Fantastic. What a beautiful computer you've got.

DrooolNice setup
Wow amazing! Lets see some crysis benchmark!

MaK, have you tried putting the radiator of your H50 at the back or does it work better at the top?
Just wondering as I can also mount in both positions, but am currently running it on the rear.
I'm just thinking with the whole hot air rises thing, then all the how air in the box is going through the radiator.
If I have time tonight I will try moving mine to the top and will see what happens
Love the colours, never seen this combination before.

Get rid of those ugly gray drives, do some sleeve-work on those cables and it'll be as good as it gets mate

Sorry if I am in a crappy, tired ass mood, but isn't the lower card in an 8x slot? wouldn't is be better to pull cool air into the rad, instead of pushing warm case air through it?

Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
how about sending me one when you're done with them?

@justin.kerr it is better to have cold air from outside running through the rad, but then it dumps all your CPUs heat into the box
Thanks everyone. I just wanted to share. Hopefully I can get some numbers up this weekend but since I don't have extreme cooling it won't be huge.
I have never had it on the back. I liked the way that it looks on top. It is in push-pull and runs very cool so I have just left it the way that it is.Originally Posted by reflex

800D has hotswap bays on the front of the case. They are behind that black plastic, next to the fan. The fan on the side blows on your hard drives.
I hadn't thought about it but it is in the x8 slot. I have read reviews on the PCIE scaling and it makes little difference so I will probably leave it there for day to day because of looks and that is how I always ran my 5870s. I was having trouble getting it stable at anything over 3.8 last night for 3DM. I had it booting at 4.2 but it wouldn't finish 3DM at anything over 3.8. When I get that squared away I will move it to the x16 for bench. The airflow might get restricted on the top card but as they are now they do not break 80C on auto fans.
At least in the days of 4000 series Radeons that was true. The performance difference between even PCIe 1.0 x8 and PCIe 2.0 x16 was insignificant outside of benchmarks.
