THIS IS MY FOURTH CASE..AND PROBALLY MY BEST...STILL THE CPU IS FAR FROM GOOD.. BUT IT GETS THE JOB DONE....AND WITH THE FREEZER 7 PRO THE PENTIUM D RUNS AT JUST 29°C....44°C LOAD.....
I just got the gamma case from NZXT, the smaller version of your case. With a few lil do-dads to keep your cables down, the cable management is great (if your psu has long cables). I like your rig, just work on hiding some cables bud. Trust me, its looks cool when its done. My Achilles rig just got transferred into that gamma case, just got to cut up the side panel so i can fit my V8. try and take some better pics dude, if you have to....take the case out into the sun. 7/10
points taken
allthough i have been building pc,s for years cable management has not been one of my strongest points,however when i next do any internal work i will do some cable clean up and sort these out...the psu is a ocz stealthstream and has not got too many cables,however would a modular psu be better in my case...the OCZ ModXStream Pro 500w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply ( www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-037-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098 ) would seem a obvious replacement psu allthough the OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply ( www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-031-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098 ) is only £10 more and would be worth the extra tenner and would be ok if i wanted to add another gts250
thanks again guys and any advice is allways welcome
cheers guys !
I looked up both psu's your talking about and i got to tell you what a few guys told me before i upgraded my psu. If you r gonna run 2 gts250's later on, your better off getting a better psu now than buy ANOTHER one later. I have 2 9800GTX+'s in physX config, to run both in either sli or physX, you need a psu with a minimum of 30amps on the 12V rail. Its the same for the gts250's, your psu will run one card with no problems but 2, i wouldn't risk it. One card requires 150 watts at max power, thats 12.5amps, per Nvidia's website along with numerous other manufacturers sites. I had an Apevia 680watt with a 12V rated at 25 amps. I was able to run 1 card for almost a year, then i got another card. my rig wouldn't even post.
