just found the case in my garage, had forgotten about it until today, so painted it quickly this morning, not very good but it looks okay, just at replacement until i get the money for a Lian Li case. and paintet the grills blue.

did some cable management, also just a quickie, dont wanne spend to much time on it anyway.

I like the color scheme man, good to see something different. 9/10 from me

 

[Cuzza]

Paint looks excellent to me, maybe flattering photography? I like the colours a lot. 7/10

 

[(FIH) The Don]

THX you 2, the paint is NOT good, but you cant really see it, its just because i know whrer the bad paint is.

yeah the scheme is good, always wanted af white and blue pc so i painted i this morning.

i have a slow upload so i changed the res. on my digi cam, otherwise it would take forever to upload, but whin i get the lian li, it will be at a photographers place, and then the pictures will be nice

The way you have your fans doesn't make sense to me.. It appears you have the first one on the cooler pulling air towards it, but the exhaust fan is sucking air from the back of the case. I can't see the second fan on the cooler, but either way it's pointing if my guesses are correct it won't be doing a very good job at cooling the CPU.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

shit, you're right, one of the fans on the cooler is the wrong way, good you noticed it, just checked my temps and they are 55c idle :-S

so i turned it the other way and it dropped to 42c thx man

the color scheme just looks relaxing, I really like this 10/10

Hey no problem. Glad I could help you out. Everyone makes little mistakes like that sometimes, trust me. The one I always remember is me putting together a whole new system and forgetting to plug the CPU 12 volt in and raging when the system wouldn't boot lol

yeah i will, tomorrow.

its like 00.30/12.30 at night in DK

the paint isnt that well done, but the 2 colors together is very good i think.

think i will do the same with a Lian Li case, just with som powder coat.


yours is very nice with those colors, like it very much

yeah i know that, did it with a P2 940 and it destroyed it due to much heat haha, i almost cried.

and also i will be removing the 9800gtx, the gtx-295 is getting very hot, lik 70c idle, and cant put the 9800 in the buttom socket because of the PSU, damn thing

 

[HammerON]

I agree with the other posts ~ nice job on the paint. Like the blue and white theme

 

[Duke_GuRu]

Nice color theme, paint quality is very good. I like it.
but i have something to ask isn't that a Thermaltake V9 case? how did it end up forgotten in the garage? I'm asking that because it's almost a $100 and it's a good Mid-tower case.

 

[to6ko91]

love the blue grills but not so much the white :S
8/10

P.S. how do you just accidentally find a tt case like that ?? lol

 

[(FIH) The Don]

yeah i know its a good case, but! i got it like 4 months ago for free and i had the antec 900 at that time and didnt want to change it with all the CM and stuff like that, and besides the top panel was broken in the back, so i had to glue it back together, wich you can see on the picture from the backside.

but anyways, i put it in the garage and a couple of days ago i cleaned it up and found it, had totally forgotten it, så i painted i quickly and here it is.

but i'm thinking something wild with the colors next time with a lian li, maybe some chameleon ?

 

[dr.rooke84]

dont the gpu's get hot sitting that close to each other!

 

[dr.rooke84]

i will say though very nice paint job its different mate

 

[(FIH) The Don]

i will say though very nice paint job its different mate

yeah they do, but only around 80c for the 295 and 65-70c for the 9800 gtx

planning on selling the 9800.

may I ask what is the option you see on the physx settings? Is it just the same enable/disable? Or do you see another option that selects what video card you want to use?
