I'm not gonna go dual-CPU anytime soon. What I currently have is overkill enough. lol.

The ATCS 840 is an awesome case, though. Roomy, very well built for a WC setup and has a TON of fans.

System Specs

Currently testing a new low budget system to upgrade my sister's Athlon 64 3800+ with 1GB RAM. Looking good so far:

Pentium E6300 @ 3.5GHz (334x10.5) on stock volts
Scythe Shuriken Rev.B
Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L
4GB OCZ 1066MHz DDR2
XFX ATI 5450 512MB Passive Cooler

It's running 50C on full load idles around 35C and is practically inaudible. But more importantly for my sister it plays BluRay without stutters and Firefox, Microsoft Word... open quickly. Draws just under 90W total too.

More can be seen here.
I had that case for my last build, and I really liked it. The airflow & cable management were quite good, there was a decent amount of interior space, but it wasn't big or expensive. I actually paid $75 for mine, so $40 is a great deal. I didn't think the right-side fan had much effect, but it was loud, so I just didn't use one.

@dafour nice case you have there Needs some WM but so does mine lol


I am going to be changing the rad soon so i'm not worried about wires all that much right now. I will take care of them when i have my loop out. Also i had to add some foam strips between the rad and the case to make a better seal so all the air has to pass through the rad and reduced vibration so its quieter

It's working pretty well for me.

But then again, so is this new toy that showed up.







My under load temps dropped about 5*C, and I'm pretty sure it's only that small of a amount due to room temp.

A CRT, it hurts! No really, I haven't been on one of these jokers in years and my eyes are killing me after only 30 minutes. It's a 16" ESA, I got it at the Goodwill for $6. Figured it couldn't hurt to have an extra one to hook up to a little Presario I've got. Just testing it out on my rig for a bit.

Here is my PC atm.









I modded 2 holes on the side panel for 2 120mm fans














I'm going to upgrade to a 5850 soon when the prices drop and I'll also buy a T260HD 26'' monitor.

As for the cpu cooler, I really don't need a better one, because the temps don't get higher then 50°C under load.

You say that, but yet you have a ram cooler, I bet your ram was not even warm to touch

Just teasing of course, but in all seriousness what's with the ram cooler?

I bought used ram for half a price of a new one and the cooler was with it. If I would buy a new ram, I wouldn't buy those with the cooler. Anyway its better then nothing. But yeah, I should mentioned that in the first place.

You don't have a rear case exhaust fan? That surely hurts your temps a lot.

I did, but it was a 90ishmm that was too loud, and it doesn't hurt my temps at all. The two 120mm top fans do all the work. I have another 3 more 120mms on order, as well as a 140mm.

Well, after CP brought up the no rear exhaust fan thing, I started getting bothered by it, and I raided my parts bin for a fan that wasn't loud. Found a Evercool 80mm. Tossed it in.



Also, I think this is about as much cable management as I'll do until I get my new Mobo, PSU, Graphics card, and hard drives...

Don't know how much a 80mm moves, but a 120mm will def. keep the VRM's cooler and the entire case cooler, guaranteed!

Like I said, I have a 120mm on order for that spot, I also will be replacing my case side and the bottom 120mm with a 140mm fan.

Here's my order from CM's website that I'll be making this week.

Man, the side panel for yours is cheap. I had to pay $40 after shipping for mine and it doesn't even have a fan spot
