    i think it is better if you mount that front radiator over that large hole at the back of the case

    :eyebrow: Cute?

    :p

    I'd love to, but that large hole is where the PSU is currently located, I've just removed it from the model for the time being.

    And I've improved my CPU cooling for a bit! I turned the fan round >.<

    Okay, well it's complete, I'll get some photos up tomorrow, but here's some tmeps for you (note, this is a single SLIM 120 + 140mm rad with push pull fans):

    CPU idle: 27*C
    GPU idle: 29*C

    CPU load: 32*C
    GPU load: 33*C

    Both load: 41*C

    Am I happy? Too right I bloody am! Best of all it's totally silent! Get some photos tomorrow.

    Holy cow, Batman! Those are some nice temps - open case or closed?

    Closed case, But because it's so compact airflow doesn't really die out, read BT's review on it, they said prety much the same, gave really good temps.

    Very nice, but that bend on the cpu tubing worries me, what about a 45 connector? I reckon you could lose the lower one on the front rad and use that for the cpu block?

    I agree with Matticus - use the lower 45-degree fitting from the rad to remedy that kink.
    Otherwise looking good, although I don't understand the need for that tube holder holding the tube that goes from upper rad to lower rad. Seems pointless?

    I'll have a look into it, I noticed it a while ago, doesn't seem to be effecting anything really. And that tube folder is stopping it popping outwards, where the tubing is slightly too long and the rotary fitting it pushes outwards, it's just keeping it flush to the case.
