This might look like a bunch of scattered pieces of metal but it is actuall the fanless heatpipe cooler for the CPU:


Silverstone Nightjar 300W fanless PSU:


Taming the Cables One by One:


1TB Seagate 7200.12 HDD in SilenceBox which completely removes all noise and clicking sound:


Everything in Place with Passive Radeon 5670:


Heatpipe CPU cooler transports heat from the Phenom II X3 720 to the side of the case:


It seems the flimsy ASUS aluminum heatsink ok the 5670 cant keep the card cool enough so I took it out and swapped it with a Zalman VF-1000 Copper cooler with the fan removed. Now the card idles at 70 degrees and shoots up to about 90C after a few hours of furmark:

Very nice. What case is that? Also, what are temps like on the CPU?

Nice !
Any reason for the motherboard change between the pictures ?

The case is a Mcubed HFX Classic:

The reason why the motherboard is swapped is because the MSI has better cooling and chipset.

VFD in Place:


Final Build in the living Room:



Cooling Fins on the side of the case:

The CPU idles around 45C and during load it goes up to 55ish.

Purty. The case looks awesome. How much was the CPU heatpipe cooler?

A nice clean build, inside and out.

The SilenceBox looks interesting, but I'm wondering what the HDD temps are?

-HF

I bought the case around $350 when the case was available through a canadian distributor.

The MSI motherboard has better chipset cooling than the gigabyte..
