Disks plus one on the back side for the SSD The front, Right hand 5.25" bay is basicly useless as the TEC unit encased in foam is right behind it. The left Bay cannot be removed because the LCD that displays the temp of the chilled liquid is hot glued to the left side of the bay. |

From the left hand side of the case you see the Main power supply and the video cards...note the massive cooler panel. Offending glue job on the LCD to the lower right prevents you from removing that bay to access the HDD's that are just on the other side of the Power Supply. HDD bay is right behind the lower 2 fans...but you cannot access it from the left side of this picture as there is a ton of wiring and supports in the way |

Well that is all the pictures for now, more later when I have had time to actually use the system a bit I will say it boots so fast my old computer is still doing BIOS and pre-boot stuff. Running Unengine's Heaven DX11 test right now. L8R peeeps. Merry Christmas.

@MagiK, Wow! Your system looks great! It's even better once you show off your temps and benchmarks!
In regards to the LCD temp screen, you could remove the glue (comes of easily) to mount the LCD to a difference place, but we'll work on trying to place it on the drive bays for future builds. Thank you for helping us improve our latest products for our customers.
(P.S. this thread isn't suppose to be in the 'Cofiguration Discussion' area so I'm going to move it to the General Discussion one. After you've posted your benchmarks, etc that you wanted to add, then I'll move it to 'Customer Reviews'). Edited by Alex - 25 Dec 2010 at 1:35pm |

Okie doke, Didnt know where to put it once I figured out I couldnt put it in the reviews Heaven ran at an average of 44FPS with all the menu selections as high as they would go at 2560x1600 with GPU temps up to 55 or so.....more acureate stuff will have to wait for a bit

can't wait for some results!
HDDs can be mounted anywhere there is a fan, so looks like there would be a few other options. I mount mine to the underside of the horizontal mobo tray, better wire management.
am I correct, in saying 9 fans intaking, 2 exhausting??

Would have loved to see more LC tubing visible from the large window panel side... BUT IT LOOKS FREAKIN AWESOME!!!
Unigine seems a little low...I think... Not sure though... will have to check my rigs just to confirm...(currently in Italy so meh >.< ) @Alex, With my rig, say... I decide in a few months to a year that I want that sub-Zero Awesomeness, would it be possible to send it back to DSO for an upgrade? :D |

If your case has room for it, I don't see why you can't send it back

CPUz in mem tab.
furmark with post proc, xtreme mode.
3dmark vantage or 3d 11.
Linx, max mem, with realtemp for temp
with post proc, you will see the waves in the flames like this.

The TEC Power supply is a second unit, in my case it is a Corsair HX1000
You can also have the TEC powered by an external power brick, the TEC unit itself is encased in a 3x3x3 inch block of expanding foam so it takes at least that much free room in the case, and it is on a separate LC loop and reservoir. Keep in mind this is exactly how the system performs out of the box, I havent tweaked or changed anything. Edited by MagiK - 25 Dec 2010 at 3:09pm |

print scrn, or MSI afterburner.
looks very promising, can't wait to see the Linx results, and temps. I can see a few tweaks to improve performance, but just stuff I would do to get the most, the way it is it is powerful.

Do you have a download link for Linx? I found too much crap to wade through at the moment.

Just as a side note, the cores are going below -16'C on IDLE. It's just that the software won't show a lower temp
