    nor can you point to efficiency loss, if you really care about those 50 or so watts you are wasting by not being in the optimal power range, shut off a light somewhere
    The more I am reading this thread the more I'm thinking this too! I'm not sure I understand the argument.. can anything actually go wrong by having a PSU that has reserves of power or is it just about getting systems absolutely perfect?

    Like, if you buy a larger PSU won't that just cover you pretty much forever no matter how power hungry a system you make in the future? Seems like it would be economical. Or does it cost significantly more on your electricity bill to run a larger PSU?

    I could understand suggesting that a 10,000TB hard drive might be overkill, but it seems like the go-to critique is suggesting a 650 watt PSU instead of a 700 watt PSU.

    Alright, so following up from previously, the Corsair C70 really does shine and look so much better with an 'actual' side window, imo It looks even nicer now.

    Just got my case today and just got it almost finished. Just need to tie down the cables in the back and make sure there's no way I can hide the other cables or just sleeve them all white, I haven't decided yet.

    Next upgrade on my list is to upgrade these two crappy ass 22" monitors to 24" or bigger and to replace all the fans with white led fans just need to wait for my paycheck to buy those next week. Other than that I think it's fine. Once I'm completely finished, cables will be tied off in the back and it'll move to the desk on the left. And this case is so damn heavy, I pulled a muscle in my shoulder lifting it. I know, I know, I need to exercise more

    Oh and, I WANT A GTX670 IN SLIT NAO!

    Please stop quoting images without breaking the image link.
    And in fairness, it's not only a big trackpad; It's more a small computer.

    Well, it's finally finished. I hope I post the images correctly, if not I apologize.

    Not how we usually post images, but that's fine. Anyway, your build looks fine!

    I'm thinking about sleeving my cables all white to match the inside of my case, but being about to replace the PSU in about a month I really don't want to do it twice lol. Guess it'd be good practice though. And I still need to work on the backside as I did what I could to keep it organized back there, but I still need to put force to get the back panel on .

    Finally got my GPU back, so I decided to make a new pic, now with all the parts in it.



    Had to move my soundcard because of the gpu reactor thingie, which is probably just a gimmick anyways...



    Pretty creative heat fin shapes aswell...

    Temps went from 98°c in furmark to 55°c.

    Well the bend on that heat fin looks more like a manufacturing error.
