For those interested in the cable management of the phantom 820. Here is my system:
Before cable management, without hardware in it:

yep the new TX 650 is bronze certified.. sadly I got the older only "80 plus" certified version because it was on sale X__XQuote:

@ post above:
How did you mount the H50 in front?? I was hoping to do that in my storm trooper. nice rams and that beefy videocard looks great!
Both TX units are the same, so yours is bronze.
That Be Quiet! PSU should be real good.
I drilled the rivets to the drive bays that were there and used washers and the extra holes in front. Thanks, even though I'm not too fond of the card. I hate triple slot coolers.

Nice! I'm excited to see the NZXT 820 review on Bjorn3d. Hurry up, lol!
Haha, TehYoyo, I'll try to get it done this week. Stay tuned. :P
Ahh I see.. uhhh.. the last time i "modded" my case was a side panel window cut. Was trying to refine it then... made some permanent ugly marks X__X
it was a small one but I hated it.. There is a huge clearance in my case for the radiator. will try to figure out something soon. hehehe. meanwhile I'm planning to mod my gtx 560ti and mount an antec kuhler 620 soon. Will post pictures when it's done :)
You know Artic makes an AIO unit for GPUs now, right? I wanted to mod my H50 on my GTX 465 back in the day. Never got around to it.
Aftermarket GPU coolers here are either hard to find or not available at all. There are no artic products sold here as far as I know even in my country's capital city. Some do acquire one but they were bought outside (probably in the US like newegg).Quote:

There are so many similar mods now, Some did use H50 but it was relatively hard they say since the tubes are relatively stiff and angled 90 degrees. (I use an H50 as well).
Arctic is an Asian company. I'm pretty sure they sell stuff in the Philippines. Do you see any Accelero Xtreme GPU coolers in your websites?
Honestly.. no :(

that's the biggest online PC hardware source I know. the arctic products sold there are from private individuals.. except for the arctic thermal compound LOL.
biggest retailer
http://pcx.com.ph/
none at all LOL.
The only option is to order abroad. My dealer does offer that, I think he buys it at amazon.. but well.. shipping it from there to here makes it really expensive.. then RMA is also a nightmare :(
Wow that's weird.
I guess youll have to wait. Or request your distributor to register and stock up with arctic :-). I thought the phillipines had all the major computing brands
FYI, Goto FROZENCPU.COM and order, they ship international and ive seen many happy people, so it would be good.
Tension and zip-ties.
How much play in the cables do you guys allow? Also, I have used velcro straps in the past over zip-ties. I noticed several of you using zips. Better?
