DEATH-TRAP

What do u guys think about my pc?:-)

its ok...careful with double posting and welcome to TPU!

Thanks 4 being honest! and this is a really nice site! im getting a new cpu fan and neons

kewl ... try a little wire management and it will be even prettier.

Jap im doing my wireing tomorrow! may i ask what did u mean by saying (careful with double posting)?

Welcome to TPU! Nice colors, never thought of combining blue with anything else. I would second the cable management (it's tedious), but we all gotta do it sometime.

Double posting is when you post consecutively, you can read all the guidelines here.

Thanks man! lol i dnt understand so i may not comment on my own pics? im ganna do the wireing tomorrow an see how it goes if its ugly just ganna remove it then

ya sorry for the confusion...you should of just edited your picture post to include what you stated in the very next post is all...otherwise wait till someone else makes a post.. or wait the time period.Not sure why tho, maybe to keep people from trying to get high post counts for no good reason...dunno really.

you can definitely comment on your pics, but within the same post. Well, at least that's the way I intend to not get into trouble with the moderators :)

Thanks guys so i can comment:-) Hope they dont block me or anything:-D I'll add some more pics when i get my cpu cooler and noens and do my wireing

kewl looking forward to them pics.

Thanks man glad to knw there r nice ppl in the world

i gotta agree with the others dude, hide them cables. it is tedious and depending on your case, mobo, gpu, dvd-rom (sata or ide) and hd(s), it will require alot of planning. Don't be suprised when you make a bunch of changes after you finish! nice mod, and post a few more pics when you get the case cleaned up, i wanna see how it looks then.

Thanks ganna take new pics tomorrow did my cables today! happy new year every1

Added new pics hope u GUYS like:-)

that things a death trap. Welcome

fantastic this case congratulations and welcome to the forum

Thanks guys 4 the comments:-) and to Hunt3r thanks man

I like the changes, very unique; especially the 2 80mm's over the dvd. :-) Did that 120 underneath the gpu help drop temps? i have a sli set up and the bottom one gets pretty toasty due to the lack of clearance for air flow. i'm thinking of adding a 120mm hole & fan on the bottom of my case and adding bigger case feet to allow more flow to it. again, nice revisions dude.

Nice blend of colors. I like "normal" pcs like that! Next step would be to try and do some management with your cables ;)

Thanks man!!! its taken me about a week to decide if i must put the fans above my dvd-rom
the 120mm fan under my gpu dropped my temps about 7'C If u can get say a 120mm with gud airflow u will drop the temps IMO just with the 120mm on the bottem of my gpu make sure u make say a 3-5cm space between the fan and the bottem of ur case i noticed that if u dnt have space there is no airflow:-) let me knw if this worrks 4 u:-)

Im adding to 2 more 80mm green fans to improve my airflow

I voted 1/10 because:

What's the point of your overclock? 2.5 to 2.7 is what noobs do with overclocking software. Your build is pretty weak with ddr 800 and a single 4k series card.

The point being why include such a skim overclock? 200Mhz isn't anything of a performance increase.

what u mean

i'm giving you a 1/10

its a budget PC with a tiny overclock, that looks likes a christmas tree was stuffed into the case and held together with duct tape.

Its also got zero cable management - wrapping your wires in electrical tape is also ugly and a bad idea, as the glue will melt and cause you all sorts of problems later.

I decided to come and see how awesome your system was, since you seem to vote every other case out there a 1/10 - and honestly, your PC is crap in comparison to many you've voted down.

I voted 1/10 because:

Being one of my first votes, my initial 6/10 seemed way too high after seeing other mods that more than thoroughly deserve a 10. I have now seen enough case mods as to have a solid idea as to what principles I shall guide future scores by.

Lack of cable management, duct tape used in a way that can't even be described as ghetto modding and use of sub 120mm fans on an ATX case coupled with an insignificant overclock can no longer warrant a 6/10. I shall endeavour to stick with my principles hereforth to ensure inpartial and correct scoring.

i was being a dick, since you were being a dick rating other PC's 1/10.

At least you can take what you give, you earned some respect back there.

i did a search for all posts you ever made, you gave several. Most recent, was the guy who made the companion cube case.

BTW, hit the "quote" button - it makes more sense than slapping my text in the middle of your post

Ok man i understand ur point i was a dick ey! il withdraw my vote and give a proper vote! thanks agian:-)

If you are looking for a mid tower, I would most definitely go for the CoolerMaster HAF 922. It’s the biggest/small case I've seen yet. It has so much space inside you can work very easily putting your stuff in there just like the larger HAF 932 and yet it's smaller in height.

If you haven't purchased the PSU yet, there is a really good guide on this forum that should help you get a good quality one. Last thing you want is for it to crap out on you.

He wasn't exactly asking about his overclocking ability or his build. He was asking about his mod. Such posts make you sound like an asshole, your use of the word "noob" reinforces it.

Sorry to go all "hero of the internet" but baseless and un-constructive criticism makes me mad. Saying things like the above will drive new people away/stop people from posting mods in our (what are supposed to be) very friendly forums!

Ontopic, I like the mod, it looks like a rave party!

No cable managment system as such, but all sleaved in blue, it really is a good psu for half the price of other named brands.

comes with good warrenty, thats why i took the risk and purchesed, check my specs it runs all my hardware easiley

I would say that the 600watt would be even better than mine as mines only a 550watt

Darn, its that much expensive? It's a great price here in Canada and the USA. Perhaps you can wait a little longer to gather some more cash for the HAF 922 or wait for a sale. Reason I am asking is because this case could be the case you will ever need in a long time.

I voted 6/10 because:

I dont like to vote 1 on any mod.

just so this is clear:

You can lead a horse to water but cannot force it to drink.

Calibre has posted in the case gallery many times, most notably his rating of the Companion Cube of a 1/10 "Because its ugly".

I critiqued his addition of using an overclock, yet he has yet to make 1 single post outside of the Case Gallery section. Perhaps he should make an effort to learn how to overclock. :rolleyes:

Thats one of the saddest things Ive ever read on TPU (and Ive been here a while!)

You dont just vote 10 so you can get a 10 back on your own case.....thats pathetic.

If somethings a turd, call it a turd, if its great, reflect it in your vote.

Honesty is the best policy.
