    So i finally built my new machine.

    Radeon Sapphire HD7970
    I7 k3770
    16GB ram DDR3 1600MHz
    128 SSD drive - samsung 840 pro
    2TB drive + old 1TB drive
    Asus Maximus V Formula motherboard
    Coolermaster Silencio 650 chassis

    I've built the machine on monday, installed all soft on next day, and started cleaning my old one for my father.. then yesterday i've finished installing stuff on older one.

    inside the chassis - i've moved the cable running above the video card to the back of the chassis so it looks more clean.

    PC placed under the desk - i've spent 2h fighting with cables to make it look like this..

    You should move as many cables as possible to the cable space in the back. Not only it makes the inside look cleaner, but it also helps wirh the airflow. I put also my HDs with the cables facing the other way.

    I don't know if your case is similar to mine in the way that you could remove completely that upper HD cage, only leaving the smaller, lower one in place. Since you don't have too many HDs in, if that's a possibility, you should go for it. I did that, and I bet it helps the airflow immensely.

    Very cool machine judging by the components in any case. It ought to serve you long.
