    Did some overclocking on the 7950. Temps are around 75c when stressed and the stock cooler makes it sound like a leaf blower. Need to get it underwater soon...

    Not really anything that interesting today as all I did was put my hardware into the case :p

    Look what TNT brought me!

    A few extras that were included with the case

    Mystery bag

    This is where a photo of the case would go, if I had remembered to take one...

    Nice and simple HDD mounting. Simply slots into place :)

    Motherboard in

    GPU installed

    This is one of the only issues I had with the case but it's still an extremely annoying one. Since the plastic above the PCI slots is directly in line with the hold-down screws, you have to remove the entire back panel and pull back the metal mounting plate to get the screws in... A PITA, to say the least.

    Tidied up and hidden

    Windowed side panel back on with everything installed :D

    Watercooling goodness coming soon!
