The Red Scout

Key features

AMD CPU NVIDIA Graphics Scratch Build

The build

OK, here I go, I used to have a P182 with some stuff that didn't really go with the theme I wanted to display (if there is any) such as green and blue cathodes, along with a monster logo and red leds on my CPU cooler.Anyway, I got myself a new enclosure (case) which is the Cooler Master Storm Scout, mostly because I carry my computer very often for LANs. However, this time I decided to have an all red theme going on. Rig is still under construction so any tips are welcome!!!

Pics are too dark to see that well, except for the last two.

odameyerMM that's a nice setup, i'd replace that 5200+ it's a pretty huge bottleneck. I like your cable management, I have those same cathodes :3
i know man, I don't know whether I should stay with AMD and get a phenomII X4 955 @ 3.2, also upgrading to AMDs Crosshair III formula, or go wih Intel, get the 920 @ 2.66 and switch motherboard, ram, and cpu at once.

what would you recommend. either way I have to upgrade 3 things.lol
