Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

I agree. It looks worse than it is. I have most of the cable tied on the back of the HDD cage and it is out of the way of the airflow.

I wanted to get her this case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112239

But we found the case in the picture for $20 at Microcenter. It was too good to pass up since she was looking for a low cost build.

God, I love Lian-Li cases.

 

[salvage-this]

Yeah I really like their designs. I was getting pretty excited to build in it. Maybe further down the road I'll get her a better case.

 

[Hyper-Threaded]

Free stuff.

And the pentium duel core rig,
Pentium duel core 2ghz
2gb ddr2 ram
500gig wd hd
Biostar g41 mobo
Dell Case from 05

Now with sound blaster Audigy 2 z5, and a geforce 6600. The 8400 gs was a pile of junk that kept overheating, and I dont play games on it ,plus the 6600 has much better memory bandwidth. Used for Flac and web browsing. And lucky, the sound card has the same audio front panel jack as the factory dell.

Picture update:

Need to get a view of the front with the new fans.

 

[CrazyMike]

Well I went today and updated my desktop.

BEFORE:



AFTER:






Now i gotta update my sig

I still cant stand noctua fans...ugly buggers...

Oh i know..... they work like a hot damn though... and very good build quality. Until I figure out a different fan with the same performance, I'll be using them. Plus whenever they release the Swiftech H220, those Noctua fans will be gone anyway.

Air series HSP HP. http://www.corsair.com/en/cpu-cooli...e-edition-high-static-pressure-120mm-fan.html
Higher Static Pressure, which means better performance.

compare to yours http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=42&lng=en&set=1

Plus the Air Series looks 100x better.

 

[FuryRosewood]

Thats the fan i have in the 1200 now, just one thing to be aware of, the cables are REALLY goddamn short x.x need extenders for mine, might be able to manage it with a 4 way splitter for a 3 pin.

I was going to suggest the same, also the AF would be useful for him at the back exhaust.

btw nice upgrades CrazyMike :good:, the leds lightings look good.

it is not really an issue on the HSP versions, as they are meant mainly for heatsinks and Rads. Long cables are rarely needed there (the plugs are like 3" away at most), but I get what you mean. I only wish they were 4 pin, as it would make them easier to control (I get 0 control on my board using 3 pin fans)

 

[FuryRosewood]

Thats the problem im running into with my motherboard, im going to contact asus about it... one of the 3 headers im using provides voltage control to the 3 pin fan...the other two are not doing anything, and i would like to know why that is happening.

 

[spirit]

Your system looks great Mike! Love the case and the lighting! :good:

Are the other 2 supposed to provide volt control?

I personally don't expect the 3 pins to control anything as they are not designed to. PWM is for control.

 

[steveo9043]

Thanks! Yeah Gigabyte has really impressed me with their newer motherboards. Both looks and function. I'm just pumped that I could put this together for so cheap.

@ steveo9043 can you post a shot of the inside? I have never seen a pc built in that case.

Sorry the inside shot took so long. It's still messy but here you go.

 

[spirit]

I hope you're planning to tidy up those cables a bit.

 

[steveo9043]

I hope you're planning to tidy up those cables a bit.

I do! Going to be installing another hard drive and a blu ray drive here soon. I think I'll be done on the inside. I am using the fan that came with the CPU right now. Temps have stayed under control, I don't think I'm going to over clock the CPU. I did to see how temps were and they stayed below 75 and I managed a 14,300 geekbench score lol

Edit: didn't realize it was you at first lol

Not true, 3 pin controls with voltage. 4 pins control with PWM, hence why those fans come with a reducing resistor in the box to run a 7 volts, there is a way to do it, but something must be wrong with the board or I am not looking into it right.
