Okay almost finished putting my old PC back together,
it's my first standard-case-turned-into-an-upside-down-case mod, it's a bit ghetto at the mo.
I like the cases with the clear panels in the front, I've never seen or heard of anyone putting photos in the front of a case, has anyone else?
not great for aiorflow, but I'm not heavily oc'ing and i'm using the Vapor-X so heat isn't an issue!
Ignore the white CD drive, my black one's not working at the mo.
I'm also getting a set of fans that take up one 5.25" drive bay.
I've seen the Spire ones, any suggestions on better ones?

It looked like this before (I did the spray myself)

Sorry for the picture quality, any comments and advice are very welcome

Well IMHO, i sure hope i wont be those dads that have my sons pic as wallpaper. But on the case :wtf:

Actually if my son was a dragon or epic snake i might

I actually thought that was cool, its even more custom then what I do with my cases!

When I saw his other pics in his Project Log I noticed. Yeah, that way it's outta the way a bit, great job though. I give it to him :toast:

Why you trading bro? Don't like the board?

(FIH) The Don · Mar 11, 2010

yeah i do like it, but like they say in The Godfather, Im gonna give you an offer you cant refuse

he wanted to trade it for my SLI LE with no extra charge, then im in, he just want it because of its looks

and btw, the SLI LE has a weird PCI-E layout

1. is 16x
2. is 8x
3. is 4x.
4. is 4x i think?EDIT: its 8x, but i cant use it to much since the psu is blocking for dual slot cards

would be nice to have a board that did full speed on the first 2 slots and not that weird config

but overall its a nice board

Get a Rampage II Gene or Extreme and be done with it. :cool:

(FIH) The Don · Mar 12, 2010

thats what i'm thinking, + i can sell it for like 300$, then i can fetch a H50 + a cube case and still have money left :laugh:

well i already have a m-atx 1366 board laying on my desk, and i'm kinda hooked on getting a new cube case, so i think i'll keep the X58M from MSI, it even oc's better than the sli le :laugh:

ASUS > MSI

(pure speculation mind you)

in SOME cases that is true depends on the board and the use both make good boards.

also how are your temps on the i7 and what pump and rad do you use?

(FIH) The Don · Mar 12, 2010

well i was VERY surprised by this little MSI board, i could get 4.1ghz stable on it.

mind you that its missing the vreg heatsink(you have to buy one your self)

My temps are kinda odd. even on stock it idles from 36-40 but load doesnt go over 63? i suspect that it could be the fans im using or i need to change from 3/8 to 1/2 tubing and maybe a faster pump? also i was thinking of going tri rad?

what pump do you have? my temps like to hover around 50c load.

brandonwh64 · Mar 12, 2010

This is identical to what i have

I have the OCZ rebrand of that pump. I don't see that being the cause of the problem :toast:

brandonwh64 · Mar 12, 2010

its pretty good and flows good water. i think it might be the fans im using. i might change the all out for some good 110cfm fans

I'm happy with mine.I snagged mine for $38 shipped brand new

replacing the fans could make a difference. Also 3/8 vs 1/2 isn't much if any difference that is something people have argued over for along time now.

brandonwh64 · Mar 12, 2010

yea? hmmm. yea i got my pump from PP migure on the forums here for 25$ shipped and its been a good one! i suspect its either my rads or my fans. my block is a Apogee GT

mine is a Enzotech SCW. What rad?

brandonwh64 · Mar 12, 2010

swiftech 240 rad. and a no named 120 rad

Velvet Wafer · Mar 12, 2010

the swiftech rad is fine, i use it myself. the other rad doesnt block the flow, i guess, if its a standard design (and no Thermaltake-Rad
