Sorta on topic.

Based upon one of your photos and the pasteyness of your hand, I know envision you as looking like Powder.

Maybe a grotesque mashup of Powder and Skeletor.

Hehe, you're not alone...

I think the only way you could prove that you aren't frail and pastey is to post some pictures of your sister. Right Now!

Did you order any extra fan cables? They are nice to have around. I have bought enough fan controllers, and such, over the years that I have a smaller tool box that is a tangled snakey mess of 2, 3, 4, & molex wires. If I don't have one I can almost always build one. Also, didn't you order some sleeving, as well? I can't remember.

yeah I only ordered one just for this one fan I have left. and I have sleeving from a while ago. TO MUCH!

MxPhenom 216 · Jul 6, 2012

well that was a fail. Tried sleeving the cable i got and my sleeving is way to tight and fucked up the cable so had to order another one! UGH!

MxPhenom 216 · Jul 10, 2012

Just got my new fan cable. Going to put the 2nd fan in for push pull right now.

Part 1 of my Summer Upgrade is done!

Part 1 of my summer upgrade is done. Here is the finished product. Next upgrade will be monitor and higher capacity SATA III SSD

And my overall setup. Don't mind the pooh bear paintings. My mom use to be an artist and painted those when I was really young

MT Alex · Jul 10, 2012

Those paintings are super sweet. You got Owl, too?

It would be nice if Corsair made it so the colored rings could go on either side of the fan, so in a push/pull the rings could both be on the outside.

Ya know man when we had that talk the other night on TS I was trying to help ya out. Give ya some pointers on bar room etiquette so you could hang with the drunks in TS. Then you go and post pictures of your room with Winnie the Poo characters painted on your bedroom walls? Dude you better PRAY Brandon, Erocker, Reayth or even Cadaveca don't get stoned/drunk and remember those pictures. No amount of high score in BF3 or taken dog tags is gonna balance this out. :eek:

Anyway Ill be on tomorrow night. Just spent the night rebuilding my wife's friend computer........again. Torrents are the devil. I told my wifes friend "I just fixed your computer again. Do you want me to down load a bunch of viruses for you? Save some time?" :laugh:

Its not my room. Its a big room that just has my TV, computer, couch and shit in. It used to be where me and my sisters would play when we were really young. We are painting over them soon, because we are selling the house. My parents are moving to Wanatchee and im going to a university.

No, I don't ever remember my sisters play Barbies. LMAO

Nordic · Jul 10, 2012

I basically have the same fan setup. Except I have a bottom fan. I really like positive pressure in my cases just to try and keep dust out.

Irony · Jul 10, 2012

Your walls make me want to cry. I started to hate pooh and all his chronies after watching about 10,000 hours of it when i was little. Now I cant stand to even see it lol.

Your Computer's getting to be pretty awesome though lol. Love the fans.

Put it in the bank man! Take 100 to 150 a WEEK and put it in the bank! While you are young and can! Trust me young shaver!

He has a point. If I saved 100$ a month I would be sitting pretty right now.

IMO if you want water just stick with a AIO water loop as they have been proven to cool very well. I have a Thermaltake Water2.0 Performer on my 2600K 4.5ghz 1.33V crunching 24/7 100% load never going over 55 degrees so I think it does its job LOL

Exactly. If I had saved 100 bucks a week from my check since I was 19 I would have 78,000 right now. That's a nice chunk of investment money and that's if I NEVER used a long term high interest rate of some kind. Think of money like a game score. The more you have in the bank the better your score, and remember debt is not wealth.

As for the rig stick with air. No need to water cool anything IMO.
