[QUOTE="Peter2, post: 1099424, member: 24945"] Hi Luca, thank you for stepping in! I guess I will start with 1 intake opening at the front, 1 fan at the back and put the HDD close to the intake with a zalman heatpipe cooler that I already have. Other than that, there is the TV card which gets quite warm. The Cpu is running stock speed and should not be a problem I think, temps are currently 30°C idle and 54°C under 90% load when transcoding. One of the 'challenges' is the PSU, there are 3 possible options: 1) horizontally, but that takes to much space and I wonder what might be the effect on keeping the PSU cool that way 2) vertically as in the picture [ATTACH]155572[/ATTACH] 3) in another compartment but then I might have a problem with cable lengths Another option would be to rotate the mobo 90° ccw so the backside is not blocking the airflow but then it's perpendicular to the TV card. What do you think about putting the TV card without fixing it, just inserting it in the mobo? That way I can leave the whole enclosure part off and airflow is maximal. All suggestions are welcome and thanks for thinking with me. P. [/QUOTE]
