Well despite millions of you telling me to go for the P900 or the P190 or even Lian-Li i went for the silverstone.

This is my work log from thoughout the day, and is a step by step picture of how it went together.

For people that want to know temps:

8800GTX 35C idle 43C full load (after gaming for a few hours)

Intel Core 2 Quad @ 3.6GHz 35C idle 43C full load (Intel thermal Analysis 100% on each core)

NO YOU CANNOT HAVE MY T-SHIRT

Case arrived and is stripped down.

Radiator is assembled (twin 120mm, 2x 120mm intake, 2x 120mm exhaust)

After mounting the rad to the top of the case, i cut a hole in the back with a dremel to thread the water tubes through.

looks cheap (like it didn't cost a lot, not in quality) /sarcasm

edit: was the radiator originally made to fit down below because it looks like you've got a lot of extra space down there.

after the HD's where mounted, the water pump and PSU the space quickly went, i did originally want it mounted inside but it wasnt possible with my HD config (2x 150GB Rapters RAID 0, 2x Hitachi deskstar RAID 1, 1x 36GB rapter for fraps)

i was going with a 3x 120mm rad but my kit came with a ninja 2x 120mm rad and after some research it out performs nearly all 3x 120mm rads and the 3x 120mm rad i wanted was far far far to expensive.

they are plugged into the mobo and vid cards so when they are under load they speed up but when its idle they hardly spin and make no noise at all.

thats what i based my decision on, like how much is P900 i paid £169.99 for my TJ07 and its so thick the side panels are like 8mm thick its so robust and just looks teh sex.

one problem with the P900 is everyone has them.
