Same here. Also hoping their controller works well and is not just a gimmick

Third option here. I don't understand the need for semi-fanless or fanless SFX, just don't make it louder than the Silverstone 450 V2, of which I'm a proud owner :cool:. My caseless setup is sitting 1 foot away from me on my desk and the only noise that's heard is the Noctua Nh-L9i! My ear...

Smooth build, great case and great setup. Was going to get my this case myself but was put off by the "cables coming out the top" idea. Does it bother you at all or is it discrete?

What about a custom acrylic case? You can cut it to size with just about any sharp tools

If you find a pocket of empty space inside your enclosure you might be able to stuff your existing wires in there and connect these or something similar to them to add aesthetic value (and possibly improve airflow).

From my research the S/M12II-620 are the best bang for your buck if taking noise into consideration, they are supposed to be much quieter than the competition. I also remember seeing a new 500w "sfx" psu's from High Power at Computex so maybe hold out for that?

I'm 99% sure the psu held you back from overclocking, try it with another one if you have it laying around. If not silverstone sfx or SeaSonic S/M 12II

Hey man nice use of space. However I imagine that cleaning the graphics card from the never ending dust would get very tedious very quickly. I'm also afraid the pcie x16 slot would be more prone to damage being exposed like that... what if the case get's knocked over and the gpu pcb snaps? I...

I thank you dearly. I unscrewed the screws (1 long screw to hold the bracket in place and 2 smaller screws for the fan), placed the noctua on the motherboard and magic happened. Like a glove. Amazing. Such a simple thing it seems, and the best part is I don't think I've voided warranty! You...

I recently purchased the Noctua NH-L9i for it's short height, cooling and low noise capabilities to go along with my MSI Z77IA-E53, but I'm running into compatibility issues with the two. If you look on the Noctua compatibility page you'll see that my E53 isn't supported, so go figure, but if...

I'm always quick to jump the gun with questions... turns out I won't be needing it. But for future interests could you tell me where I can purchase one?

I'm looking for a power cord to connect to my psu that takes up as little space as possible, preferably something like the low profile flat cord pictured in the red box, or even shorter if possible. There is no maximum height requirement, but the lower it is the better. There is no orientation...

Since the Noctua heatsink already comes with 2 fans, the arrangement you mentioned will be one of the first to be tested :). And if you're wondering, the actual case design is lookin good too, I'l update the thread once the build starts :)

fixed

I agree that the 92mm would provide the best airflow, and since I want to have as little noise as possible it is the ideal setup. Especially since the new cpu cooler I'm looking at already comes with two, and this little guy is not only smaller in height (125mm), but uses ultra quite Noctua...
