Hey guys I bought a new mATX case the other day and should be here Saturday. It's the fractal design arc mini r2 and hope to fill it with water cooling components
 
Here's my newest build.

My only gripe with this build is the fan on the heatsink... That's an airflow fan. I'd really change that to a static pressure-based fan.. Or is it aesthetics over performance here? XD

You got me...It is in there for aesthetics. The red LEDs look awesome at night. Temps aren't bad at all either so I don't mind much. :D

That's beautiful! :attn:

Thank you sir, your old GPU is rockin' in there! :thup:
 
Figured I'd finally post my updated system... Phone camera, my bad! I have an initial build pic; then slightly modified after I got some super flexible cables to replace the original (PP05-E).

Ok I will bump with a new case next week or so... I ordered a new mATX case that provides a better view of my build.. the Silverstone TJ08E was great, but has a cluttered intake. The GPU section is not funneled very well and although the massive 180mm fan moves tons of air, I think it can be done better.

What case did I pick for mATX build? Any guesses?
 
Excellent guesses.

I will post what I have ordered when it arrives.. I just checked and it hasn't even shipped yet. BOOOooooo... :bang head
 
If memory serves me correctly you didn't want anything to spacious. So the Core X2 is out. Looking forward to seeing what it is.
 
It is on backorder until march 1st. I could have got my money back but I got a nice discount so I'm gonna wait it out. It should be here in the next week or so.
