Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Also thinking about getting Mafia 2, Digital Deluxe pack is the best deal I guess?
And what about Medal of Honor.. I was waiting on a deal for Black Ops but I wonder if I should go for MOH now?
As stated on the Thermalright website: Note: Must use with an Intel stock cooler or a down drafting type heatsink like Thermalright AXP-140.
The AXP excluding fan is about 70mm's in hight, that should leave at least 45 / 50 mm of space left. Pull on the Spitfire is an option yes, that's...
The case itself is 260mm if I'm correct, minus say 4mm for the aluminum. That should leave 256mm of space between front and back.
6870 specs are around 246mm, it has the connectors on top of the card, so why should it not fit?
See youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mazv1EJQiuo
And...
Here are 2 images where you can see the connection on the front:
Pic1 - Pic2
Could be the graphics card free bottem space is higher, but to me it looks like it is the problem why a 6870 will not fit.
Fractal Design Array R2, but now I'm thinking about an AXP-140 instead and leave room for a Thermalright Spitfire VGA cooler on top of it! :cool:
Hope this will fit on the new Radeon 6870 because it's not listed on there support yet.
I'm not shure yet what fans to use, air intake on front will...
This case should even fit a Radeon 6870 (245mm) if not for the stupid place of the USB port connector on the front. If they placed that 1 or 2 cm's higher there was no problem!
If you put it on a good mount at the wall it's the same as a touchscreen. I don't see a problem on that.
Yes it costs more, but you can do more with it. Better bang for the buck!
Any info on what (high) coolers would be best option?
At this moment it looks like Thermalright Venomous-X fits:
Other options are the TITAN Skalli and I think this Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
Never mind, I figured you had something like a very large amplifier and a pre. :p
That JVC may sound pretty good but I don't think a DAC will give a very high boost on the sound quality. The amount of Watts don't really say anything about a system, I have a Naim Supernait that is "only" 85...
At first I thought it looked really ugly, but it seems not that bad after all. I don't like the plastic side and top pannels, they could have made these better looking. But I guess it's a good start.
Would like to see a smaller model for mini-ITX.
Take a look at this:

That was the year 2000. Why did it take so long for case builders to implement the rising heat solution?
