Cool, thanks for the info. I've already removed the bay, so I'd definitely be interested in the 200mm option. People get a CPU/GPU working on a single 240mm rad in the M1, and I realized a 200mm x 200m was a lot more surface area than that (400 vs 288). The 240 and 140 combo would be...

I see, thanks. It looks like you couldn't even put a fan on that radiator without hitting the daughter board of the MB. Is it just super thick? It seems like with a standard width ~35mm radiator you should be able to put a normal fan on, but now, with these photos, it's looking like...

Do you have a picture of this? I was hoping to mount mine to the right side of the case (viewing from the front), but I imagined the ports being toward the front, away from the MB.

This sent me on the hunt that identified the issue. It is an EVGA Classified 780. I was greedy in wanting a medium form factor system with this card, I know. It turns out the size specs on Newegg were wrong. Updated my post accordingly. I might "step-up" to a reference TI. That should...

So I got this in the mail on Tuesday and put my build in. One problem: The MB is so high up in the case, that I cannot hook up power connectors to the video card without losing the top panel of the case. EDIT:Turns out the specs for my card that I was going by, from Newegg, were...

Why not the stock cooler? Will you be overclocking? You could get some cheaper memory and a cheaper SSD. Also something like an ASUS direct cu r9 270 is clocked nice and gets pretty close to a 270x. It's usually around 200

So I've worked a fair bit on V2V and V2I systems, and the misinformation here is crazy! There is no super-network for the data to get recorded on -- think of a bunch of localized radio signals, and you can just read the ones around you. There is no enhanced ability for the government or...

Quick note: it appears the Obsidian 250D is available from Corsair directly, if you are interested in going that direction.

If it's metric and you have US or vice versa, you can use a smaller key with a rubber band: lay the band flat over the hole, shove smaller key in. Should be enough grip to turn it

liangr's list is pretty good if the monitor is separate from your budget. I would recommend a slight PSU upgrade into the 600W range if you want to drive a 780 down the road (780 can pull 375W on its own). Also note the Obsidian 250D isn't shipping until mid-february either, so I don't think...

M1s aren't available so it isn't really relevant. You'll have to post the dimensions (length) of your 780 if you want that to be an option. Most cases have a max gpu length and this may force your hand in one direction or the other. You are looking at spending 300 on a monitor, 100 for...

Looking for any working CPU for a 1155 socket and the cheapest stick/pair of DDR3 you have to sell. I just need to get an old motherboard running and I have to test some things. I already have the PSU/VGA/MB. Thanks, let me know your price! -Alex Heatware under astyler

Ah good to hear. I'm sure a second would make up for the additional flow restriction it creates, even if slim with slim fans. It would get very, very tight though (maybe 15mm between GPU block and rad?). How thick are the radiators people are putting on the side? Is there a...

Anyone have this running with two 240 rads internally yet? Just curious if it had been attempted, haven't seen it online. You can definitely fit a thin rad with thin fans under the GPU, but its more fittings, more tubing, and might make the loop tough (while also using a side 240 rad)...

Pics asap! Also if using dual psu I recommend combining them to a common ground. This should solve most weird problems you may run into using two PSUs in one system.
