Excellent photography also IMO. Although I like the AR-15 shot, the one that I loved the most was the one of the 5.56 and the 460s. Classic! Well done.

I want to do a SLI build with this case too. What CPU Cooler are you using? Looks like it fits perfectly, and I plan to use the NZXT 200mm fan on the side.

I want to do a SLI build with this case too. What CPU Cooler are you using? Looks like it fits perfectly, and I plan to use the NZXT 200mm fan on the side. I'm doing a build for a friend using this case, I would also like to know which CPU cooler that is as he wants to keep the 200mm NZXT fan on the side as well. I wanted to use a Megahalems, but that beast is 20mm too big :P I know the max height of the CPU heatsink if you want to fit the 200mm NZXT fan as well is 140mm. But yeah, that one you have in that image looks ideal! It looks like a Corsair of some kind... the A70 dual fan perhaps? post edited by RealityRush - 2010/08/26 08:46:27 #18

How much space is beteen your 120mm side panel fans there and the top of your Xigamatech cooler (the top of the heat pipes :P)?

Eh, if it don't fit, I'll figure out how to make it fit :P There'll be an extra couple mm from the actual fan blades to the front of the actual fan, so should fit, if barely lol. But if you're wondering 5-6 mm, just picture half a centimeter :P Not sure if that helps but hey, it was worth a try. post edited by RealityRush - 2010/08/27 18:43:36 #24

Everything about the Vulcan was perfect, right up until that dang fan controller >.< And I wanted to put the front 120mm and side 200mm on one channel, so much for that! #29

But the sidepanel has room for 4 120mm fans too. You have to find a way to mount them, and it may be louder, but you could get more airflow for those 8 watts than the 200mm if you play it right.
