update of Black & White. just got new parts and finally took pics to show you guys here. no changes on the case paint but i did add some leds behind the exaust fans to showcase the new mobo and video card. the leds i used are for car stereos and have built in resistors. all i had to do was wire them up to a 12v source and go. i spliced the 4 leds into a 3pin fan connector so i could dim them witht he fan controller.

come on people vote!
 
hey fix that link all i got was a bunch of porn sites
 
pron sites? what link? certianly isnt anything i typed.
 
i clicked on the pics on your second post and three sites came up..lol
 
newmodder you sure its just not a couple sites you hotkeyed or set as your home pages ;)

Very nice case by the way. Put enough LED's in there and you wont even need a lamp in your room :)
 
I think i may have clciked the banner and got some site..but i am not sure
 
yeah those leds i have in there are really nice. they are Optix brand (made by streetglow). they are just a led with the resistor and wires all connected into a small case which makes mounting very easy. i cant wait til i get a half decent case as i dont even have a window. they have a bunch of them at my local meijer (think wallmark/kmart). they also have 3 led strips that can be mounted anywhere and are the very thin diodes. they also have ldes pods, strobes, lots of stuff.
 
Very nice externally, but i do see a lot of exposed cables internally. i recommend getting some cable wrap and really tie them down to one side. but it really doesnt matter because the case is windowless.
 
IIRC the way you have your RAM setup, it's not running dual channel. Switch it to being in the orange slots. The orange slots OC the best. ;)

Click to expand...

Not really. If you have TCCD or TCCC type memory, orange slots are the best. If you have Winbond UTT BH-5 or CH-5, then yellow is the way to go. Also, there are different BIOS's for different type of memory.
 
well there inlies the major problem with sub $20 cases. they are crap. and the problem with $30 psu's is no cables are wrapped. theres like 7 leads off that psu and very long at that.

btw with the ram its not a matched pair. i have no idea what kind of ram it is even. but either way i cant run it at 3/4/4/8 at 200mhx so i have a 5/6divider at 2.5/3/3/7. at that i can oc to 2.6ish.
 
winter boredom is here.



two hours worth of cleaning and about 75 zip ties. what ya think compared to the pics in the first post?
 
more lighting changes...


 
He cant run dual channel because he has a big ass fan covering the firs two slots.
 
Dual channel

Come on people he clearly said the ram was unmatched and you have to have exact matched sticks of ram to dual channel! besides as much as i hate/love to say it kenny probly thinks ur uber n00bs now
 
i got a new case and a bunch of articcooling fans for xmas. so after the switch i redid the lighting and wire management. for my birthday im getting some ballistix tracer ram (512x2). then i will be able to run dual channel and the ram is tested to 250mhz at 2.5-4-4-8. then i should be able to overclock.

velcro the xp-90 is high enough off the motherboard to allow ram with ease. in fact thats one of the reasons to the heatsink design....

i will have new pics up soon once i get the side panel fans hooked up and the uv ccfl's installed along with the ram.
 
hey guys i got my new case and ram. heres some pics
