I call her Scully :wub:

[Mr. Mulder]

Here’s a little project I’ve been working on since Christmas, its taking time because moneys a factor But I’m in no rush I call her Scully



I’ve had the mobo since Christmas (Gigabyte 7N400PRO2) and bought the PSU the other day which is a Silent XPower AOpen, I chose that because of it’s “12 fan and huge exhaust, it’s meant to be incredibly silent – It’s even got a knob at the back for complete control Might try it out later in my current machine

The case is a Cooler Master Cavalier – TO3 – picked it up at PCWorld the other day, would have cost much more with shipping online. It looks so very sexay, there’s two USB and one Firewire just to the left of the front and audio/MIC to the right, the hinge on the door is solid too, can’t see that breaking anytime soon. Very pleased with it indeed My only gripe is that the fan control for the Processor fan isn’t flush with the rest of the front, it’s got to sit in deeper so that the door can close, my knobs too big




The fans a Gigabyte 3D Cooler Pro, All I need is an AMD XP for it to sit on, thinking about going with a 3000 Barton



My only concern is whether or not the cooling and fans contradict themselves? There’s an 80mm at the front which is sucking air in and then there’s the 120mm and the “12 PSU fan sucking air out, but when you add the Cooler Pro into the equation, it’s going to be sending some air into the wrong direction, would it not?

[Mr. Mulder]

I’ve got a 90mm Acoustifan that’s not in use, could I place that somewhere useful, or where ones needed?

Already got some DDR lined up, but any suggestions for a DVD-RW and hard drive are more than welcome

Nice, y not get a AMD 64?

[Mr. Mulder]

Nice, y not get a AMD 64?

Got the board awhile back and the 64 option was a bit too pricey in the long run, And I'm only buying what I need, not the latest stuff - not a big gamer at all really, so it's not needed

(though it would be nice for playing Morrowind, my second home )

Was that the case for £75?

Its very cool.

[Mr. Mulder]

why thank you No they had it for £60.50, didn't see any others like it other than an Akasa and a couple of cheap brands

Nice gear, it's going to perform at least as well as mine, and I have nothing to complain about with my rig so far.

I'm getting a bit bored with the brushed aluminum look myself, my case has that too, though. Was planning on painting mine glossy white or black.

If you care about the looks of it you might want a couple of these.

Coolermaster aluminum drive bezels
They fit most drives and they don't cost very much, fitted one on mine and it looks quite nice.
they also come in black.
