Instructions???????

For those having issues with the door not sitting completely flush with the case when closed, I found the following advice on Anandtech which you might want to try: " I had the same problem - all you need to do is LOCK the case door every once in while. When you lock it with the key it forces the d...

Not sure if any of you have seen this

I have a 6070 as well
I have a passiive intake under the hard drive cage
I have tried the 92mm fan in the back but I reckon 2 undervolted 80mm fans are quieter

Are there any reviews out yet with any improvements on the old artic coolers?

Anyway, I'm interested in people's opinions here. Fire away!

YAY! Keep us informed

Thanks guys... much appreciated

As I said before I think I'm now done with this case.....unless I can think of anything else to put in (or remove)

ok have a lil' update for you guys :) Have installed my Zalman CNPS7000A-Alcu and Sammy SP1614C. I had to mount the sammy in the Lian Li bay as you can see but I had to fit it with rubber grommets to stop the seek vibrations. I had to move my old WD up to a 5" bay. this has stopped all the seek nois...

Am pleased with the bottom vent I put in my case...made a big difference
Not sure it would make such a difference on a case with good airflow, mine's a 6070

if you can get a filter that dont restrict the airflow too much then you're ok!
I must admit, dust free is better

I must admit I was gong to get some padding (I had the deluxe acoustpak on my last case) but now I think I dont really need this as my fans are running a lot slower now to keep the same temps as before

Nice case kontkommer


Was thinking of getting some padding for mine, but dont think I need it now!!

Guys, I was thinking of putting in another passive intake nearer to the position of the new nexus case...what do you think? The more I increase the intake potential the lower I can have my fans! this is what its all about after all aint it? I like the passive intake I have at the mo as its invisible...

I know...the desk runs a lot cooler now that I've improved the airflow!!

That's a very nice shroud! I wouldn't mind having one of those for my other computers. I'd line the inside of the shroud with something like pax.mate (thin, open cell foam) to reduce sound reflections though. the shroud is lined with a sort foam padding. I suppose replacing it with some sound absor...

Yeah it looks really good.

We need to see a review in English

I have just done some more mods 8) I managed to get a 92mm fan sized hole underneath the hard drive cage. I had a 92mm filter already so this just fitted in nice. The case already sat on a bit of wood and I raised the case up a little more by cutting 2 squash balls in half. This has the added benifi...

Hi ashtray_head, Very nice work! You could still use a 92mm-to-80mm adapter if you wish to use an 80mm fan in there. Also, from the picture, it almost looks like two of those ThermalTake Duct Mods bolted-together would reach perfectly from your processor to the external fanhole! Perhaps its time fo...

A little off-topic, but interesting for me, since I'll likely need this soon. http://www.wrightsclose.plus.com/images/Pc/rear92.jpg Talking about the fan-guard in the above picture, what *ARE* they called (so I know what to google/froogle/kelkoo for). I'm likely going to chop some chopping on my ca...

I got more than 5 degrees by modding the intake and keeping the filter!

all the fans are mounted with the Vantec Vibration Dampening Kits The grill is on the re to save me fingers! :shock: I've had a few close shaves with the fan before I put the grille there Am disappointed with the panaflo as when is quiet it pushed hardly any air :( I think I'll get another fan to co...

Bah!!! I've only just got my 6070

The arctic cooler rev 3 fits on a XT I believe.
I have the rev 1 on my pro and the cooler is noisy and vibrates on high but is silent on low. You just need to remember to turn it up when you game

I must admit Iit took a while for me to decide to get this case after all the airflow probs that people were reporting. Although I'm glad I did :D Its by far the best looking case out there to me I'll probably see how the passive intake thing goes then I might try the zalman cooler. My mate has one ...

yeah just a passive filter and yes the case is raised off the floor
do you think that it would let too much dust in then?
