I also have the bad habit for about 35 years now,

I have to strip my rig and put it under soap and water about 3-4 times a year on sunny days only and air to dry it all out. It work very well only down for 5-6 hours.

I smoke round my PC all the time and mine never gets that filthy

you two need to invest in some fan filters it's much easier to just remove wash dry replace one of those than trying to strip your entire case out to clean every few months

even after having my RV02 for 15 months now none of the fans has tar on them or any sign of yellowing/browning on them at all

This is true and I do have filters on all intake fans, but I have to fulfill my need to build and play with hardware. When you sit at home 95% of the time with a bad back you must keep your sanity

Also there is no one within a 100 miles of me that knows what a hard drive is.

I got a 6950, and it is very nice.

I wonder if the 6870 would have been enough though.

specks · May 22, 2011, 01:31 PM

Dang. How I wish i could make my setup neater. Too bad the cables are too short to be rerouted to the back.

*SIGH*

Here's mine. A prime example of a really messy rig.

Some of the internal organs

Crazy lights

(f*cked up the front looks

)

theJesus · May 22, 2011, 01:37 PM

That's messy? *looks at own rig* hmmm . . .

If cables are too short.. get Cable Extensions..

Frozen CPU

Or

Performance Pcs's

Just the few you need and go at it.. Longer IDE cable as well..

Alright, I'll get the camera out lol. It's a mess right now because I just tossed 4 random fans a controller in wherever they could fit last night

Pictures or it didn't happen

theJesus · May 22, 2011, 06:12 PM

Sorry for the shitty dark pics, but you get the idea. 2 fans in the front, 1 behind the drives, 1 above the drives, 1 under the card, 1 on top of the card, 1 on the card's cooler, 1 on CPU cooler, 1 rear exhaust, 1 on NB cooler, 1 on side panel, and one 1 in PSU. That's 12 fans

It really needs a major overhaul, but I'm not gonna bother because I want to just get a whole new case. And yes, I know the fan controller would have fit in a drive bay, but I was lazy.

sneekypeet · May 22, 2011, 07:50 PM

its a case, but I assume it wont look anything like the cardboard/paper combo you are seeing now

theJesus · May 22, 2011, 07:51 PM

I think the cardboard/paper combo looks great lol. Just cut out all the holes and it'll be perfect

I can't find any extensions here in my place. Hell, i even always had a very hard time looking for some decent computer parts but I have to accept the fact that I belong to the 3rd world.

Dude, I think you're kinda doing the same thing I had in mind.

A case that's split in half. One side for the mobo, one side for PSU, drives, etc..

Although my idea has the mobo inverted from yours to a a center panel that separates the two halves.
