thats a nice clean rig u've got there ive got the blue model hiper type-r and love it, its so quiet.

[Alvin.Sue]

[Steve B]

lol no, its the free hdd coolers you got with the 250 gig maxtors which was on offer last week, they work pretty well actualy, allow the heat to spread throw that to get rid of it quite quicker... i like it, will be putting a fan infront of it to blow air onto it aswell for extra cooling

erm, i dont have water cooling mate lol , its my artic freezer pro 7

ye thats nice m8, i also have that PSU. i love it. canu buy them hard drive things seperatly. and in blue. and do they fit spinpoints?

[baby_ice]

there about 2 or 3 quid from scan

[Merlin4458]

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=130267 best i could find on scan rich. I know it cools but duno if it keeps it quieter, then agai nthe spin point are quiet anyway

[MantisCSS]

yeh just liked the look of that casing, hard drives are quite ugly. thought it owulda looked cool in blue. ima tart.

[johnny02004976]

i agree its a nice looking piece of kit - what sort of temps u getting from that cooler??

love the hiper as well........although the blue one looks better but im biased

looks like ur side panel needs a clean - i hate finger smears

[chuckskull]

Nice looking machine.

I wish mine was that clean, but theres no chance (2 DVD drives and 6 hard-disks **** on that).

The case itself would have provided the HDD enough cooling without resorting to HDD cooler. (Conduction through the drive cage)

Doesn't seems like you have an exhaust fan apart from the PSU? The Hiper's fan is not fast enough to handle the heat from the CPU.

One more thing. Since your board have 4 DIMMs I presume its Dual Channel capable? Why one stick only?

I would have installed 2 more fans on the panel to increase cool air intake especially to the graphics card and use cello-tape to block off the holes on the panel just above the CPU cooler to force more air going through the rear exhaust (hence slightly better CPU cooling)

You may want to relocate your SATA cable as they doesn't really like steep bending, and it looked like its going to snap the connectors. Also its blocking a bit of the airflow (not really a big deal though)

its a good job ur not picky arthur, could u imagine!!

It was horrible when I had 8 IDE hdds with a tiny case.
Now its slightly better with SATA but routing is still somehow difficult with all those molex->sata converters. And I don't think its a good idea to have that much HDDs pulling power from the same cable.
