Just replaced my pair of CF R7 370's with an R9 390X after many many years of sitting stagnant. This is my photo editing and light gaming rig, it serves it's purpose very very well!

What's the little black box on the monitor stand ?

R3 is really very similar to the R5 - Had to look twice. Do you run it with the side panel off all the time or was it just for pics ?

I find with the R5 side panel off, all the noise deadening is for nought.

I think it looks like a western digital passport.

SPS got it, it's a WD Passport.

I always run with the panels on and all buttoned up. Just off for pix.

Bingo!

I underwent replacing my Thermaltake Silver Arrow with a Corsair H110i GT setup + 2 x Noctua fans. Talk about a tight fit, took forever to get the radiator in place and had to slightly widen all of the mounting holes. Also had to install fans on the outside of the case as there's not enough room inside for the fan. Load temps are much better, idle temps are the same. So far I am liking the watercooling upgrade.

Also replaced my old and probably tired PCP&C Silencer 750 with a Seasonic Platinum 760, the modular cabling system really helped get rid of a bunch of junky cabling behind the mobo tray.

w00t!
