You may be right - 100 billion paper towel rolls would use up every tree on the planet --> massive global warming --> all the rivers dry up --> no more waterfall

This was my thinking, 100 billion is quite a number. Though it does depend on how many plys said papertowel is. I didn't consider that.

But, the water would still exist, evaporation would win, rain would fall rivers full again, vegetation will grow back, billion paper towel rolls turn into compost, footy season would begin, everybody wins

Was the geoff motley race covered on the weekend
 
I'm 26, hardly game anymore, but I still get a massive thrill out of commencing my new PC build :). This case was insanely hard to get a hold of. Picked up one of the last ones in Australia till the next shipment. Also dat lion placemat, majestic as ****. (They were a gift from a grandmother)

Just a thing on that case, I think I wrote earlier in this thread(I know I wrote about it somewhere on the interwebz) about this CoolerMaster case I got, with a massive perspex side window like yours, and a hotspot between bottom mount PSU and graphics card, where heat rises and graphics card sucks up air warmed by PSU and as warm air cannot collect very much heat, heat builds up. A side mount 120mm fan would displace the warm air, but clear perspex window...so for the time being I have side cover off. Just a thing for you to watch, Doc

Yep, pretty sure ours and the Crows' races were the outer limits of the sight screen area.

The story I wrote about last night re the Syrian who had his jaw blown away and crossed over to Israel and the maxillofacial surgeons rebuilt it with a lower jaw bone made using a 3 D printer and titanium powder can be seen in the BBC News website link below. There are two embedded videos, which make up most of the news story I saw last night. Mohammed was in hospital for 3 months and will return to Haifa in in six months, to have new teeth implanted, enabling him to eat solid food. See

and in the story they link to the first ever time this was done in the Netherlands in late 2011.

Just mind blowing stuff. Here are some pictures from elsewhere about how bad his jaw was and the replacement artifical jaw bone

This case will have 3 intake fans at the front, the radiator for the water cooler will be mounted on the top of the case and will be in a push/pull config with one fan pushing and one fan pulling in and the rear fan will be exhaust as well. There should be positive air pressure in the case to limit a) dust and b) hotspots.

The gtx 980 strix cards have a very special cooling configuration - the fans for it don't even turn on unless the card is over 65 degrees. Even then they don't need to spin much, supremely cool and quiet card. Most reviews state many modernish games don't even force it to use it's fans at this point.

The motherboard also has two small mounted fans on the north bridge and near the IO shield located on top of the heat shield that spans the entire mobo.

Not doubting the cooling might of your gear, but it comes to naught if it is trying to cool with warm air...just happened to me and thought I would give the heads up is all...didn't happen when PSU's were top mounted

The PSU will be drawing from the underside of the case, and exhausting straight out the back. Thankfully little to no heat will be circulated in the case at all thanks to the PSU. Part of the reason I bought an overpowered PSU is because it will run alot cooler as it's not 'working as hard' as it could be.
