Is that a thermaltake cooler on the videovard, doesn't it come with a small fan built it? Curious, what are your cideo card temps?

Yes it is. Idles at 50c, gaming around ~65c. Have been using it for a year now, no probs at all. No fan, just the 12cm @ 5v at the back.

can you expand more on your video card? that heatsink looks tiny to cool it passively. What brand is it? i havent seen a red PCB 6800.

that'd be the thermaltake Schooner
I like the sutble touches, the cloth to prevent metal-metal contact of the case panel
yes where'd you get the foam?

Is the CPU cooler the stock one that comes with the CPU?

Hi,
I have a funny feeling the OP is either finnish or swedish. That soundproofing mat is from Biltema (I think the HTPC link in my sig has some info about it) which is good, but doesn't come with glue pre-installed. However you've done a pretty nice job with it.
Nice looking setup!

Aleksi; you're right, I'm from Sweden.
Glueing it to the chassi was no problem at all. Nice price too, around $25 for a sheet of 100 x 50 x 3 (cm)
The CPU-cooler is from Arctic-Cooling. Cheap and very low in noise.

looks great!
Would you mind posting some pics of the HD suspension up close. I'm about to tackle suspending two 3700s (one of 1 drive the other with two) and your single drive suspension looks very clean. Thanks and great job.
