I was considering the Silverstone SG01-B, and an NZXT Rogue case as well, before I bought the Mini P180.
Didn't even think to look at the Lian-Li V-350B. Wish I had:rolleyes:

Ha, you're more than welcome here.:)
Thanks, i really like the case too.

Again, great work! Now relax and spend some time with your new little bundle of joy!

... don't mention exams.. makes me feel sick! ;)

Well at stock (3.33GHz and VID=1.05V), idle temps were 24 deg C and load was 29. Not bad eh?
At 4.18GHz and 1.25V, idle was 27 and load was 42.
Now i'm sitting at 4GHz, and idle is 26 with load reaching 39. Oh and GPU idles at 33, NB at 38.
Can't really complain about that!:cool:

Me too. I've got one side of the case off, i'm enjoying the view. After exams i'll hunt around for someone to cut me a window or two. :up:

It's bolted to the side of my desk, directly below the case. There was a few pics a few pages back.:yepp:

Oh very nice! :up: especially since it was particularly warm down here and your temps were still nice! Mine was idling at mid 40's in my hot pit of a room! (37 ambient :shakes:)

Great Job! I gotta see it for real after exams are done and dusted!
Also, good to see you're looking into a window (pun intended):ROTF: It will really make it that much sweeter!
Great work:D

Yeah trueeee... i guess if the the box is all closed up cable management isnt a must...

The way i did it requires cutting the case so i don't think you would want to do that anyways seeing how it's completed LoL...

nICE Build mate enjoy it!

Great work with the case! Small case, big work! :up:

I like the way you used my bracket on the back.
You also managed to stuff 10 pounds of crap into a 5 pound bag which is no simple feat.
Good job!!

Your bracket is genius dave, it worked perfectly there. As you can see i actually didn't fit it all in, the rad and pump/res spilled out the sides!:ROTF:

Cheers
