Very nice setup 34erd!

Thanks... now that I've got it all tidy I'm regretting I didnt buy a window and UV light. Oh well, thats what case modding is for

Helmie, I have the same case as you. (Or I think I do... TT tsunami?) There is little room in the back, but if you just stuff it in there I think your temps will go down even more. Stuffing all the wires in the HDD rack doesnt do much because your blocking the flow of the intake fan. My panel is bulging, but you can fit it in there

Yeah, the Big Typhoon wasnt on right, too loose! Once it was tightened up, the temps dropped to 28C

I have the Thermaltake Soprano, its basicly the same as the Tsunami, but it has a plastic door, and its made of steel not alluminium. The bonus with the Soprano is that you get complete tools free fun!

I have the Thermaltake Soprano - And i did try to put the wires back there, but eben with one wire it wouldnt fit (Damn molex connectors lol)
Also, all my wires are behind it, so theres nothing blocking the fan. The ONLY connectors that you can see now are the opticals, HDD and the wire going to the window fan.

Thats because i organized my cables to look like that a few weeks ago, then i realized that i should put them in the back of the case.

Oh, I see

I cut myself a couple of times trying to sneek the power conectors behind the PSU. Damn sharp aluminum.

EDIT: Now that my rigs back on the floor my temps are ocasionaly dropping to 28 C... thats cold. I dont really trust the software though.

helmie · 01-29-2006, 05:38 PM

Ah, are you running yours through the hole right next the the PSU? My PSU is a server class, so its a little longer, meaning I cant get the cables through there!

34erd · 01-29-2006, 06:08 PM

Yeah, I snuck them under the PSU and through here:

Do you guys think I should polish the inside of my case?
