G80 in which case?

[BlindMelon7]

and a partridge in a pear tree?

Wooaaa! Its only 1200 watts!

[SirusVirus]

I wonder if i could fit partridge in a p180 or a 900?

Thanks anyways for the replies guys and gals (i dunno?), ive decided on the p180 for now as its cheaper.

[BlindMelon7]

What about this?

[SirusVirus]

still not sure alan would fit in it tho?

[danroyle]

i got a thermaltake shark and there is about 34cm space from the back to the hdd bays so would fit in there no problems

[SirusVirus]

whats the heat spread like inside the case dan?

[CrazyMonkey]

Dans system runs cool, trust me. I would say the Sharks have pretty decent thermal managment but id check with dan.

Hes on WC'in btw.

Btw pollaxe whats the temps your getting in your Silverstone TJ09 case? and are you using air or water cooling?

Which tj09 case do you have btw? tj09b-w / tj09s-w or the tj09b or tj09s?? lol

Whoops, sorry, only just seen this!

I'm only on air cooling (I'm a dinosaur and still don't like the idea of liquid in the case, I know.. people tell me I'm wrong but..).

I have the TJO9B - the solid black case without a window - my choice, I'm not a fan of windows (I usually end up scratching the bloody things!)

Average temps in the case are low-mid 30s c, cpu usually in the low 40s.. the highest I've seen the GPU go up to is high 50s/low 60s (under a lot of load) but it usually pootles along around 44c on idle/general use..

I really like the case!

[SirusVirus]

why are there so many cases? arghhh

Thankyou for the replies, im not a water cooling profficent person, and far too clumsy to try it at the moment , so air is my calling, until i get around to at least trying to build a water unit.

Did you have a look at the G70?

[SirusVirus]

I have indeed, i was looking at the 7950 512mbx2, a friend has one in a core2 system, and its a great card. The only reason i was going for the G80 was its potential future-rediness with DX10, but the more i think about buying one and the lack of testing, user comments etc... its swaying my mind... im still in the decision stage; but as im thinking im saving money! lol

What G70 do u have?

[Clunk]

Heres my G70, as you can see, plenty of room for pretty much anything, apart from anything that is larger than the case itself, like a cow for example.

[SirusVirus]

what case is that? Ohh and what G70 is ur card mate?

But your right, theres definetly enough space there, and the water tubes dont look cramped at all. WC'ing aint really a strong point of mine tho!

[Clunk]

the case is a Lian-Li G70 The card isnt a G anything, its an x1900xt

Edit: Theres a triple rad in the top as well, so plenty of space for other stuff if you are air cooling. There is space for 2 PSUs so you can have them at the top or bottom.

Lol my bad, i thought u had like a Geforce 7900 or something in there... woops!
