A big factor with the temps you're seeing with my build is the HD5850, which has an exceptional thermal performance compared to past generations of GPUs. I've never owned the 8800GTX, but from what I've read you should be fine if the load temps don't exceed 85ºC. Higher operating temps have been r...

That's truly excellent performance! I'd be more than happy with that. My GPU is currently at 65c while idling with no sides on the case. :) Goes up to scary temps when gaming. Old skool 8000GTX furnace. I was thinking of putting the Fractal exhaust in the front, my 1200 rpm quiet fan as rear exhaus...

Very nice setup - and like how tidy the install is cable wise. I've tried to keep mine as tidy as possible but I think you've managed it even better. So you have two intakes at the front (the fans that came with the R2) and a bottom intake but no exhaust? I'm trying to decide what to do about mine. ...

Bought mine in mid-April. There's definitely room for improvements in any eventual future revisions of the case, but most of those are minor issues by themselves. By far the biggest headache I had was with the P55-incompatible back plate opening and the slight I/O panel mismatch, but neither caused...

I've been blown away by Windows 7. After the averageness that was Vista Win 7 really fixes all the problems - seems that MS have finally nailed it. Installed on an old AMD 3200+ and it runs really well.. Just put on my new Phenom 9950 desktop system and it's a dream.. Really quick. Best part about W...

What's annoying is that there is a second revision of this case out but it appears that both myself and Exel got the old version - when did you buy yours Exel? I was searching last night and found review pics taken late March of a design which has a much longer backplate opening which would be fine ...
