Hello guys, This log will be very quick as it is practically now completed and being leak tested. I was given this case and fans by Nanoxia, primarily to write a review, but they also wanted to see what could be done with a DS2 as they were convinced that only a slim 240mm rad could be...

Hey guys, back with another build. Although i still have to finish Coolsair, i was approached by Nanoxia to do a watercooled build in a Deep Silence 1, i thought this would be the perfect opportunity to upgrade by parents pc for them, my dad is a bit of an RTS nut and his pc is somewhat lacking...

Hi guys, in my build recently you may have seen that im planning to use 670's for it. However, Since i found out i won the Scan competition on Hexus, and one of the prizes included is a XFX 7970, was wondering, for gaming 3 screens at 1080, which will be better in the long run, 2x 670 or 2x...
