Thx D T


EDIT: What I want to see is how it looks installed.

Towards the end, it does show it installed. Not the best shots and it's not in a case, but you can see how it looks installed and with the card inserted into the mobo.

No, we want graphic pictures showing its full glory

I will take pics after I get that MB and CPU. I'm still debating on a few things.

This is what my case looks like:

I`ve got an identical case, the front light on mine is red. They`re built like a tank, have gotten a lot of good use out of it.

How is the airflow on that case?

Normal airflow. I have two 80mm low RPM bringing air in from the front, and one low RPM 80mm along with the PSU's 120mm blowing that air out the back.

The best place to help one design the perfect noiseless computer (I hate hearing anything having to do with my computer unless its audio that i asked for) is this site here:

www.silentpcreview.com

That is where I go before doing any upgrades on my system to see if they have any information on a particular cooler, or fan, etc.

Same. I wouldn't trade it for any other case I've seen lately. They were pricey back when, commanding $220 to $250 (w/o psu of course), but I have and will continue to get much mileage out of it.

I had to dremmel mine inside to make my monster Silverstone PSU fit though, but I did a perfect job and you would never know unless I told you. It had two tabs sticking towards the PSU area that I could never figure out why they put it there, so I removed it.

You have good taste.
My first computer case was a Coolermaster ATCS-200 and then updated to an ATCS-201 with lateral window. First grade cases, much better than Lian li's. Then around 2003 Coolermaster went cheap which was a real pity. They stopped doing 100% aluminium cases and when I upgrade my old trusted 201 I choose a Silverstone Tj-09 (which was designed by ex-Coolermaster engineers). Removable motherboard tray should be a standard feature in any pc case, even Lian-Li has a half assed implementation of such a concept. Don't get me started on Zalman, expensive aluminium cases without any of the niceties of old time Coolermaster or Silverstones.
