    @crzykid71 Thanks, It gets really good use, I played the Battlefield 3 Alpha, and it handled very well. Even for an Alpha game which has not been optimized yet, no studdering. frame rate was only like 60+ but that;s with no SLI support. so single card.. I get to play the BF3 Beta in September 2011

    @PCTechTalks , Thanks.. , A lot of fans, lol.. 5 – 120MM front intake fans to be exact + exaust. all cards stay below 70c when maxed at 90-100% I also keep the ambient at an acceptable 69-75c..

    @aawells07 , Thank you. It’s about 3 years old now, still in the same basic configuration, with some minor hardware changes, Now has a 3-Bay HDD hot swap in 2 5.25" drive bays, added a Corsair H-50 last year, also have it in RAID0 x 2 @ 1TB on the JMB363 SATA controler, with a 500GB storage drive. Removed the 3 big drive cages to open it up inside for better airflow. It’s still rockin the games, even Crysis 2, and BC2, I can’t wait to see BF3, I may need to get some DX11 cards for that game

    @RockTouching If you have a top fan then you can angle it any way you want, the back is usually pushed up against the wall and doesn’t have as good airflow as the top exhaust fan.

    @metzgermeisterfuchs , Actually. The radiator is above the PCB, so the PCIe connectors should’nt be a problem, however the fan under that would…
