Yep, I am going to redo the window, minor scratching and one small crack from the build. Live and learn :P

Specs on the system are in sig...

I upgraded to the Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme with a Skythe Slip Stream 110CFM fan.

I also have 2 88 CFM Yateloons in the front and 1 Yateloon in the back.

The sound deadening material is from FrozenCPU.

Please give input and suggestions. I am always up for ideas.

Nice case. Think you should cover up those holes in the side panel behind the plexi though.

I was thinking the same thing...

Any suggestions on what to cover them up with and maintain good looks?

**NysoO** · 02-16-2008, 01:50 PM

Wouldn't it be cool if you masked the plexi n painted a black "border" on the back of it to cover the holes. Think it would look cool.

Very good idea. Didnt even think of that. I will be cutting a new side window in a few days. I will mask over and paint and post up some pictures.

Thanks!!

No problem mate. Just be very careful with the masking so you get a nice and sharp line

Much agreed.

WOW That rig is beautiful. How much room do you have inside the case? I heard stacker 830's are somewhat cramped.

There is alot of room to work with. I have the enermax 1000 watt PSU, and I have run SLI in this case before plenty of room.

Even more so, I had a complete water cooling kit inside this case at one point, with a triple rad, pump and res all internally mounted.

WOW. From what I'd heard, it isn't that big. Thanks. I was considering it, but after what you said about size, I know that it is the case for me

****UPDATES*****

More pics to follow, some remodeling, and minor changes.

And the 9800GX2 will fill the space where the 8800 once lay.

**PaRn ssR** · 03-18-2008, 09:13 PM

Cool Case

**Kingcarcas** · 03-19-2008, 07:33 AM

That is teh sex

**Cpl Ledanek** · 03-19-2008, 08:12 AM

I wanna do this flipped Stacker 830 so bad since I might put it back-to-back with my other windowed-pc underneath my desk:

but most ppl suggest not to flip the Abit-IP35 PRO due to its heatsink configuration...

I do plan on adding as much fan as possible (including the side fans)
---what do you think Kryckter?

**cloned** · 03-19-2008, 08:14 AM

Awesome case, can't wait to see the 9800 GX2 in it.

It helps isolate the heat between the video card and the CPU much better since heat goes up, not down. And a VGA can take a few extra degrees but a CPU may not.

Heat moving up is totally irrelevent in this case.

Even the slightest amount of airflow will totally negate it.

On the other hand, it looks cool!

Great case, I've always wanted to find a nice case for the left side of my desk!
