Re: tinners' Home Server Build

Thanks for the tip, I never tried the PSU the other way round (laziness really !) In hindsight I think the case was a poor choice for what I am using it for but it looks nice

I think the new board should ease the heat and lack of space issues I have currently.

Nice job on the server and you have probally have testing this out but I have the same case as you running a gaming PC. I found that having the PSU sucking air from the inside out was much cooler as the hot air build up inside was my major issue. I also got a real hot spot in the top rear of the case - I fitted one of those cheap slot coolers in the extra slot at the top of the case and it pushes hot air out and really changed the temp. I have the Silverstone cylinder cooler FX121 and while it cools really nicely its really noisey so its sits un-used in my case.

cheers
