| Portability is not my concern at all. I think my setup is very safe. (obviously not AS safe as if in a case but insignificantly less safe). I just can't agree on the cooling. Noise, maybe. However, I tend to buy coolers stuff after carefully reading your noise/performace guides Dirtier quicker? Yes. Significantly so? No. ------------ What can I say. I am a bit stubborn in my opinions. |

| not saying you should change, but saying open testbed cools better with same amount of active cooling is wrong yes active CPU and GPU cooling outside a case will be better, but at the cost of higher noise and you need to add fans to cool down other components like chipsets, HDD, etc

Really? You reckon I should add extra coolers over the southbridge, despite it being cooled with heatpipes? I agree about the HDD. Mine sits in a Cooldrive. Last edited by Faiakes : 22nd February 2008 at 18:14. | |

| depends on your CPU cooling really, if it blows down onto the mainboard (XP-120 style) there is no need for extra cooling, if it's a tower cooler (Ultra-120 style) the mobo heatpipe cooling will not get airflow, no cooling

| I do have the Ultra-120. You reckon I should invest in a couple of Antec Spot cool fans? |

| would rather place/install a large <1000rpm 120mm+ fan somewhere, blowing air onto the mainboard, will provide better performance/noise doesn't the Tech Station have fan mounts?

| Make A custom bracket which makes 120mm hover over mobo btw: as you see the station has fan cooling for mainboard and HDD!
