LG Blu-Ray/HD DVD Player-DVD Burner-
2 ULTRAKAZE 120mm-133.6 CFMs-45dba-
Coolermaster MiniATX case

took me about 4-4.5 hours to install all components into this case. I installed the CPU and heatsink/fan before placing inside the case. Then I had to remove some rivits on the top side of the case to get the PSU in cause dumb me forgot. As you can see the heatsink is HUGE. The 9800GTX card is awesome. It looks cool and runs great.
The KAZE 12cm fans are LOUD and drive me crazy but I somehow got over’em. They are louder than a regular sized box fan in low speed. They move a LOT of air though. The case at the moment does not have a side window but when I get time off work I will be putting a one. This case is so compact, I have to remove the graphics card to reset the jumpers when overclocking crashes the PC. I always try to do a really good job organizing the wires just to look nice but for this case and heatsink/fan I need to keep them out of view so they dont get caught up in fans.

CPU ideals at 8C/44F -on VISTA
RAM ideals at 32C/89F -on VISTA

CPU ideal with coolermaster liquid cooling-70F-

I reccomend anyone into nonliquid cooling to get Zerotherm Nirvana NV120.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THANK YOU.
