    manipulate the URL to get the full sized versions, as the full sized are stored in the same area as the resized.. so just remove '_resize' from the name

    Wow, the force is strong in this one.
    I cut some extra holes in my Cosmos and it still isn't as neat as that.
    Gonna have to go back and attack it with cable ties me thinks.

    Hey guys, just wanted to know what you though about this?

    Does this make sense cooling wise?

    Re: Need help with 3XS build and some questions :)

    Glad you like the pics, also good thinking TAKTAK

    We will get some high res pictures up as we only had a 3mpix cam to hand

    Ruben, the only problem I see with cooling the system like that is the memory will get very toasty

    There is a fan at the front of the case pulling air in (near the hard disks) the three fans at the top are then pulling warm air out of the system, the heat sink fans are pulling air over the memory and then back out to the exhaust fan.

    There is also a rather large fan built into the side panel of the case blowing air all over the main board.

    Let me know what you think Ruben

    Re: Need help with 3XS build and some questions :)

    I just thought it might be a good idea, but you guys know best so i'll trust you on that one

    Any chance of dimming the lights, so we can see it all lit up?

    Thanks Philipp

    Re: Need help with 3XS build and some questions :)

    What's impressed me most is how patient i've been
    Normally i'm like i have to get it now, (i'm the next day special delivery type) but i've been patient this time.

    But i will say this now, i cannot f**king wait!!!
    Less than 48hours to go and this bad boy will be mine

    Any suggestions for what i should name this beauty?

    Re: Need help with 3XS build and some questions :)

    Everything will be perfect, i'll set the mood, some rose petals on the bed, it'll be magic haha!

    Just a thought, i'm going to have it sit by my desk, do you think it would be a good idea to have it resting on a small stand, say a few inches off the ground, as i don't want dust to build up around it.
    Its a wood floor, not carpet, just want to take every precaution really

    I'll borrow my girlfriends camera and take pics of me unpacking it, might even make an unpacking video.
    its coming Friday morning, so expect some pics up by the afternoon, and some benchies in the evening, got to work

    and a huge thanks to everyone who's helped me make some decisions regarding the spec, offering advice and other things

    and to all those at scan too, especially Philipp, thanks for all your help mate

    I'd say about 36 hours to go...

    Dust wont build up around it, it'll stick to the underside filters
    I kept mine on the floor to get the coldest air possible entering the case but a little stand won't hurt it probably.
