Yea hes a gamer! he loves good GFX when it comes to games.

We used to have one dad in the clan (40+) who was a fanatic in Counter-Strike and HL Deathmatch :)
Also, on Campzone (big outdoor LAN, 11 days) there are a lot of "senior citizens".

I fried the FX5600 when i OCed it to high because i came up with a different "type" of cooler for it. Still have it and a fried FX5700 Ultra in a box somewhere. And yes i still have this socket A rig in my storage. Dont have the case though. (I have that old Raidmax case though from the first pics) Got it in 2003 for 30 bucks and used it till i got this Antec 1200. (Had a few cases for review but didnt like them)

Edit: I skipped a funny pic in my Photobucket...woops.

Its an old Cannon 120mm DC fan i pulled from a huge printer.

Can somebody guess what monster i had upgraded to in this pic? Sorry for horrible quality. The new case pics i had used a school Olympus camera that was uber w1n.



Heres a pic of a "testbed" i was playing with. Can somebody guess this video card too?




Again sorry for horrible quality. The actual camera i owned back then was 10 bucks at walmart :roll:

Where can one buy these blue supports for the WC loop tubes?

They are called anti-kink coils and you can buy them anywhere usually that sells water cooling supplies. I use Primo-chill coils myself. Didnt have a choice on color for now though.

Edit: 27,000+ '06! I rate just under 16,000.

Can they be mounted after the WC system is connected?

I've used those before, it's a bit hard to do once it's installed already.

This RAM was a last minute decision. Was working graveyard last night and looked up Frys.com ram prices. Decided screw it and when i got off at 7am i drove to Frys. Took a quick nap until they opened then was the first in the door. Went straight to the guy and was like i want these *points at page on phone*. He said they will be 119 in store, but ill give you a discount so you can get them for 99. I was like :rockout: then drove home a happy man.

After i got 27k i was pleased enough to just stop and say meh. Im really happy with this rig. BTW XMP profile works perfectly on this ram.

I've used those before, it's a bit hard to do once it's installed already.
Yea idk how one would go about putting them on with the tubes already mounted to a barb. Hell it was difficult getting them on the tubing with just tube in my hand. :banghead:
