Re: Fractal Design Node 605 HTPC Style Case
Any possibility of this case getting some additional love? Granted, it sucks ass when you use the as-shipped configuration with a 95W CPU and a gaming GPU...but, is there a configuration that will work? Adding more fans/ changing the airflow?

There's just not that much you can do for cooling a video card in this case, no way to get cool airflow directly to it. That's the only thing which would help. A vent above the video card position would have opened some options.CA_Steve wrote:is there a configuration that will work? Adding more fans/ changing the airflow?
A tower cooler with a fan blowing out towards the back would probably help, but we don't know of any available currently that would perform well enough. The old Scythe Ninja Mini comes to mind, of course, but that hasn't been available for a quite a while.

I guess you either need to use a video card that exhausts out the back or use an APU.

Thanks for the review !
my 2 cents : replace the pci slot covers with an exhaust 92mm fan

What about loosing the dust filters and turning this into a negative pressure case?

What I'd like to know is if there enough space to mount two 120 mm AIO radiator coolers with either 1 or 2 fans each. With both the CPU and GPU cooled by AIO wouldn't that streamline dumping hot air out of the case?

whoops! building a case for a full atx, when it really wont fit with an opti drive, then charging $150!
Re: Fractal Design Node 605 HTPC Style Case
Does anybody knows if the Arctic cooling Freezer 7 Pro fits in this case? Theorically it should fit looking at the specs.
It could be a good cooler and it blows the hot air direct to the rear of the case to extract it.
