Cool Runnings

So my wife doesn't quite understand my current enthusiam. I've spent a few (several) late nights researching, selecting and sourcing all the best (within my budget) parts for my new studio system. Now it's all here and after surprisingly little fustration, its assembled and alive!

I've had my heart set on a Fractal Design case. They come pre installed with something I'm yet to see on other computer cases: Sound baffeling. And most impressive is how solid this case is - its a tank! I've gone for the smaller R3 mini to save a little space and it suits the microATX board from Asus I'd chosen earlier. I had narrowed the case down to 2 - this and the Silverstone F3 Micro Tower.

It was always going to be easier fitting the liquid cooling systel in the Fractal Design case and the Antech 920 works a treat - must say it was the second one sent out, first one had a bubbling noise. The replacement is almost silent and the Antec software only ramps up the fans when you need it.

Lightroom is really the only program I use that causes the i7 quadcore to go beyond 50 degrees C - I'd put that down to the loading of hundreds ofraw high res photos. Photoshop, Indesign, Flash, Illustrator, all running at once, this thing barely breaks at sweat 40 degrees C, and idle it's sub 30 C.

The touch screen fan controller monitors heat in 5 different zones through sensor I've installed and the case fans increase speed when and where required.

How could this possibly be considered 'geeky'

I love how you described your new computer case as a tank!
