That's just my GTX 260 sitting around waiting for some PhysX.

The displays are powered by a 6870 until something good comes out of the 7000 series. Eyefinity is just inactive in the shot. For the time being it has definitely been worth turning down some of the details for the extra view.

Have you thought about upgrading your cpu cooler to a corsair h100, your case seems to be the perfect fit for it.

Fantastic rig ! Great, clean setup and awesome components

Wow that looks like my rig, except neat!

I dun goofed






I forgot to see if there was enough space for my dvd-rw drive.

[caveman-jim]

can't you just move it down a couple of bays?

[MangaSpawn64]

Not enough 5 1/4 bay

Correct, there is a 280mm radiator in the front.

Was kidding couldn't see it

How about an USB drive ? would look cleaner than that one sticking out of your case...

Baahhhh!!!

Worrying about case appearance is for wusses and girls.

That looks really cool man, shaken not stirred wish I had the confidence to do a proper water cooling system. Not so much the CPU, but triple or even dual GPU's might be a challenge for a n00b like me.

our new HTPC cabinet. Well, really it's just new to us though i did add the pull out shelving for the components.



Edit: sorry for the sideways cell picture. fixed

Definitly thought that was on the floor sideways, l2crop!

Fixed the angle. The picture is still crud. The room is just dark for my poor cell phone camera. Need to take the picture with a real camera .

I think he means lack of airflow. Doesn't look like any of the components get much air.

[aviphysics]

There is a blower fan on top of the amplifier which gives pretty good air flow and the air flow from the blower feels cool (in the picture it sits just next to the HDMI splitter/switch and blows out the front). There is also a vent in the top of the unit. Additional Denon says there amps have sophisticated thermal management stuff that will shut down the receiver before it is hot enough to damage itself. The receiver also never runs anywhere close to full power. I suspect it never pushes much more than a few watts to each speaker (the front channels are medium sized bookshelf speakers). I am also only using 4 of the 7 channels.

The HTPC draws it's air from the bottom and uses about 50W at max load measured at the wall (Athlon II x2 240, laptop HD, BD-ROM, Radeon 6450). The CPU does run a little hot cause I would rather the CPU fail some day then listen to its fan (under full load it hits about 55C). The HTPC has been running in that case for over a year already with the receiver sitting directly on top without any problems.

The air around the xbox does not feel especially warm and it has several inches on either side and about a an inch above though it doesn't have any vents on top.

The HDMI splitter/switch uses very little power.

The Wii does sit in the top drawer under the the HTPC but we leave the drawer open when it is in use.

I should also mention that there is a good several inches behind the shelving unit.

I just don't see it having any problems do to heat.

The one issue that I did have is that the xbox 360 responds to my windows remote. This was easily solved by taking off the front face plate and blocking the sensor with a piece of aluminum foil.

yea; as you can see I take my console(s) thermal limitations very seriously

[aviphysics]

I would be worried about them falling over.

BTW... if you get one more xbox and 2 more screens you can play Forza 4 in surround

Updated picture with the H80 install.
Arrowslinger, nice case

I first saw it I just had to have it.



I wish I had got a motherboard with 2 pci-e 16 But do I want the hassle of xfire?

Its ok I got the green light from the wife on the new ATI card

xfire isn't bad, but I have to say games seem smoother with a single card.

[Arrowslinger]

My other is x16 slot, running at x4 so I am thinking not even worth dropping another 5870 in.

What are temps like for those GTX 580's in tri-sli?

[demo]

Fine at 900/2050, but as you can see I have 2 120mm fans blowing on them from the front, and theres another installed on the side panel blowing onto the cards. And what you cant see is, I put 2 small rubber cubes between the cards to separate them a bit, without them theyre sandwiched together too close and it restricts air flow.
