not sure really, i used to play crysis on my old 4850 crossfire rig and got bored, i just like to try and keep the system balanced!

i was going with raptors in raid but im gonna hang on to the single 74gig drive and wait until windows7 comes out and purchase an ssd drive!

i would love to put another loop inthere for the 4890's, i might see if i can fit some more rads in here lol

On the rear 120mm fan slots? Should do a rad on each side then fans push/pull:P But nice rig going there, love the tubing...

Here is a suggestion...use the dual rad for the 4890s and buy the 200mm rad for the CPU :D

yeh i have seen a rig with this rad inplace, only problem is the heat risses and i cant see this being effective as you will be sucking the hot air out of the system using the top fan.

even if i turn the fan around so its pushing air into the case i would have 3x 120mm fans (intake) 1x 200mm fan (intake) 2x 120mm fans (exhaust)

not really balanced!

however i will look up the reviews and see what temps its getting

doesnt matter "its alluminium" no good to me

thanx for the link
