Performed Mods:
I primed and painted the inside of the case to more closely match the colr on the outside. I am considering adding a fan in the top of the case and maybe even the bottom. I saw someone on here removed the HDD cage on the bottom of their rig, for better airflow. I might even try that one myself. I'm going to add a video card or two at a later date (possibly next year), as a future upgrade. I'm also going to add another 4 Gig of memory too, when the price drops way down.
I really enjoy looking at all of the setups on here. I thought I would share some info and pictures of mine too. I recently built myself a new system, after my wife made me stop messing with hers. I really have no complaints with my new build. I have implemented the settings of PC Guru's (from AMD Processors Forums) very nice 3.7GHz OC, and am enjoying it very much. Overclocking info: CPU Clock: 3710.3MHz, Core Mult.: 14x265, CPU Volts: 1.475v, NB Mult.: 9x NB Clock: 2385.21MHz, NB Voltage: 1.30v, HT-Link: 2385.9MHz.

whats with the stupid psu? when your not even running a system that would go over 200w load :\

(ok i read your going to add next year) still even adding 2 it stil a bit overkill and the rails on that psu arn't very good :\, meh..


great system though looks good inside and you did a very good job inside hiding cables and such :) would be nice with a 5870 or something when there out ;)
