I've got to say that it runs everything that I have thrown at it without breaking a sweat! Thanks to Rob for customising the Aquaero 5 Pro Aquasuite software to manage the fan speeds more effectively. I can barely hear anything at idle and in-game not a thing so thanks - it's perfect!

Hopefully this shows you what care and attention the guys at Scan put into their builds. A clean build leads to a better through-flow of air through the system which aids in keeping things nice and cool.

I don't want to belabour the point but before I found Scan I did try several other "boutique" builders for my PC's and the build quality was nowhere near as good. Cabling all over the place and in the way of the fans. rather unsurprisingly I had some issues with stability and that led me to giving Scan a go and thank God I did!

Thanks again to everybody at Scan. Sadly, in this day and age good customer service and a good quality product are all too rare a thing to find. Please keep up the good work Scan and you will have a customer in me for life!

P.S. Hoping to see your systems Nocode & Cactusjack once their built. Hopefully not too long to wait now

Definately, I'll post pictures of my system when I get it - but I fear it's going to be a little way off as I'm still waiting on a build number and date. The memory and Corsair H100 was out of stock, which I believe have now come in today speaking to Lee P.

drharvey12 - the specs on your right look amazing, so very very jealous! I can't see the pics as I'm currently at work (and they block a lot of the image sites like imageshack etc) so I'll have to wait till I get home tonight to drool over them!

drharvey - WOW - that system is truly amazing. Truly drool worthy.
