Here is my current build and I use the house fan during benching runs to dump hot air straight out the window. I made a work log of my air cooling mod run and have lowered load by at least 10C:
Air Cooling Project: 101. Lowered CPU load by 9-10C .
I also recently won a new mobo and it should be here any day I'm really looking forward to it:
GA-EP45T-EXTREME, should give me even better load temps I believe.
Will post a further pic when I get the new mobo set up.
well if there are any mistakes, here are your replacement sidesQuote:

cabbs, is that quattro psu good?
It's been working fine for me, but my stuff doesn't really stress it. I needed another PSU, and this one looked nice at a decent price.
BoldEagle, are you running some Windows 98se in that pc? that theme looks like win98se..
looks like xp to me :s
Second thatQuote:

That is one of the greatest benefits of the open case build imho it is dumping the Video Card temps and removing any potential thermal backwash. I lowered Video Card load by about 10C from 50-80C down to 50-70C, idle is the same.
okay. I dont use classic interface cuz its f***ing ugly...
People use it because it has uses less bells and whistles [resources]. I don't care about performance that much though so Aero for me.
Damn you should see some of the tweaked benching OS builds, now they are ugly and look like something from the 1980's but they get results because of a lot less processors running:

My mate has one build that has 6 processes running.
6 ARE YOU SERIOUS?
71 here. Mind you I do have a lot of things open and I know my tv card has 6 of it's own :D
Linux Mandriva 2008 3D Expo + Windows vista Aero = takes freaking much ram but looks fu**ing great! :up:
Yea serious, but it is only for benching SuperPi runs (save results for later posting) and that's it, would need a couple more for 3DMark installing DD only, but dump all the unnecessary crap and you have a mean but ugly OS.Quote:

my antec three hundred w/ inside painted black, fan holes cut out, and a lil dvd drive stealth mod =) - pretty good wiring for having 4 fans and using 0 zip ties =) -- for window mod should i use clear or grey tint acrylic...??? that is the question, recommendations are welcome

@crazydiamond: what gpu cooler is that?

that card, i just removed the plastic shroud... i actually found the card for $135 shipped on the egg as an open box, then day after i got mine they had the open box one for $180 =) -- i like these msi coolers a lot, way cooler/quieter than stock
Does the xig 1283 cool better blowing towards exhaust or upwards do you think?Quote:

Nice rig, for your side panel clear acrylic almost always looked good. I'm not sure about grey tinted though, are you talking about smoked acrylic?Quote:
