Saw this on my tom's guide on FB... I kinda want to move Erus into this

That thing looks like it would crash due to vid card temps.

Notice how the case is sealed except where the air gets channeled... so the GPU's are most of the exhaust for the front fan intake... so sneaky

By the way, White, that kitten is so flippin' adorable.

Yeah, and that means the hot air from the radiator is going to go to cool the GPUs. There's also barely any room between the two cards, which means that it's going to be very hard for the top one to suck up air.

The air off that radiator won't be too hot if that is an un OC'ed i5/i7 (even a fast one).

But I will say that I have two cards running in SLI in an mATX right now and they have about the same size gap; I have no heat issues. Many mobos will put dual cards right up against each other... They are designed for it.

I imagine this rig will not OC well, but with an i5/i7 and a high end SLI setup you don't need to OC.

Well, you could probably set the turbo real high and leave the normal frequency stock, and not OC the GPU's...

A retro case? What are you, some kind of hipster?

lol... not remotely. But this thing is stealthy. That's what I like about it, it looks like junk.

Yea, that sure is a sleeper. I like the thin 120x12mm Scythe Kaze-Jyuni Slip Stream fan he has on one side of his radiator. I used two of them when I had my Corsair H70 cooler. They were much more quiet than the shitty fans that came with the stock cooler, and they required much less space.

I also tried using them on some of my other radiators as seen here:

While they were 2000 RPM fans, they just didn't push enough air for my Black Ice GTX Extreme Radiators. I upgraded them to Scythe Gentle Typhoons.
