Its a shame the 8-Pin CPU connector doesnt seem long enough to be routed behind the motherboard. Other then that, awesome cablemanagement.

How are your temps with that case?

System Specs

A couple of HTPC updates:


I decided that the HSF touching the edge of the DVD-R drive wasn't acceptable. I had an old DVD-ROM lying around and it was 1cm shorter.



Perfect.


Installed a memory card reader:



Took quite a few tries to find the correct placement so that it didn't stick out.




I FUBARed the front bezel when I was removing the old XP badge Damn glue

I looked around for some brushed steel vinyl film but people couldn't even tell what was I talking about. Settled for chrome vinyl for the time being. looks pimp



Maybe I'll order a sheet of brushed steel vinyl online. Anyone knows an affordable store that ships worldwide? I just need a 13"x6" sheet.




Now a question: Badges or no badges? I salvaged the previous "Graphics by ATi" badge and I still have the Pentium badge in the box.

:3 I'll take it off your hands my CNPS9000 isn't doing to well on a 3.8ghz oc.... My idle is about 37 and peak is 52C...






Also, my sister is in town (she goes to uni and is rarely down) we like to game together, and we chose a place to put our stuff... my test area.

Her "computer" more of a piece of crap to me but she likes laptop gaming...



How I have my desktop, excuse the mess/ purple thing, it's all they had. If someone can guess what kind of mints are in that little blue box I will tell what I just got in the mail C:


When I'm at my desk, it looks a ton better and it's cleaner too, that's also where I have my home server and xbox :3

Unfortunately I can't deliver it outside my country,it would be extremely overpriced...
Anyway u won't be impressed by its performance I can assure....thinkin of gettin a V6GT which I had for a couple of tests prior H60 and was very happy...

Not exactly "Your PC ATM" but...



Was an open box so I got it with a nice discount. Only thing missing is one of the 2 buffing discs that should be included. The clerk was very patient while I inspected the 3 units in the bin.

Now I'm ready for some serious case modding.
