Default My build... The Game

Haven't recieved anything yet, on their way. Total cost was $516* or $442 if the noted things go through (here's hoping). All in all I'd say a good deal. From here I plan to get 2x140mm fans for the top and a fan controller for the front.





*notes
-My Dvd drive comes with adware on it that runs every time you close the drive. I can ask for a refund from Newegg (many people say they have done this) and get $28.99 back. Then, there is a program to remove this... possible free Dvd burner!!!
-$20 ram rebate
-$25 PS rebate

An LG drive, I was getting my cart ready, saw a $29 Dvd drive and go, "looks good!". All fine though, either I remove the software by running an exe, or i do that andget my money back... either scenario I am fine with haha

Isn't it pretty normal for bottom mounted PSUs to be installed upside down? Thats how I did it too.

No, higher end cases usually have an air hole on the bottom allowing the PSU to intake cooler air rather than GPU heat.

It does have an Psu bottom vent. I just wanted to have the glowing psu point inward
