Project: Feeding the addiction!!!

I was indeed, Geek Squad CIA Agent!

Can't go into any specifics though, there's the equivalent of an NDA in place.

You should build that HTPC, show me how it's done!

Hoping to build it sometime in the next year and a half when there is a ITX Z68 Gigabyte board and I have the spare funds. Z68 because it's likely going to be my PC for Uni as well as an HTPC so it'll be a powerful but portable PC.

Looking good mate

. I'm sorry about your situation mate.

Those are the stock Silverstone 120mm fans right?

Yep, they're actually pretty good.

I don't think you have to worry too much about the cooling for the video card. The honeycomb grille actually directs the airflow better. It's a cool little design. The 2 intake fans should be enough to carry some air over the top of the video card as well. Worse comes to worse, you could always take out the PCI brackets if it gets too warm in the chasis.

i only see 4 pci slots, which will all be covered with the with gpus.

btw, nice little rig you have there. my suggestion is try with both gpus, see the temps and if they are too high take out the palit, the one 560ti should be enough (even for a little gaming, unless you're going to actually play a lot of games and need them to all be on the highest settings)

as for the extra 560ti, you could sell it (extra cash = good) but in the mean time you should try playing ur favorite games with the one asus card and see if its enough

You may or may not be interested to hear my HTPC is coming together now.

It my as well not exist in comparison to yours but I'm planning to change that over the year.

Waiting for a BeQuiet PSU to come in to stock at Aria before I start a thread, currently you can't see anything but wires.
