Actually, the way he did it is fine. While he's not utilizing the bottom vent and not isolating the PSU, he is using its fan as a system exhaust fan. I have seen plenty of people opt for that.

HOWEVER, I DO believe you have your side panels on the wrong sides from the pictures you posted. The panel with the larger vent should be on the left side when looking at the font of the case wink.gif

Also true. When I first got my trooper, I was beside myself with the wiring room- never been able to make a case pretty inside haha! It takes practice to get the wiring right. I just finished totally redoing it again (set the drive bays as side accessible instead of the standard configuration with fans out front...that changed everything!

Also, great news! I got a nice lump of cash today so after I take care of some rather important things, I was thinking about buying an i7 for my 1156 board. Just curios- is it worth it? What are their overclocking abilities? I may just save up for a new generation board and chip if it's not worth it...

There is also the option to place them inside and have them blowing closer to the CPU and GPU.

I think I'm going to take back what I said about an i7 because apparently it will not do much for performance for me. Going to start looking at Graphics Card upgrades (maybe crossfire 6950s or upgrade to a 2GB version). I just wish I could for certain get my hands on another unlockable 6950. Is there much noticeable difference between 1GB and 2GB?
