The case is an old Lian-Li PC-S80 case (with 3 x scythe slipstream 120mm 800 rpm) that I had to cannibalize to get the 6950 to fit in. I know it looks pretty bad, but you can't hear it from 30 cm away even under full load with the gpu going up to 70-75 degrees and cpu to 55-60.
    Nice cable management, looks like mine. Harhar.
    Also, I just ordered some stuff since I'm back from Sweden!
    A Scythe Kaze fan controller, the Noctua NH-D14, a 5.25'' to 3.5'' adapter thing, a 3.5'' to 2.5'' adapter thing, and two Noctua NF-P12 fans. Let's hope it gets here before the weekend.
    (I forgot to buy the Arctic cleaning kit to get the old thermal paste off my CPU though, let's hope I can manage it anyway)

    He did not post any setup, he only quoted someone else's.

    Ok since less people surf the "sweet spot" thread, ill pose my question here.

    I am currently using the Coolermaster HAF 912 case. To those of you who have used this case, how can you tell which parts of the cords coming from the front of the case are positive or negative. They are not marked at all, and my motherboard manual clearly shows there is a distinct way these cords need to be plugged in. This is one of the last things I have to do for my build, assuming I assembled everything correctly. (fingers crossed)
    Thank You Shyama for the sig again!!

    The LEDs only work one way, just try them. If they don't light up, you've swapped positive and negative. As for the on/off and reset buttons, it doesn't really matter. It's a switch, creating a short between the "positive" and the "negative" and thereby sending a signal to the powersupply to turn it on, just like when you put a piece of metal between the green and a black wire on the 24-pin to turn an unplugged PSU on.

    Adaption.

    Speaking of which. Contemplating the H100 + 4 added case fans. One of which would have to be ghetto-rigged to sit behind the empty 5.25" bays.
    So many plans for this case... yet, I don't want to abuse it... ;_;

    The Level 10 GT is big enough as well.

    My case already has 5 fans:
    3x 200mm Thermaltake Colorshift fans. 2 intake, one exhaust
    1x 140mm exhaust fan. Thermaltake. All I know about this one.
    1x 120mm generic fan I bought some time ago. Salvaged from old case.

    Now, in the 5.25" space there is a 120mm space at the top, which I'm not sure how to reach. Below the headphone-stand is space for another one presumably. Finally, I know there is space for a 120mm fan behind the 5.25" bay covers.

    Trust me, there are no size problems. Doesn't stop me from dreaming.

    The Xigmatek Elisium is a behemoth. I'm sure i could put my NZXT M59 inside the Xigmatek (not even joking).

    How do you get another case you really like when you already have one computer?

    You build another! I think depending how certain things play out, maybe I'll do that with a Sandybridge-E LGA Socket 2011 build... Xigmatek Elysium anyone? :3

    That's a plan! I'm really looking forward to Ivybridge, I want to see the specs. /drools in anticipation

    I am excited for Ivydridge and i would also like AMD to stop delaying bulldozer so i can see if AMD will actually be able to create some competition for Intel.

    Oh yeah! Bulldozer, right, right. 2013 looks like a great year for AMD. /silly
