its alright. I couldn't really do much with my rig till i got the PSU i was waiting for. I didn't trust the 500w to run my rig OCed and folding/crunching anyways

Figured I would apologize, nothing to hide. I feel better now

you will get to know, what really "cramped" is, when you work with Watercooling on a Case, smaller than medium !

do you operate the rig with the sidepanel open,or do you put it on?

i left it open.
the Xig is too tall for my case so it wont get closed..

its a bit better actually, before i have 2 more HDD and 1 more ODD,
cable management is a really PITA inside my case..
:shadedshu:

must change case, any suggestion with a CHEAP and reliable case?
for less than $40?

Radical_Edward · May 16, 2010

I like this case. I just built into if. Great little case.

Another good case

If you add a little bit more money. the case i recommended earlier will fit a 5850. i can vouch for that

Radical_Edward · May 16, 2010

Brandon, way to make me feel not helpful.

Honestly, I'd recommend a CM 590, 690, or 690 II.

AhokZYashA · May 16, 2010

the 690 II is about $100
i rather buy a 1TB HDD
but yeah ill have a look..

Radical_Edward · May 16, 2010

The CM 690 series is worth the money.

AhokZYashA · May 16, 2010

is it really that good?
hows the airflow?

I really love the Cooler Master Elite 335 that I picked up last November for only $30 shipped and I can't wait to finish filling it up

Radical_Edward · May 16, 2010

Basically, Cooler Master cases rock.

Oh dear . . . so many monstrosities I made with duct tape before I got more appropriate supplies :roll:

Radical_Edward said:

I think I would have to agree here.

Yes they do....

Radical_Edward · May 16, 2010

Indeed.

Anyone have a fix for fan hum when using one on the side of the CM 590? It doesn't matter what fan I put on there, even with rubber mounts, they all hum when intaking air unless I use the board to slow them down to 700 rpms or less. Though, if you put your ear up to the case, you can still hear a faint humming. If I flip the fan around and use it to pull air out of the case, the noise goes away no matter the rpm. I've checked and made sure they are not rubbing the side of the case (none are), so I'm not really sure what to do. :confused:

BTW, anyone looking for a 140mm fan that isn't a sleeve, doesn't cost a fortune, and is quite should look at these: Masscool 140mm ball bearing fans

I ordered two for the top of my 590 since I really didn't want to run a sleeve fan up there. Wasn't quite sure because it is impossible to find anyone who has used Masscool. Needless to say, they move a good amount of air while being just about quite. I can hear a faint tick from one of them at 12v, but I have to have my ear up next to it and be listening for it. They sleeve the cable all the way and even come with rubber mounts. For the 10 bucks or so they were, I'm very impressed.

Also, if anyone is looking for a R4 alternative that is a little slower: here. It is quite literally exactly like the R4 except they only make them in blue, turn a little slower, and are also ball bearing. I have it bolted to the hard drive cage where I had the R4. Neither of them made any noise, but since it turns a little slower it has less air noise (of course) than the R4.

Once I figure out this side panel humming noise on the 590, I'm going to get another to put there and a 120mm version to replace the exhaust. I'm really liking Masscool ball bearing fans if you can't tell. :laugh:

edit: BTW, anyone have comments on this HEC/Compucase.....huh.....case? :laugh:

OCD anyone? I am! :rockout:

Absolutely worth the cash. Bought one for my dad for his birthday, and almost kept it for myself. lol Awesome airflow, and just generally an awesome case altogether.
