DELICIOUS!

notice the advanced cardboard wrapped with electrical tape (shiny black thing to the right of the zalman gpu fan) holding up my video card cuz the heatsink is too heavy
 
i saw some guy sharpen both ends of a pencil down to the appropriate length, wrap it in UV tape and use it to prop up his sli'd cards that had heave heatsinks. i geuss the point fit right into one of those holes on the corners of the pcb's.
 
Lovin' it!!!

Part of me wants to sell my Wavemaster and buy one.

But then I just stare at the WM and realize it looks so effing good. 😛
 
3 more pics of the internal goodies, notice the support brace for video card professionally done! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v244/swtethan/IMGP1857.jpg

the 2nd fan on the smartpower 2.0 has never been turned on since the lower 120mm fan takes care of that, i havent heard a whisper http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v244/swtethan/IMGP1859.jpg

the zalman 7700 copper heatsink is HUGE, even for this case. Its about 2mm away from touching the top 120mm fan http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v244/swtethan/IMGP1860.jpg
 
Thats the case im planning on getting very soon.

About how quiet is it now. SilentPCReview loved it, and said it was probably the best they have tested. Is it audible with all those fans going?

Nice system! It is a very nice case. But i still like my own silverstone temjin case the best. That zalman cooler is huge, i though mine wouldn't fit! if i would have bought the 7700, it would not have since my 7000B is already barely touching the bottom (yes, the bottom).
 
The P180 really doesnt make me want to buy one.

The insides just dont look right although I like the idea of the PSU at the bottom.
 
when the side of the case is on.... all i can hear is the hd working (just a little) thats only if you have the fans on low, but when you have games playing, turn them to medium, still no big deal on sound but to have a very quiet system i recommend zalman as internal parts especially with the 7700 and the dual heatpipe fanless vga cooler (buy the optional fan for higher end cards)


oh and one more thing, im sure you can make it look a lot better than mine, im a wiring noob
 
when i bought my 7700 it wouldnt fit into my old cheap case, so this is what i went with, of course the old case i had to bend the tops of the heatsink fins apart a little to make it fit but this case you dont have to do any of that.
