out of all the places you can put a hard drive, you put 2 hard drives at the very bottom of a ATX case. Did you know that's where the ATX case draw the cool air in and exhaust the hot air inside via the top fan? You are blocking the air flow totally

I don't understand why you have a big fan blowing hot air upwards? Shouldn't you have it pulling the hot air out towards the rear instead?

By the way, what's that green light connect to a ribbon cable do at the front?

LOL, it's a power supply.

I'll never get why people get 5.1 sound system and put the rear speakers on the top of the front speakers.

Nice setup though.

No choice really as there is too much traffic in the area behind my chair to allow speakers back there... trust me I wish it wasnt the case.

That's the best place to put hard drives, since they need to be cooled as well.
 
exactly plus I added another 80mm fan right above that to intake air, therefore one is cooling my harddrives and blowing through teh comp aswell as another right above

2x 80mm front intake
1x120mm side intake
2x 80mm back exhaust
1x 80mm top exhaust

well then shoudln't that exhaust fan of the power supply be facing the outside of the case? I never seen anyone put a pwr. supply fan inside a case, as the power supply fan exhaust hot air out.
 
What's unusual about the PSU fan placement in this instance is that it looks like he replaced the 120mm fan in his Ultra X-Finity (I'm guessing), but instead of making the new fan an exhaust (which is what virtually all PSU fans are), the picture here shows the fan to be blowing into the chassis instead of exhausting warm air out the back of the case.

*scratches head* :rolleyes:

Yes you got that right. The reason why this is the case is because of the placement of the PSU.
In my build the PSU is located in the front. I dont' have a intake(fan) installed in the front yet, I am not sure If I will need to.The fan in the psu is replaced with a quiter fan and it is flipped So it can blow air into the case.
I am still in the process of benchmarking and testing. I am keeping a log of the temps in both idle and stress testing. So far everything is working the way it has been intended. I will update if anything changes.
 
this is post your workstation, not post your case. woo hoo, watercooling, like we havent see that before. grumpy grumpy.

Very nice, I actually prefer the mx518 because I need a button above the scroll wheel for gaming.... G15 doesnt have that :(

You should put that sub on the floor. It's pointless to even have it if you're going to put it on the cart like that.
 
hahahaha, are you using a windows installer screeny as a background? it's kinda hard to tell, the grey bar on the bottom suggests yes, but I see no desktop icons.
 
heheh come on skud, the greay bar is always therre in the windows installer. its where it says shit like "press f6 to load raid drivers" etc etc along with progress info

gosh i cant wait till that stupidd outdated windows installer is gone. FOR YEARS NOW, osx has shown how an installer should be. catch up windows!
