    Cool setup. Just wondering, where did you get that glass desk setup and how much did it cost. It looks excellent.

    PharaohSam What stand do you have your 1330 set on?

    I have a similar setup but am using a Zalman ZM-NC1000 that I had for my Asus G1S-B1. It works but I like how your 1330 is elevated at an angle.

    Am I the only one that noticed yang88she has a pistol on his desk?

    Looks like a Sig with a custom grip? You should probably store it in a safer place... Unless it's airsoft or something like that.

    who manufactures those black fans you have on the carpet near the bottom of the picture?

    They look like EBM PAPST fans from the sticker.
    If they are papst's I congradulate you for understanding what a real fan is.

    Unfortunately I did not pick them out. They came with the W/C parts from my trade. But now I have some use for them after all. :)

    Oh, and I'm gonna clean them too. Man this guy didn't clean his stuff very well.

    Hey thanks.

    I had initially planned on add two 120mm Yate Loons but after seeing the power in these guys, I think I'm gonna stick with them.

    I'll just use the Loons for my intake/exhaust case fans. :)

    Tomorrow I am going to drill a couple of holes in the back of my case for my tubing. Should be interesting.
