Very nice, the UV gives a sweet look through the window. I like the discrete NB/CPU VRM cooling aswell, doesn't look out of place one bit ;)
Definately given me some inspiration for my Raven.

Its an odd case I had a Xigmatek Porter CN881 northbridge cooler on but it didn't help my temps for some reason. I had white lights but my daughter liked the UV so I left them in.

Nice! But, is your name Sheldon J Plankton by any chance and this is your computer wife?

My wife and my daughter gave my computer that name because I am always using it and they say Plankton reminds them of me.

Thanks and its good to have a laugh once in a while Sponge Bob cracks me up! I will hopefully update my case its kind of hard when new tech is coming out every day. I wanted to watercool it but not sure if I want to upgrade the whole system first. From what I have been seeing looks like the newer CPU's run cooler so who knows.

I remember your setup Athlonite how is your computer running I believe you were having issues a while back. Those are nice LED's but too much light for me I have a XFX 5750 1024 card that I could crossfire with my 5770 but as you can see in my photo my first PCIE slot does not work so no crossfire unless I can get my board repaired or replaced. Been searching around to get a new board or maybe a SSD drive or two still have not decided. I may just go AM3 but I would really like to set up a water-cooling system since it will be my first.

Yeah I was having BSOD probs first with memory which got fixed by upping the NB Volts to 1.4
then there was the dreaded windows update which replaced dxgmm1.sys file which caused an whole other bsod scenario well thats fixed.... Actually with the side on the LEDs aren't to bad and I've finally gone quad core via an AMD Phenom II X4 940BE and had to replace my aging PSU so bought an SilverStone ST75F-P full modular 750W so alls well for now

yup still at 3.4 but I upped the HT/NB to 2200 so it gives a good boost in throughput without extra heat and Volts



I am probably going to try 2400 and see how it goes
