My last case was a Phantom and I got sick of dragging it to LANs every other week. Full tower is a little too "real" for a case that travels. Your comment reminds me of Harley guys asking me when I'm going to buy a "real" bike.
Windstorm/Tornado took care of that rig anyway. Pretty happy with the itx box, never dropped below 60fps on any of my games, but I'd be lying if said I don't go to Newegg and hover my mouse over the 'buy' button on a 690 a little too often.
I'm currently using 4x Cougar Vortex fans on my H100 and holding about 52C on low speed. How fast are you running those deltas and do you have to wear earplugs_
That wasn't a very recent pic btw.. the wheels broke on it because it got too heavy!
Delta's are about 1500RPM... But still quite loud.. But at 100% - if my case didnt weigh so much, i think it would fly! Keeps my 3960x (4.8Ghz) @ 28-30C Idle and 50C running intel burn test.
What's even louder is the unlocked 680 fans at 100%... would H20 cool.. but i'm a wuss.
Why a 690_ You would get much better OC and performance out of 680's... (nice clock on that 670 BTW)
Might i recommend this particular 680 -

You'll notice base clock is 1202 and boost clock is 1267 (although some owners of the card report boost @ over 1300!)
The only thing that scares me is BRAND.. Galaxy_ If it was an ASUS or EVGA---take my money!
