I saw those posts and tried looking up some reference 7970 temps, but they varied quite a bit and was impossible to compare to. They also didn't use Furmark for many of them. An open-air reference with all else identical might be an easy way to see if there is sufficient airflow around...

Necere, Can you run the parts you are filling the case with in open air to get some kind of reference for their 'optimal' temperatures?

Necere, or anyone else, how hot does the 7970 with the reference blower-style fan get in open air under the same sort of loads you tested at?

Are all those holes even necessary? Maybe limit them to just over the PSU exhaust area. With the side fans as intakes, most of the air will then be pushed out the bottom. Probably keep the hard drive and video card cooler that way too. edit: Also, why not make the top/side/front panels in a...

I have never seen DI-NOC in person, but I know it is possible to get real carbon-fiber veneer applied on aluminum. In fact, most of the carbon fiber 'look' you are used to seeing is from a final sheet of cosmetic CF, as the underlying, structural CF can look pretty messy. Just another idea...

Anyone know if a 3.5" drive could fit if it was rotated 90deg and moved as far forward in the case as possible? I am wondering if this will let me use both both the Noctua L9i and a 3.5" drive.
