err WxHxL (w=120mm, h=38mm, l=??? however many 120mm fans you can put on it + a bit for the inlet/outlet connectors)

Sorry, I forgot a decimal. Right around 84mm thick. Looks tight between HDD cage and bottom of case.
 
id say you could fit a dual rad /triple and then there would still be room for like gtx-470 and such

the 470 is as long as to the mb's edge

To an extent they are, but it depends on the person.

Personally i see a lot more disadvantages of running computer hardware outside of a case.

That's the only way to go, imo. Cases are a hindrance.

It's the same with all parts: when outside the house, I like to have my parts neatly tucked in. Not everyone gets the privilege to see what's inside. They might find out it's just micro-ATX form factor ;)
 
Currently messing around with undervolting, what's the stock voltage for xeon 3220 first revision? ( 105w version)

Got it down ( I think) to 1.1, I think stock was 1.22 or something not 100% sure.

Temperatures are great because of it. ( idle and full load here) It's 16c outside, not sure what it is in my room.

Might try getting to 1 v.

Doing this because this chips a dud for over clocking now 3.2 being it's sweet spot @ 1.29 volts, past that the voltage requirements and heat out put makes it not worth my time.

So lowering temps is my new bench marking XD

its fun, isnt it :D

its why i like modern stuff (like 5870's :P), you can get really low idle wattage/temps without having to forgo OCing

is that with or without fans attached
 
god damn cheap arse Chinese Fans you wouldn't read about it my HD5770 isn't evan an year old and the fans gone poo it's jammed tighter than the proverbial nuns you know what :banghead::mad:

and when i removed the vid card and pulled the fan off it's some fully sealed thing that can't be re-lubed so I had to ghetto mod a case fan for now as all the shops are closed :eek: ;)

one good thing though the temps have gone down a couple of Deg C :toast:

With, Panflo 38mms. A guy could put the 38mms in the case, sling the rad under the chassis, and extend the feet if he wanted a set of pull fans.

Video card looks good. I'd leave it that way.

buy a shorter DVD burner I don't have a problem with my Pioneer DVR212S getting in the road of me putting a card in the last PCIe slot on my M3A32mvp-deluxe mobo if I wanted to

as you can see it's barely longer than the 5.25" bay itself

Nice! Think those fans should be on my list of things to buy too. What temps are you getting with passive heatsink in that rig?

My drive is Blu-Ray, too damn expensive atm for me to start looking for an exchange one :banghead: Think external enclosure will be the solution to my problem.
 
I don't think I ever posted my latest setup... here it is. (Apple haters... zip it. :) )

Replaced original HD with WD Scorpio Black 7200RPM 500GB

Now, PC related, I still have my water setup and of course my homemade tech station. Once I'm feeling the OC'ing itch again, I will probably pickup another AMD setup. I had too much fun with the 1090T to not go back to AMD. :)

It's not a passive HSF it's an Tuniq Tower 120 the fan sits in the middle and is held by the black top piece and frame you see

if you put the rad under the case and just use the 180mm fans in the case as they do move a fair amount of air .... the standard fans that come with the case have two speed settings LO=700rpm and HI= 1000rpm on high they move about 117cfm each whilst remaining fairly quiet



number five is alive it wont be long before he's sleeping right through the night

I would but i can't be arsed

Do you already have the PCI-E and 24Pin remover tool. If you don't it is a good idea because those pins cannot be removed with the save my wallet pin remover.

You may already know this but I am just giving you a heads up as that tool is a lifesaver.
