Motherboard Asus Crosshair
Cooling 4-120mm, 2-80mm fans, CPU-Blue Orb 2
Memory OCZ 2GB DDR2 800Mhz
Video Card(s) Ati 1900XTX, OC to 688/792

Power Supply Thermaltake TWV 500W
Software Windows XP
To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600 2.4Ghz, OC to 2.6Ghz
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair
Cooling: 4-120mm, 2-80mm fans, CPU-Blue Orb 2
Memory: OCZ 2GB DDR2 800Mhz
Video Card: Ati 1900XTX, OC to 688/792
Harddisk: Western digital 150Gb 10,000rpm
CD/DVD Drive: ho knows (it works)
CRT/LCD Model: 19" Samsung SyncMaster 940bf
Case: Thermaltake Armor
Sound Card: Original Audigy
PSU: Thermaltake TWV 500W
Software: Windows XP

Mods:
2-120mm fans were added to the front blowing air in the case.
On the back of the case a 120mm, and 80mm hole were cut, so the 2 back fans can take the hot air out of the case more easily.
Material used to go in front of the fan so I don't chop up my fingers is basic plastic gutter guard bought at home depot for $3.

ATI 1900XTX mods:
OC to 688/792
Temp before mods at same OC were:
Idle: 52C with fan @ 40%
load: 72C with fan at 100%
Voltage regulator:
Idle: 49C
Load: 67C

After the mods as in the pics, same OC:
Idle: 44C with fan @ 40%
load: 66C with fan at 100%
Voltage regulator:
Idle: 44C
Load: 60C
For something that didn't cost anything, it worked very well, I was very impressed by the results.

Gutter guard is hooked on with staples.

Yes there is 2 holes in behind the motherboard about 2*2 inches big, that's the only way I could get rid of all the wires.

Finally someone got wire management right. Beautiful rig, Excellent job. Home depo also sells perferated metal screening in several patterns for covering heating vents, etc. Brass, copper, aluminum, and steel available, can also be painted.

I've been thinking of a new CPU cooler, however that Cooler is doing it's job cooling the CPU that I haven't bothered with it.
CPU is OC to 2.6Ghz, not a lot but....
Idle temp 29-30C
Load: 48C

Thanks a lot everyone for the compliments.

Nice one bruvva!!!! I bit to blue for me but hey, looks sick anyways...

9/10

PS. Love the vcard mod!!! You should probably just cut the whole plastic cover off the heatsink though and mount a 120mm on it... the air from the original fan is probably pushing against the air from the mounted fan. It could be reducing the cooling slightly... ;)

That is by far, the best wiring job I have ever seen. Not even VooDoo PC approaches this level of neatness. Simply amazing. I think the only thing you could do to make it better are to get a new cpu cooler, and perhaps getting your video cooler mod to look neater (fiberglass, perhaps?) 9/10 from me.

Wowzers! lol 10/10.

The card mod is a great highlight let alone the rest of the awsome set-up.. really makes me want to cut some holes in my case lol but I need longer sata cables.

You gave me courage to have my 1900gt bios oc'ed to highspeed :) The longer I wait for dx10 the better I think since its new. 660/780 here I come :D
