how much did your dual 5870's set you back bro?

would seem pretty steep looking at the time you posted this vid

[abshassan]

@starwarsjediknights Yeah it was mate, i paid $585AUD each for em, this was around March 2010

So how is the h50 setup, 2 extra fans attached? I love your case it's wicked. I have a cm storm scout, it's good but the hard drive bay limits me to 10.5 inches for video cards. I am upgrading to the 930 and a gigabyte ga ud3r and 6gb OCZ 1600 MHz. I am wondering between a xfx 5850 xxx or vapor x 5870. Price is an issue, great stuff dude

[abshassan]

@AxemastaGAMING thanks dude, the H50 was in push-pull config with the fans both blowing air out of the case through the back. Just went to my local hardware store and got the extra screws from there. I now have a NHD14 cpu cooler, got rid of the H50, found the NHD14 far superior. As for the Vid cards mate, if money was an object (looks like its not) the 5850 are far better value and I've herd it o/c to 5870 specs very easily... Otherwise the VaporX is an Ace choice

Hey there, just a one more question, how is the dust filter on this one? Dose it have filters on the back, side and top? I'm so attracted to the case atm, I might buy it any minute ><

[abshassan]

@SnowmuchX

Hey mate, it has a dust filter on the two front intakes, on the PSU vent and on the bottom vent. I've got a side fan as well with my own custom filter.

@pioneerz450 Only way it would fit, the door wouldn't close because of the knobs on it

[pioneerz450]

i thought the fan controller looked nice just a bit pushed in...

[Orionn0101]

Yo abshassan ! What's the name of your rheobus please ? And where did you get the whites fans you added ( and their name ) ? Sorry for my english :D

Really nice case , gratz !

[Geekman257]

Does it have a HDD led?

[mymichellegunsnroses]

@abshassan It's still more expensive in Norway. XD

[MrChris2far]

hey does this case come with a motherboard speaker?

thanks

[blacktache]

hey nice rig man! I don't understand thought why you didn't spaced your video cards. The asus p6x58d does triple crossfire so why didnt you skip a pci E 2.0. I know that you can chose first and second to run on x16 and the third one on x1 but you can also run the first one on x16 and the other 2 on x8. I personally would rater run my second card on x8 and not deal with heat problems on the first one. Why aren't you doing that?

Actually fractal design is not a new company ;) it has just new name, old name was cooltek :)
