9/10 nice job and could u post some snaps from inside without the window

steelkane · Nov 20, 2007

the all black setup looks smoking, but building your system on the carpet,, I wouldn't do it. Nice setup, I like it.

window i see inside i dont still think your hidding a mess

aspire · Nov 20, 2007

I know the parts aren't top notch, but I don't have the funds to upgrade every 6 months but I do think the rig itself is nothing close to normal.

tzitzibp · Nov 21, 2007

neohazard is not entirely right about not waiting to see more pictures, cause i'd rather give u a 9 after seeing more of the inside than give u an 8 now...
if u see my point!!

9/10 that case is brill!!!

btw- black water cooling pipes will absorb heat/light, possibly increasing temps

9- Nice job! I hate how they make cases will the same blah dull grey interior, that's why I painted my Antec 900.

I now have a CM690, but don't like it very much.. my Antec kept my system MUCH cooler. How do you like the Auroura cases?

HookeyStreet · Nov 27, 2007

Very nice.....get an HD3870 in that beast

The material that tubing is made of is norprene, as a type of rubber it has excellent insulation properties and poor conductivity properties. As a result of this, and the fact that the coolant is isolated from light, thus preventing any kind of growth in the loop.

I think it was a great idea on my part

WhiteLotus · Nov 27, 2007

that is a nice case -silent and no sleep preventing colours. i like. 8/10

tzitzibp · Nov 28, 2007

1 WORD... FANTASTIC !!! 9/10
