- or - "How to make money disappear"


My first concern, of course, was "Is this monster going to fit in my case?".

The size of the Swiftech was a little daunting, and I wasn't sure if there would be clearance for it to fit with the way the power supply was mounted.
She's a beauty!
Looking down from the top of the in-Win case, you can see the setup. While there was plenty of room for the old cooling fan, I didn't hold much hope that the new one was going to fit.

Can you say "no damn way"? I knew you could! I like the way you say that!.

The Swiftech MCX426 was about 1/2 an inch taller than the space allowed by my old case.
This isn't going to work
So, after a quick jaunt over to Best Buy, I picked up the Antec SX830 workstation case.
Time to supersize
Looking inside of the Antec, you can see why I chose it.

Since it was just a bit taller than my old in-Win, the power supply was located higher up, leaving more room for the components.

The dual 80mm fans in the back (that vent out right next to the processor) should help keep things nice and cool.
dual cooling fans in the back make me happy
