Nice and clean, love the color scheme!

 

(did you paint those fan rings yourself?)

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

Nice rig ;)

But why should he flip, looks better to me like that. The cables are so close to the grommet now.

Stock coolers - The sound of bare minimum

Airflow, the fan would be facing the vent on the bottom which is made for that.

I don't think that makes that much of a difference without the graphics card.

Why....because the heat from the psu will be exhausted into case so don't don't do it!!

Hmm, somehow I think it'd make bugger all difference

edit: the psu fires air out the back @jinroh10

The PSU fan is sucking the hot air from the case and blowing it out the back

What do you mean by "downloading rig", just curious. I guess you are not using it for gaming due to the lack of GPU.

:o That looks so clean.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

no need. With no GPU there's no heat inside the system, other than what the CPU kicks out but the H75 deals with that. Also with such little power draw, the fan dosen't even spin

I have considered it, but I've got no paint left, and they dont give you any extra's in the box which I would have preferred in case (when) I screw it up :D

Torrents. my old cheap nasty prebuilt struggled unraring large files/playing 1080p content and copying them to my NAS at the same time. It also had literally NO upgradeability (other than adding more RAM) but it had a low end CPU in it anyway so I decided to ditch it and build my own.

 

Have an i7 with SLI 780 Classifieds in it for gaming anyway (there's a thread on here)

yes :D

 

Going for the Z87 chipset and adding an SSD were overkill too.

 

but its only money.

It feels as though no games ever leave the BETA stage anymore, until about 3 years after it officially releases. - Shd0w2 2014
