Fun lapping those TRUE's isn't it? But worth the effort.

I don't know if the HR-03GTX could be installed with the stock back plate, but it would look better than a "naked" card.
Windtunnel? Ah, you have a 1200. It's a nice case though, I would rather put up with a bit of extra fan noise for the excellent cooling it provides.

Still waiting to buy the last few bits for the HR-03GTX. The damn thing is sitting on top of my desk staring at me through it's little windowed box
I picked my Q9650 up for $345 shipped from the Egg. It want too bad I sold off my beloved wolfdale and my old 780i that has been sitting in my closet forever. I can't wait untill that thing comes to my door. I can't wait to clock a new chip.

I replaced all of the tri-cools on my 1200 with those 1900rpm slipstreams they're not too bad but the high speed 120x38mm ultra kazes on my True put it over the top. I my just swap them all out for some yate loons one day. All in all I love that case though.

Everything in my rig is black. The board, my 280, the True, even the inside of the case and I put in a couple of red ccls so the backplate would look sweet with the HR-03.

Ireally can't wait to see what you do with the 280. You have to moniter temps and run furmark. Thats what I want to see.
