Very nice, clean looking case and you've done a cracking job at cable management, especially considering how tight it is in parts in there.

Two questions: what's that little control box you've got at the top rear for? Is it a fan controller or something? Also, are those AP 181 or 182 fans in the bottom? They look like 181s, but I'm not sure.

Yup, 2 fan controllers for my heatsink and other 120mm fan.

And they are ap181's

Good idea, I might try and do something like that in mine then with the top fan, as the bottom two of course have fan controllers.

It's interesting they used 181s in it, I'd have thought silverstone may have gone with the 182s, due to it having smoother fan contol capabilities and a ball bearing instead of sleeve bearing.

Eh, aparently the ap181 sleve is better than the ap182 Double ball bearing.

 

Ill just have to lube them up every noow and then.

 

and im glad they are not white

Yeah, I remember the showcase build had the white ones in there. Tacky IMO, and they don't go well with many builds.

http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14195/ex-rad-286/Magicool_Extreme_Dual_180mm_x_35mm_Slim_Radiator_MC-RADI180X2.html Grab this radiator, then you can use the two ap fans in the base and not need any more rads in it. You could run an SLI setup on this size radiator I bet.

I was thinking about this for Branwen, and I've two ideas. Bungee straps off the psu, which will be quieter than before but you don't want to throw the case around at all. Or, you could possibly rig it to the top fan mount, which would be noisier than bungee but won't be in plain sight.

and my psu cables are kinda shoved on top of hard drive, so i think ill do the second.

look in the above pics.

Ahh, yeah I've now got a modular psu, so I don't have that issue (as much). Another idea I've just thought of is to get a sheet of acrylic/metal to use as a psu shroud, to it stops on the radiator and goes up to the roof. Behind there, you could have the messy cables, a pump and possibly reservoir and maybe the hard drive, if not on bungee then if you're willing to sacrifice a tiny portion of the case, screw it to the back of it and use rubber washers to dampen the vibrations.

You could also plasti dip the metal if needs be, to add different colours to it without making it permanent. Plus, depending on how many PCI lanes you use, you can change the size of the covered area to fit more stuff in there.

The title needs some rethinking

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it
