[url=http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a220/defraguk/100_3200.jpg]Whole setup - (tv wires to be hidden next week!!!!)[/url] [url=http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a220/defraguk/100_3202.jpg]Front with Amp[/url] [url=http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a220/defraguk/100_3205.jpg]Front with fan controller[/url] [url=http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a220/defraguk/100_3206.jpg]Side showing 120mm fan mod[/url] [url=http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a220/defraguk/100_3208.jpg]Inside - Still need to clean up those wires!!![/url] Mods: First up this case got hot!! I was getting internal temps of 30-35c never mind what the cpu was getting. Naturally the fanless graphics card didn't help, so out came the hole saw and in went a 120mm fan on the left side of the case. The graphics card is full length and I had to remove the hard drive cage - fortunatly the Enermax fan controller could mount a hd - so that problem was solved. I did have an Imon RSC to start with which was a real pain to work with MP, so found someone selling the Imon Pad on ebay - so got that and after a bit of messing around (the IR is incompatable between the RSC and PAD) I swopped over the circuit boards of the original and new imon receivers and hey-presto it all worked!!! Setup: Video output to LCD TV (Hitachi 32LD7200) via DVI @ 1360x768 (powerstrip!!!) TV in via svideo from Sky+ (i only record to back up on the pc) Sound into my Morantz amp via spdif - awesome!!!!
