I'm not a big fan of OCing. xD Umm, I guess nothing over $350 AUD?

Chewy · Sep 21, 2006

ok just checking cause some 800 series ati cards are unlockable/good overclockers I guess, at least people know all your gaming details so they will find you a perfect card hopfully.

get an x800 pro w/ vivo and mod it to an xt pe. with the money u save on actually buying the xt pe, buy an artic cooler. i got that in my comp, it plays all the games you listed on max

....if you an nvidia fan, do the same thing with a 6800 GS

Brutalfate · Sep 21, 2006

Sweet, alright. Hey, thanks. xD

Pinchy · Sep 21, 2006

no problems

....just make sure if your getting the x800 that its VIVO, cus u cant mod the non-vivo ones

Brutalfate · Sep 21, 2006

alright, hey, your in Sydney too

Sweet. I live in North Ryde.

Pinchy · Sep 21, 2006

yea im in bossley park, its like 10 mins from fairfield

yeah like everyone else is saying, get some good cable management tools (looms, cable ties,) and get some round IDE cables and try to bunch your cables up to allow for more air flow. also, a new graphics card may not be a bad idea, especially if you have $400. all this cable-management stuff wont cost a fraction of that. i would recommend a radeon x850xt (or pro is cheaper), and get an arctic cooling silencer5

Brutalfate · Sep 24, 2006

Alright.. I've gone off and bought some stuff.. I got a replacement Exhaust an intake fan, as well as a juicy 650Watt PSU, I've upgraded to 2BG's of ram.. I also boguht a chip set cooler and another exhuast fan (mounted under my gfx). I also bought a new CPU cooler but silly me got a 478 socket when i needed a 775 >.>. I bought a new Dvd/rw +cd/rw drive with dual layer capabilities. I've also ordered in a replacement side panel, one with a clear side. xD Im now looking for a new gfx card.

Before:

After:

Brutalfate · Sep 24, 2006

Hmm.. i guess i've still got a bit of cable management to do :S

Chewy · Sep 24, 2006

looking good maybe try hidign that rear fan cable along the top of the case. the new cpu cooler will top it off.

what psu is that?

Pinchy · Sep 24, 2006

yea and if u dnt mind me asking...whered u get the stuff and for how much?

Brutalfate · Sep 24, 2006

Its an Atrix 650T. My friend has had it for a while now, he said he was very very pleased with its performance, and for the price, its a top buy. ^^

Brutalfate · Sep 24, 2006

I got it all from the Computer markets and North Rocks, new Westfield.. All of it all together cost me about $380. (Including the CPU cooler that i need to return)

Brutalfate · Sep 24, 2006

at north rocks*

pt · Sep 24, 2006

Pinchy · Sep 24, 2006

ahhh yes ive been there

u can get some CHEAP stuff there, i got a 80mm LED fan for $2

...now where are u gnna beat that

Brutalfate · Sep 24, 2006

I'll post some pics of the Chipset cooler.. Its located under all them cables

Close up..

pt · Sep 24, 2006

Pinchy · Sep 24, 2006

except if you have a nforce board (wich usually doesn't have a nb) the northbridge is usually hotter than the sb

devinXkillyou · Sep 24, 2006

yeah i was thinking the same thing (nb heatsink is the same!), but it makes sense now. i like the sb cooler though, it looks nice
