Mine cost less to make and has higher quality materials, looks better and I get the satisfaction of building something. If you bothered to actually read the thread youd see I did it to kill time while saving for the parts. Take that partical board marketing shite somewhere else.

After months of saving and slowly building I now have my 2P rig parts together (a Big Thanks to 3.0 Charlie over at HWC for the Motherboard, Ram and CPUs) I'm installing the OS as we speak and will be folding like a mutha this evening. The Open Air Bench will get some more tweaks I just wanted to te...

Small Update, I received my first piece of Hardware today, A Corsair AX850 PSU (Thanks to Mike over at silentpcreview.com | Everything about Silent / Quiet Computers for the Great Price) , pretty sweet unit, Nice having an option to use 2 or 4 Sata Power cables. The Bench is getting close to complet...

Small Update: I've attached the Plexi Using Chicago Screws to the Aluminum Frame, the structure is pretty sound now.

What I have here is a LNIB Ergotron LX Desk Mount LCD ArmI used it for a few months then packed it up.

Small Update, Set up my workshop in my office/spare bedroom. Happy Thanks Giving!!

I agree a bigger cooler would be better. just limited with what is compatible on a 2P g34 board

Just Some Scribbles, gonna go see the parents this weekend, grab a pop-rivet gun and some aluminum pieces. Might start saturday or monday, sunday is busy with thanksgiving

Hello the reason for the NH-U9DO is because they are compatible with the G34 socket, the other 2 are not, slightly limited on CPU coolers for server boards / Sockets.

Great point Mike, I keep my top cover cracked open a few inches, definately helps with the cooling, Just keep a can of air close by.

Nice Clean Build I would definately swap out the stock fans as soon as you can. good advice here suggesting turning the CPU Heatsink to let natrual convection take place (heat rises) one question whats that uh ribbon type cable doing in your build, i mean you have so many "New" parts the IDE just do...

for the noisey 5750 (i Have 2 in Crossfire) it seems to be my only option, when i stop the bottom GPU Fan the case is silent, ive tried a dab 3in1 oil with no luck, I havent been able to find aftermarket solutions either. One day there will be an option, (i suppose i could take the fan off and zapst...

As far as i can tell, I cant hear it from 6 inches away, i have to put my ear up to the exhaust, the 135mm fan makes a difference for sure.. NCIX always has these on sale... I like mine so far. Im now looking at a FT02 case the antec is about as silent as i can get it, but i want more. Its just hard...

More Case Damping Material added, this is getting closer to silence. still hear some turbulance from the rear exhaust(Noctua 120mm at 385RPM) http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab203/coolhand2010/IMG_1967.jpg Where can i get this Devo material ? You think it can make a difference? I actually Met up...

Tuck some wires away. aka cable management. not harshing on you. just my opinion.

NCIX price matches these guys. NCIX price is $299.99CDN (sale happening tonight as part of their weekly sales, so thats probably why Best Direct has the sale price on now(same company different prices)

I have the 5750 Vapor X, its great (aside from fan noise, im really picky)
you can OC the 5750 to the 5770 specs using the catalyst control panel. I went with the 5750 because its reviews said it was quiet and the price was right seeing how you can overclock it to the 5770 specs.
my 2cents

I have the Sapphire Vapor X pictured above (HD5750 version) I cant seem to find a quiet cooler solution that will fit. anyone ???

^Thanks!!! I would love a SSD but its not in the budget at 3+$ per GB. maybe in quarter 2 when intel releases their new SSD's and the prices come down a little. Anyone have a HD5750 GPU? i need to quiet the fan down, even at 20% its audible, ive looked everywhere for aftermarket coolers and there on...

I purchased this case a while ago. its great. more pics here:

Thanks^^ its a work in progress. and yes its very quiet, i can hear HDD seek noise and a low hum when i put my ear to the case. So i have a bit more to do.
