I had to edit my post above. I couldn't remember what my max temps were exactly, so I erred on the high side. But I just reran P95 for several minutes and I'm only getting into the mid-50's if I keep my fans running at about med speed (6-7v). With the fans cranked wide open and the fan filters removed I shave another 3*C. And this is w/ the case fairly dusty atm. Ambient is 77*F at the thermostat, but it's about 78-79*F in here I think.

Here's a few pics of my temps and my case.

Such an impressive setup! I'm saving up those shots for future reference :D

Hopefully I can do some neat stuff to my Armor MX too! Thanks Jason. :)
