Not really, only slightly wider than a normal case. It would be atleast 220x305 (fan wide+MB length) internal so maby 10mm more per side external. One option would be to tilt the fan a bit to get a slimmer case and blow more onto the MB. Hight would be something like 500-600mm tho Doesn't a 92mm fan...

Don't know what 5.1 system you have but my 5500 can easily be connected to 3-4 sources so that isn't a problem :)

It all depends on dewpoint. If the components of the computer are colder than the dewpoint of the air you're bringing in, then condensation will happen, and it won't be good for any components. If you doubt it, stick a steam wand in your computer for a few minutes and then turn it on. :twisted: Sin...

I would think condensation would happen. It sounds kind of dangerous to me. Especially when it gets cold. I already thought water cooling was hazardous enough! As a side note though, how well does the ZM80D cool the 7900GT? Derek Not sure that condense might be an issue since when it's snowing it's...

with fan mate at max, it's still more silent (so slower) than the fan reduced to 27 % with rivatuner. (default is 50 %, which is way too loud, and no additional cooling to 27 % when working in 2d) Since the fan is already controlled (unless I missunderstand) then you add another resistance you are ...

The quoted 28.5dB at idle doesn't sound quiet although as an HTPC, you don't have the same stringent noise level requirements. It's rather impressive to see a dB number that acctually can be 100% correct unless I've missed something that has to be the first time ever :wink: I think we all expect it...

Only 2-3 degrees difference with fan on resp off. But it climbed a little to fast with CPU-burn fo my ...

Nice job. Pics of the case with the top on would help clarify the design. I've day-dreamed of a case with the same motherboard orientation. I would use a removable lid that was positioned about an inch above the top of the case. The gap would be for exhaust and cable routing. Access to connectors w...

I'm still somewhat puzzled about this setup. You have fans blowing inward, an exhaust hole directly behind the Ninja, but is the top left open? If not, just how did you seal around the cables, etc. You need some internal pressure to force airflow through the Ninja....but I cannot see how you're ach...
