Such a brilliant case. Has helped drop temps 5 degrees idle (39-40 degrees) and 10-15 degrees under load depending on application.

Great setup, and new case, I thinking about change on this case too from my Antec 1200, but in some reviews they talking about not best from intake airflow, Are you cut front mesh around fan ?

btw. I see Vileda cloth on the top of case using same cloth too ;) they are great to remove dust.

It certainly is good at removing dust :p I use it to keep my k750 keyboard dust free and gloss fronted monitor!

I have cut the mesh grille yes, to test to see how much extra airflow comes in.

Airflow is good either way though.

do you notice much different temps with this cuteted front mesh, is worth ?

I think I will buy this case and also I will change fans for Coolermasters, but temps I think will be higher on my parts in this case a little bit than in my current Antec 1200.

First of all, that guy with the Corsair case, awesome rig and awesome office! Very impressive, and for everyone else, great setups and really good ideas for design!

Here is mine as of a couple of months ago, I've moved recently but it is very similar. I built this rig for a couple reasons, to "hopefully" play BF3 on high settings, and give my brother my old rig to also play BF3 (likely medium settings on his :D) - My specs are in my not so awesome signature, and I'm soon to add 4 more gigs of the same XMS3 sticks for more BF3 friendliness. I'm also ready to slap another 6950 on dual x16 slots for BF3 if its required but no legit required specs yet so we'll find out soon!

My setup(s) (with my wonderful cheap desk that has a bow in it). I want an L-Desk for all my equipment, but waiting until my wife and I move to a bigger house. Custom rig with 25" HP LED Monitor and a 13" Macbook Pro (Mid-2010).

your mouse looks like a bong :p

btw we have the same desk, but mine has the corner piece, and other section to form a l shape desk.

nice desk, i got the entire thing for $50 from some guy who was desperate to move to a new house :p

lol :D I have the whole set, but I don't really have room in this house to make it an L so the desks are scattered around (my brother also has a set, and I have one of his tables in my room lol). For $50 you got a deal :D

To the dude slightly above this post: nice upgrade :D Those antec cases are boring lol.

Also: An Envy!! OOOH! I wanted one of those and ended up with a Vaio instead. Wish I had bought the Envy lol. HP screwed up on my order bigtime and ended up giving me a big credit, but I couldn't wait any longer after that >>

My new deskspace at newly rebuilt house

As with many setups, it's a shame about the cables. I wish "they'd" invent a good way of hiding them or at least come up with decent cable management in all desks sold.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
