Well, I need to tidy up my cables too. Going to do that this weekend.

I assume the fans for your top radiator are on the top of the case pulling out?

Just don't see them in these pics.

Thanks.

Is the tempest evo a full sized case or is it a large mATX? It look's much larger than my lexa s.

Oh quick question, the led's on the fans on front panels are all 3mm right? Im gonna swap over to a red color scheme i think ;)

Anyways heres some pics with my 1366 build now :D

NICE bro, your tempest looks sweet.:toast: I'm glad all the rads fit! what are temps like in the new case...any improvements?

Is the tempest evo a full sized case or is it a large mATX? It look's much larger than my lexa s.

Oh quick question, the led's on the fans on front panels are all 3mm right? Im gonna swap over to a red color scheme i think ;)

No the Tempest is a larger mid-tower ATX case, the Lexa S is a regular sized mid-tower case. I know that the Tempest front bezel led's are all 3mm, I dont know about the Lexa S though. When I modded the Apollo case it had 5mm leds on the front.

The fan led's should be 5mm, if your going to buy replacements make sure you get the true color (clear capsule, not color shaded) ones, they are much brighter and look a lot better.:)

Just an FYI to you NZXT guys, the NZXT Alpha is going on sale on newegg for $34.99 after $15 MIR, with free shipping. But only from 10AM- 12:59PM PT.

NZXT Alpha Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case...

Nice!! This was my first choice when I wanted to build a gaming pc a few years ago. Back when I knew very little about computers, at the time this case was $80 and the Tempest was $110. For thirty bucks more I had to go with the larger case and I am glad I did.:D

Thanks Rad_Ed for looking out.:)

Just got light room today and played around with it a little bit. Managed to get the old camera from my parents. It's a Cannon Powershot A4000 from about 2004 :laugh: It's like 3.2mp but honestly it has more adjustments and i think they look just as good or if not better than my droid x. I can still use my rents new digital camera which is a lot nicer. Im pretty happy with this though :)

Adobe lightroom 3.3 is pretty nice but dang is it confusing if you've never used something like it.




I'll setup a little photo booth thingy here and take some real nice pic's of my case soon :D
