My box stays open 90% of the time too, but then I have to clean the dust out 4x as often :/ --  Thinking of building a DIY 19" rack mount with water cooling to keep the noise down.

Sapphire Trixx also has a nice fan control even if you dont use the OC features.

This is one way you could do it,

its also good to set the effects for performance before you connect

Seems there's some obligatory sandbox time, so...
