Thank you matt! Gonna put that on my soon to do list for my upoming vacation. Also gonna put a push/pull 40mm blue LED on my burning hot VREG.Those are the 2 most important things on my list. That and reseat the TRUE with OCZ freeze. The included chill factor does not impress me much. Tuesday after my second card gets here Ill take some pics. I have several spare fans so may as well do the box venting at that time.

Yeah I think you would notice a difference if you monitored GPU temps with the box on and off, especially with SLI. Not a problem by the way, glad I could help

Finally got this case! I will post some pics as soon i finish my cable management and other stuff

Btw. I almost ripped off the thing in the front of intake fan. Now i'm scared to put it back - it wouldnt go easy

For the front bezel, you're supposed to push from right to left. To put it back, out the left side in first, make sure it is all the way in. Then push down and to the left on the right side. It is very easy once you know what you're doing. When I first got the case, I had some trouble putting the bezel back

Yeah, that's why I put in the OP the best way to handle that cover plate. I knew some people would have trouble with it, luckily I've still not broken any part of the case.

Hey guys this is my first post here, I stumbled across this site when i was researching which case to get...

I finally ordered it this morning, coolermaster is having a sale this weekend for 25% off Whoohoo! haha...

Anyway, if you take a look at my specs you'll see that my build isn't complete yet I am still gathering parts...





However I have a question for you experts out there I am still deciding on which gfx cards to get.....

I have it narrowed down to the gtx 275 with two specific models in mind...

XFX OR MSI

Basically I want to know which card you think will take better advantage of the ATCS' cooling duct.
The MSI which has excellent cooling, but it is all open and dumps hot air back in the case
or
The XFX which has standard cooling however it exhausts out of the rear of the card and I was thinking that the ATCS' duct would work better with this card...

I am leaning towards the XFX because of the looks. included features, warranty ect...

Anyway, I'll post some pics when I get it, and of the build later....Can't wait

The XFX may or may not benefit from it more dependent on the efficiency of the stock cooler. The MSI has a better cooling solution despite the fact that it isnt forced out the back of the case, however with the air duct it would most likely help in exhausting the air anyways.

I would honestly go with the MSI because it looks to be a better product for the money, XFX makes a good product however MSI has upgraded the cooling which will help. Also the MSI card has free shipping, a $15 MIR and two free games, higher clock speed and memory frequency (which could be overclocked on the XFX) how could you go wrong? I wish I could get one . The only thing that is in question between these two products is that XFX has a lifetime warranty where as the MSI has a 3 year limited warranty. I doubt you will keep that card three years from now anyways but im sure its nice to have piece of mind with a lifetime warranty.

Added. Can't wait to see how the cable management turns out, I've got it as good as I can get it right now without cutting holes, I think it's a good baseline for other owners (barring that audio lead).
