Awesome!! Only two things I don't like are the beige disk drive and the fact that the fan in your side panel isn't serving much of a purpose. It'd be better for the GPU or CPU. However if you just moved the hard drive up a slot or two it could cool that. Otherwise very nice PC. Good job on the wiring too.

Thanks wtf8269. That's the only CD Drive I had. The case came with some cheap Black CD Drive doors, but they were more trouble than they were worth.

I recently moved the side fan and for some reason it has really helped my case temp. It stays at 77° F where as it was around 85-88° F. Again, I appreciate your comments and thanks for checking it out man.

BTW, I checked your system out too via the "Pics" link under your sig. Very Nice!

Besides that CD Drive, everything is pretty much a beast in that thing. Damn!! 9/10!! (It would be a 10 if the CD Drive was black.)

Yeah, there are people voting low on all comps, but eh...they have Dell's, so I kinda feel sorry for them.

What's wrong with a Pentium D 805? It's a good budget processor that beats the Pentium EE if overclocked to 3.8-4.0GHz.

You're exactly right Azn Tr14dZ. That's why I saved myself $700-$900 by overclocking this D 805 and have it outperform several of the higher end chips. This is a very good setup. Incase anyone is interested in this processor here's an article that may assist you in deciding on it: http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/05/10/dual_41_ghz_cores/

Hey Clocked, this D 805 chip over-clocked easily outperformed many of the high end Intel and AMD chips. What SIMP has here is an awesome PC. 10/10!!

I find it funny that you have a 7800GTX but only 80 gigs of hard drive space. Unless that 80 gigs is really 78.5 and you have a raptor, then why only one raptor.

cHillen, I do have an external USB 120 GB HDD that I use to store pictures, music, CD images and other data. I use my internal 80 GB for Windows and Applications.

Just give all them LED fans a week or 2, they will soon loose their brightness. Very little case illumination is actually worth its money. Stuff like cathodes are safe tho, they always maintain their brightness.
