Hey, Katana, very nice, I am always impressed when I see case cableing like that, awesomely clean.

A quick question if I may. On your bottom mounted psus, do you think it is better (obviously in terms of heat) to mount with the fan towards the bottom grill or with the fan towards the inside?
Serious question, I tried both and just from touching the psu housing I feel fan to the inside is better.

Good question, the PSU's in both my cases are designed with an extraction hole below the PSU so that the PSU can exhaust hot air out of the case rather than into it ... I also added caster wheels to each corner of my cases to swing them out as I'm constantly tinkering with them, thus the case bottom is a good inch or so above the floor ... but for major overhauls and rebuilds they go to a table in my kitchen ... they are actually quite heavy.

Since my pics I've also moved my second GTX 570 down to the bottom of the case as the top one was overheating a bit when the going got though, My Z68 (the proper chipset for Sandy Bridge IMHO) Gigabyte board allows two graphic cards to utilise the full bandwidth of PCI-E but unfortunately this meant sandwiching the cards together to use both 16 lane PCI-E slots ... I'm now on 8 lane PCI-E express slots for each card and better space between them and as apparently (currently) only two GTX 590's in SLI can totally saturate the bandwidth of two x 16 lane slots ... I'm not losing anything and my tests confirm this ... I could go GPU water cooling too but that's getting into silly money area ... and GPU's tend to have a shorter life span for upgrade folk like me and the water blocks can rarely be moved on to the next card.

PS: my wiring aint so tidy ... I've seen much better, the Corsair HX1000w is a fantasticaly stable PSU, but its awkward modular cables don't lend to neatness ... here is a pic of my cable routing on my I7 920 rig you dont see

Ok, now I must admit I am a little confused, sorry.

When I look at my psu fan it is an intake fan by default, so did you alter your psus in any way, like take the fan out and turn it upside down so it acts as an exhaust, in which case the back perforated side of the psu would be taking air in?

Btw, my case is similar to your second case picture (Cooler master haf 922), for your first case picture with the dividing plate just above the psu it would obviously make no sense to mount the psu with the fan towards the inside.

Now you mention it ... I'm not sure if the PSU fan top (bottom?) exhausts or extracts? ... for sure it has a fan that exhausts out of the back of the case so I reckon you are right ... it intakes cold air from a hole in the bottom of the case and exhausts it out of the back ... no hot air exhausting into the case in my example and I guess this is why my Corsair Obsidian 700 case is designed this way ... its supposed to be for dedicated PSU area's, water pump area's ETC .. mostly a lot of guff I reckon?, but the bottom line is my internal case temps are lower on the I7 2600K rig than the I7 920 rig and the PSU certainly does not overheat.

Cheers.

If you ditch that sig can i put a bid in for the marshall stack that goes to 11.
Or pehaps you would be interested in a straight swap.
I have an outragously overclocked Amiga64 supercooled with liqnitro that has been clocked @ 12.7 ghz, i have tried running it Sli style with another but had technical issues, are you interested in this piece of kit ?

There is actually a limited edition of Spinal Tap on Blu Ray that comes with a little practice amp that you can plug a guitar into or use as an Ipod speaker that indeed goes up to 11 ... I cant find it but I'm pretty sure Marshall made an amp with decals that go up to 11 too.
