New Pc

Thanks Brainiac I appreciate the advice.
The pictures were originally JPEGs, but exceeded my webhost's file size limit, so I made them into .GIFs to lower the file size.

SciManAl...if it was my pics you were refering to, thank you. If not, I'll take credit anyway.
This is the second machine I've put together. The first one was just a learning experience, nothing too special. Then I started adding/removing/reversing/ repositioning fans, just to see the effect on monitored temps. I could get the temps way down at the expense of a mini-tornado in my room, or I could keep it quiet at the expense of the chip.
This project is my first real attempt to achieve both.

I just replaced the HDD on my Dad's old Compaq and was stunned to find that there are no fans at all ( except for the HSF) on that POS. He's had it running 24/7 for years now. Go figure.

hehehe i was refering to the rig, but thats ok
the old computers aren't OCed, and they generate next to nothing in heat.. i have one of those old ones, and they just have a PSU fan and thats it...
they also just cooled it enough not more then enough like me, and you, and most everyone on this board...

Dude if that is what you are doing on your second build then you are coming along very well!! I have built five so far, and the work you did rivals my own comp, that i have been building /upgrading for 4+ years...!! seriosly man i give you my praise.

Nice Rig. It looks really nice too. Not the FASTEST ram or cpu...but i really like it. Better then my pos lol

The Ram is fine for his 333Mhz side bus CPU.

ALthough I dont know why he paid for a 2600 when he could have just gotten a 2500, 400Mhz ram to use the dual channel option that im sure is on that Asus Board, seeing as how you are going to watercool it, and overclock it more.....

Why oh why do people buy xasers.

Sigh, but nice looking case the wire sleeve, while seemingly generic in its idea, always shows its variety in application.

Also, for the lights thing, I have an 80MM Case fan that has 4 LEDS, and a cold Cathode thats about 12 inches long at the bottom of the window of my case.

Its adds a nice effect okay, If he didnt want your case to be flashy, and eye catching, then why the hell would he get an xaser....

Hey, Nice Wiring in there, i dont know if you already know this webpage, so anyways you can find info about making Water Cooling with a Junk Yard Heater Matrix HERE


Does your case have a Side panel window?

If your asking about mine, then yes it does.

Hmmm Nice dude...




Now Does clocker&#39;s case have a side panel window...?

[clocker]

Yes, it does.

It&#39;s difficult to get a case that doesn&#39;t these days.

@John Lennon, do you not like Thermaltake cases? As far as lights go, I have already said that I can appreciate the effect, it&#39;s just not my cup &#39;o tea. When did lights become mandatory?
Faster ram and chip are on the schedule.
The overall structure/layout of the system needs to be in place before the individual upgrades are implemented. I&#39;ll be interested to see the differences.

true. just wat i was trying to say

[clocker]

I am in the process of stripping off the "boy racer" stock Thermaltake geegaws.
The front panel decorations are already gone, the red anodized underpanels are now black and the Thermaltake logo is history.
I bought it because it is all aluminum, the size fit my requirements, it came with the nice 420 watt power supply and seven case fans.

Oh yeah, it was also on sale for &#036;175.
