    cool, looks pretyty good, but i was talking about cases mainly right now, got any suggestions on a case under £80

    Well I've decided that I would proabably buy this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CWCH...1676515&sr=8-2

    And make sure I get a case that supports that size of radiator/fans

    I have my rig on Xigmatek Elysium. I dont know your prise on it, but where i live its low prised. So look for it where you live.
    I have now two 3x120 rads in it without modding the case.

    Here's TTLs review of it.


    One thing that i like to say is that, if you get a case that have air vents/fans in side panel( like this Sigmatek and allmost all new cases), it wount be quiet with air cooling, as all audio and staff can get straigth out from that grafig card. Specially if you have your pc on taple next to you.

    you want a big case and if going water cooling buy some second hand parts off ebay .. cheaper buy miles ..
    i run 2 triple rads not just for heat but fan speed is less with 2 .. and i never go above 50deg c with half fans ..
    one on the front pulls in and one on top pushes out plus 2x90mm fans on the back sucking in ..

    @mummy where do you put your second tripple ??i'm looking at a new case my pc 70 is well over aged ...lol

    It's tied with cable ties as im looking in to new rads like EK's XTX and Alphacool's UT60 or something like that.
    If i remove that BlueRay i would be able to install 4x120 Rad in there, but summer is comeing

    I'm still in awe going from a Coolermaster Sniper Storm to the CM HAF X, so much room in my case, i think there may be homeless people living under my video card.
