[Mr. Strawberry]

very nice indeed :D

[theelusiveyoda]

[Mr. Strawberry]

it looked like in the pics that you hadn't mounted it and i thought it would be easier to do that before you put all the other components in :D

[wuyanxu]

Very nice, you must have small hands or that new cooler is very large.:)

Have you found any problems with the Corsair Obsidian 800D, as I am looking to buy the 700D with no window or SATA Hot Swappable Bays.

But I have found someone selling a new 800D for £160, which seems a good deal.

[Gunslinger]

:lol: :lol:

.... ok, come on, where are the shots of the cable area at the back :P......

[wuyanxu]

no it's the venomous x
same cooler really, just a rebrand of the legendary TRUE which held its own for more than 2 years.

[ZodiarK]

indeed getting brill temps with it down from 70 on stock hs in prime to 45 max @6hrs

[simon d]

Are you still crossfiring your HD5770 or are you now using your HD5970.

Just seen the special offer on the Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5970 OC.

Think about buying one, what is your best stable O/C on the HD5970?

Do you have a photo of your Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5970 OC in the 800D case?

[ZodiarK]

i will get u pic of it but using the 5770's atm as im lazy

my pc is never finished as it's always been water always adding stuff..but i jumped to air for a bit until i get some new water stuff so it's kinda finished at least for a few weeks.

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/2287/sdc10638resize.jpg

i am going to merge some of the stuff from my other i7 in the ac ryan case and go eye infinity for a test drive.

this case still missing many gentle fans which aria need to stock!! and 3 white cc around the mobo.

Very pleased with this case thou it's true test will be when i put the duel loop back in.

[ZodiarK]

[callumburns]

[ChrisJB]

[callumburns]

I love that case what lcd display do you have in the bay?

[Lorem-Ipsum]

My mate bought one and they come with step by step instructions.

They can be tricky to use though and NZXT aren't exactly known for quality.

[ChrisJB]

lol ill just gonna ask for a link

[callumburns]

My mate bought one and they come with step by step instructions.

yeah but all the fans in my 1200 are the stock 4 pin molex ones, and im sure that this fan controller only has 3 pin fan connectors, i dont know i've only seen reviews and unboxings on youtube :|, i'll have to look more into it :p

[BeeP]

Very nice build m8, as most have said that case is just sooooo nice.

[ZodiarK]

thanks mate

[Mr Moose]

To be honist that case is the balls. Wanted it so much but my budget said no :(

[wuyanxu]

5970 being such a long card, doesn't look big in that case at all.

will be looking to gather fund for either 700D or Silverstone FT02 before the VAT raise.

I think most peoples budget says NO.
