm Fans dont actually work and have been removed, so they are exhaust vents currently.
The 120mm rad at the front is exhaust so most of the heat is pulled out there.

I'm looking to mount my HDD's much the same as the SSD... Will make a mount i think

You don't happen to own a Volkswagen do you? Bloody Volkswagen owners even doing the rat look to their computer cases!

@Aleksandrs, how are you coping without a rear fan? Is the CPU cooler fan enough to keep the airflow?

@aleksandrs, how are you coping without a rear fan? Is the CPU cooler fan enough to keep the airflow?

For me it's never really been much of a problem. Even when running full specs on a game in a warm room it never really got to any sort of questionable temperature anywhere.
No doubt putting one there would improve its temperatures, but I never had a real motive especially considering it's no longer my main computer, and even when it was I didn't really use it for that long, maybe 4 or 5 months use.

I've not had it on for about another 4 or 5 months now, today is the first day I've had it on.

I could have put that top fan to the back, but I felt as if the top kinda needed it more as the cpu fan was already pointing in that direction.

I'd say his CPU cooler sucks in from the back and the top fan blows the hot air out.

Fair enough.

I like the look of that case though, even if the cables are everywhere!

Many bits are to blame for the cabling lol. First is the PSU cables just really aren't long enough, second is the GTX 260 is bloody massive, thirdly the power socket for the mobo is right inbetween the cpu fan at the top and the graphics card so the only way to connect them is to go over the graphics card lol.

Any ideas of how to tidy it up, I'd love to know, but I don't think it's going to happen. As it is, I took out the cables that plug the front sound lines and usbs to the mobo just to make it a bit tidier (some may say that was stupid, who knows )
