Nice system, cables are a little messy on the inside but for how many drives you have it's really pretty nice. Great scores too. Only thing I don't like are the mix of white and black drives on the front.

Thanks for the comments...but no rating

I like your idea to reverse the harddrives .... not sure if it is possible with my case layout also still using ata133 not sata will require more room....will take a look at it.

Thanks again

I did that also... its just a bitch sometimes and interferes with my fan

Nice system! I like your idea of taking pictures as your built it up... wish i'd done that.

Hey, you wanna check out the bios on the motherboard to see if there's any settings affecting the PCIe slots. I found a few settings in there that boosted my graphics card performance significantly. Before i was getting roughly the same 3dmark05 scores as you, and afterwards, getting 6k and up.

The settings you should look for are:

PEG buffer length - set to [long]
PEG link mode - Set to [faster]

There's a couple others, but they don't seem to have as much of an impact.

Hows you memory performing? Can i see a sisoft sandra memory bandwidth benchmark? Oh, and pcmark05.

Good job!

Thanks for the comments...I have a AGP video card ....I will run the bench on the ram and post the scores....Thanks again for the rating.

heat rises

just wondering why you have your tower right up near the cieling, i would put closer to the floor so it will run cooler..heat does rise and it will be warmer up there.

My desk has a bay for the tower but it is closed ....and gets just as warm....I live on the Central coast of CA so the house stays around 70 F ..... Also it is nice to see the case out in the open. Thanks for the inputs.
