More good news, the case or what's left of it is at my local PO 😀 I hope I receive it undamaged without any missing parts. I bet with its size it was probably held up in customs, but if that was the case wouldn't I been informed?

OK, some new plans. If there is the room inside the case I'm likely going to put a 120mm rad in the back, a 360mm rad in the bottom and a 240mm in the top. I know a 240 can fit up top, I done it before with a armor case, and 3 120mm fans will fit in the bottom. But I'm not sure if a 360mm rad and …

No faster cpu will make any 3dfx video card run hotter. Thats all nonsense. The cpu's speed has nothing to do with how hot a video card runs. That has to do with power draw and load, a faster cpu will not magically increase the amount of power any video card can pull nore will it magically make it …

Honestly older asus gaming laptops are not what tgere all cracked up to be in my opinion. Their prone to iver heating and the screens like to fail. Ether fix the screen and keep it or sell it for like 50$ on ebay. But thats just me.
