Hi there

Thought I should probably join the forums and say hi after spending the last month mining this website for information!

I run a small computer building company in Exeter, UK, and recently had a client request a very quiet system to go in a studio. The main issue being that he also wanted it to have an 8800GTX for gaming! System ended up as follows:

E8400
Thermalright Ultra 120 (no fan)
8800GTX
Enermax Modu82+ 625W (my word is that thing quiet!)
4Gb Ram
1Tb Samsung F1
Silverstone TJ09 case
3 x Sharkoon Golf Ball fans
mCubed BigNG

I will be writing up a full review soon, in particular of the case.

Welcome to SPCR Jon!

What did you do for cooling on the video card?

Because of the issue of warranty, we decided not to change the cooler. This was one of the reasons why we went for the TJ-09 case, as it has a fan mounted right in front of the graphics card:

That black strip is actually a hole right through the case. The HDD bays are behind the mesh, and there is a fan to the right of that hole blowing straight onto the graphics card.
