My PC emits a high-pitched tone every time I start playing Crysis
I hear the same thing with my 8800GTX but only during the ea/crytek/intro-movie. In the actual game the card is silent, apart from the fan that is.

Looks really good. And thanks for the tip on the sticky zip ties, wonder where I can find them here in Sweden.

Ok new wiring! I'm pretty pleased with the result. Much neater, especially in the bottom chamber. Two things annoy me though. The IDE-cable to the DVDRW, it's to short to rout through the upper hole. And the front audio cable running across the motherboard. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee178/m...

Will you please post a photo of your back plane wiring...the back side of the MB tray?
I'm going to redo most of the wiring, because the backside isn't that pretty right now. I'll post a pic when it's done, hopefully sometime this week.

why have that front fan as exhaust? it seems to me as though that would cause an imbalance in airflow/pressure.
Ok I feel really stupid right now. It was supposed to be mounted the other way, sucking not blowing. :oops:

Did you find that the 520 HX cables were long enough to route behind the MB and use the unique P182 holes and tie downs?
The cables are pretty long, the 24 pin cable could have been a little longer. but it's no biggie you just have to stretch it somewhat for a good fit.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions.

I've now assembled the system, and it works great!
Gonna post something in the general gallery when I've taken some pics and done some temp testing.

I appreciate you taking the time to post a reply. I could get the E6850 3.0GHz for the same price as the Q6600 2.4GHz, but I think I'm going to stay with the quad. There are already a couple of games that take advantage of more than two cores, like "Supreme Commander" and "Lost Planet". And I'm goin...

Opinions on a reasonably silent gaming rig

I've placed an order for the parts for my new build (it's just an order for the shop to get the parts together, I can still change my mind until I go and pick it up :)) Here's the parts list: Antec Performance One P182 Corsair PowerSupply (PSU) 520W HX ATX Gig...
