    I do not want to cut into the sides to wire the HDs.

    I am using two SATA extensions and extending them. I will wire them in because the connectors are too large to go thru any existing holes.

    I sleeved only one extension and it is shorter than what is in the pictures.

    Picture 1 is the sata extension

    Cables were shortened.

    are you venting the warm air from the CPU and GPU, out the front or top of your rig?

    there is a top fan (blue LED venting air out)
    There is a rear fan (white and black) venting air out.
    two fans front venting air into the case...

    however...the two fans on the radiator are venting the radiator.

    I know its not in the same flow but id rather have something blowing on the radiator directly.

    I didnt think anyone would catch my fan flow

    The HD 4850 block does not cover everything for the HD 4890 extreme so I will be getting a new water block for the card. The temps are fine but I want it to run even cooler than it is now. The temps range from 38C to 63C. Because I am running 8GB memory, I think that is the reason for a slower 3D Mark score. Its scores around 10824 3DMARK AND to me thats too slow. I know this can do better but it has to do with the timings of the memory. Right now its overclocked to 3.4Ghz.
