yea, nothing special, never seen that case before tho

 

[Garb3]

yeah i know that its nothing special but i just wanted to post it on here

Do you have a 120mm fan at the front? Put a filter move the stock rear fan to the front and put a Antec 120mm fan at the rear. Put a Antec/Coolermaster quiet 80mm fan on the cpu side panel. Then watch the temp difference.

I have the same case that I got for $20 after MIR at compusa. The case is heavy and sturdy.

I used this for a Athlon XP 2400 mobile overclocked to 2400Mhz. That one runs hot load temp was 60C in summer.

I used to run 4 hdds, 2 burners, HIS 1600 pro, Sound card, Firewire card.

i have acctually got an antec 120mm fan on the way cause the front fan is from an old psu lol. and i cant get a fan above the cpu cause the zalman is soooo tall off the mobo lol

I like the simplicity of it, but you could do a little more cable managment

 

[Garb3]

yeah i now the cables need work still but just soooooo useless at doing it lol

Wiring could be better, but hell, its better then mine, thats why I didnt take pictures and post my build ::Shame::

 

[Fox34]

Wiring can be easy, drag molexs that power like fans and stuff that dont need to be in the case onto the back panel and either tape or hotglue them down so u can get the panel on, easy and looks great

hi again guy i've just got a water cooling kit and am planning sorting out my cables but mt watercooling kit comes with uv reactive anticerosive(probly not spelt right lol) fluid and was just wondering if u guy had any suggestion as to what colour would go with red tubing.
i was thing of blue leads round the tubing a red uv light shing in the res and the rest bed led fans??? any suggestion.

pic will be updated in about a week once all suggestion are taken and water cooling is tested
thak for your input

 

[Garb3]

part 1 of update complete. just have to get fans and uv stuff now

 

[Fox34]

Theres awesome tubes from Xoxide that have neon lights around the tubes, get them in UV, so they make your UV coolant bright as a fog light

 

[Garb3]

thanks for the suggestion

 

[Fox34]

Yea, have you been to Xoxide? Great place, be sure your liquid is UV for that great look. Even some UV paint to match it would be awesome, and don't forget about that thanks button =D

 

[Garb3]

all done now i probs could have done with some bigger uv lights but hey.
