Man she looks good, fantastic end result. +rep

That case looks great. But it looks a bit messy inside if you know what I mean...

Yea Its a Sealed Motherboard tray so theres no place to stash cables. And the side panel only leaves about 3/8" gap.

So all the cables go into the spare 5.25" bays. It's cluttered atm since all those new parts got installed. still have to figure out where i want my probes and stuff.

Brilliant work mate, love that color combination. I never liked the Vento until now. +rep

I ran a Volcano 11 on my 4400+ for a while with the next-best Tt 80mm fan - had to wind it up to 4800 RPM for gaming or it would overheat! That case was rubbish in terms of cooling, though.

I don't blame you for not painting your Enermax - those are quite attractively finished, I've got a lighter-blue 420w unit in my backup machine.

Ha thanks man. these fans do spool up hardcore. I added Bearing oil to this fan awhile back and it went even faster. dunno if its moving more air or not but that high pitched whine is there for sure.

yea No paint on the Enermax. I bought that back when AGP 6800GT's were top of the line. I paid over 200$ for it at the time. 600W was the best. It's a old one and the parts inside are a Hell of alot better then the Noisetaker II.

Something to be said for Enermax. 3-4 years of gaming almost everyday and the voltages are still what they were when i first powered it up to the dot. 12.03v

One last question. Why not mod the mobo tray so you CAN put wires behind it? All you need is a couple of squares right?

Or just a few holes with some rubber grommets. Will also add a bit of ventilation behind the mobo.

Theres no space behind the motherboard tray on this case. The other panel pretty much mounts flush with the mobo tray on the other side. maybe 3/8" at the most in some spots.

I've got a sinkplate mated against the back of the cpu bracket holder to help dissapate heat out into the chassis.


This really isn't you know a show room stack. i've always got my hands off in it. plus i take it all apart once a month to clean the dust out. So uber cable management can be a pain. I've done it in the past with stacks and always seems to be a pain in the ass when you've routed your cables all throughout the board makes something as simple as removing a mobo a complete pain in the ass if you know what i mean.

Gimmie a couple days to get some more spare time and I'm going to stuff n stuck some cables out of the way.

but i can see holes below the mobo for those usb cables

But sure would be a shame to tarnish 87$ worth of paint with a holesaw.

You don't need to full everything apart to clean it. Just use an air compressor from a distance (get too close and condensation may form), works like a treat.

thats not condensation thats water in your tank.

Don't worry, I empty our compressor after every use .
