How much storage have you got all together there?

Also, have you tried your heatsink in a different orientation? Like 90 degrees so its airflow is inline with the intakes and exhaust fans? I found it works better than when I had mine how you've got yours.

5x 1T and 750 gig (windows)
I have a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme cooler and it does not fit inline with the intakes and exhaust fans because it touches the psu rack above. The holes in the mobo tray should have been a little bit lower really...was very annoying at first, but my temps turned out ok in the end.

Its ugly as well

Down to personal taste and what people can afford. I've got an Antec SLK300B which isn't exactly the greatest case by todays standards.

The new case:

Just need a black DVD drive, however I'm not spending £20 when it works perfectly. I'll prob wait for the Blu Ray kit to drop a bit more etc. It would be nice for it to be SATA though.

Two more drives, TV card and another 4Gb RAM may go in. The HDDs first then maybe the other stuff...

Was tempted for another Noctua fan, but that will involve taking the board out to fit the fan onto the CPU err no thanks.. Plus I'm not currently overclocking, it's a standard Q6600 B3

Why dont you clip the front of it off and give it a spray?

Mikey · 29 Dec 2008 at 20:02

Not sure what the best is, but I used some stuff I picked up in my local hardware store. I think it was Plastikote.

By the way, to remove the front off the drawer, if it's anything like ones i've done before, you put your fingers behind the bottom front section of the drawer and prise the little cover forward, just a touch, then simply push it straight up from the bottom. It should simply slide off with little effort.

It's difficult to describe, but you will see what I mean when you try it.
