Right now I want to get the speakers mounted, my Deck Keyboard fixed, and make sure everything is running properly.

CPU voltage is 1.45 and I just raised the multiplier from 13x to 14x to get 2800 MHz for now.

Ambien temp is 21 C - 28 C. Depends on the day and the air conditioning settings, but It usually gets 21 C (For now wile its summer)

I moved arround the core wile the PC was running, and it started to release bubbles. After a wile of releasing bubbles, my T line got about 2" empier

Yea ya know I guarantee you you still have more bubbles in your rad hence your temps not being ideal, but close to the mark. You really shoulda shaken it around more when you were filling it.

I made my PC mostly for gaming purposes :D
Runs really nice all my games.
Load times are really short, and I can run all my games at 1600x1200 with 4xAA and 8xAF.
Sometimes my FPS get a bit lower than 30 FPS when there is too much going on ;) ,
but I can fix that when I get my GPU block and start OCing it :D

Its not 30 fps. When I play Source engine games, I usually get > 100 FPS in a normal ambiet. When I start to see a lot of water effects, object physics everywhere, and a lot of player, the FPS could get a bit lower than 30 fps.

As I said before:
"Sometimes my FPS get a bit lower than 30 FPS when there is too much going on ;) "

As my signature says below, my card is a Sapphire x850xt VIVO.
Its at stock speeds right now.

BTW, I might go to Home Depot to get the parts to hang my speakers, Im also going to try and get the Flitz, and Im also thinking on buying a customized wooden cylinder with rubber feet so I can elevate my screen about 1 1/2 " so I can scoot it a bit to the back so its not so close too me

My PC might look even better when Im finished, because with this Ill have the aluminum polished, the speakers in their place and not holded by boxes (so I can clean up my room)

Im going to Europe in a couple of days, so Ill try to finish before I go and post some pics

I have the same speakers, gotta love them (and worship them) huh??

Yeah, they are verry nice for the price.
Got this on www.amazon.com for $300 (new w/S&H included) and with the Audigy 2 ZS from www.newegg.com ($60 OEM) and Im set with quality sound :rocker:
I know a sound expert may say Im a n00b because of saying this is quality sound :D, but its way better than having standar speakers or any other PC surround sound speaker with the exception of the Gigaworks 7.1 that could be better if you are going 7.1.
Before people think Im saying these speakers s**k, Im not.
I think these speakers rock :rocker:
Best PC speakers Ive ever had

ok, I went to home depot and got some parts for speaker mounting and other things
Here is what Im doing again:
1) Mounting speakers
2) Raising my monitor about 1 1/2 " so I can scoot it back a bit so its not too close to my eyes
3) Organizing my cables
4) Polishing my case (I didnt find the Flitz polisher, so I cant polish my aluminum now. I could just clean my finger prints with a piece of cloth or something)

Here are the things I got:
1) Some plastic cap that perfectly fit my plans of raising my monitor
2) Some rubber feet, so the weight of the plastic cap, the monitor, and the speakers dont damage the verry nice black finish on my desk. :D
3) Black duck tape to wrap the plastic cap so it looks like a smooth black finish..
4) 4 L brackets that Im going to use for the speakers. Im using one per speaker. If you think its too small to hold one speaker, dont worry, I have this situation under control. You will see the finishing product ;)
5) Some screws to hold the speakers on the L bracket
6) Some screws to hold the L bracket on the walls
7) Black tie wraps that Im going to use to organize my cables. I have to have the exterior cables looking as good as the interior cables, you know ;)

Here is a pic of what I bought:

Are you pleased with your mousepad? I like the looks of it, but I am still going to stick with the Razer eXactMat RZ-3050, as it is pretty big anyhow. When I get my setup, I will need to get a new desk, for all the stuff, heh.

Hehehe
I need a new chair, and desk, but until I get my new rig, the bed will have to do for browsing... Wish I could game on the bed too, it is very comfortable (to the extent it makes me feel shameful).

I may get enough for a really good rolling chair afther I build a PC for someone.

Turok,
Did you get that case badge from Frozen CPU? If so, you have to glue them yourself??

Thanks,

Yeah, I got it from FrozenCPU.com
I dont recommend buying from them, but their case badges are nice.
Here is the badge I got:
http://www.frozencpu.com/bad-470.html
You dont have to glue it yourself, the badge is a sticker
I didnt want to use the sticker, because I didnt want to ruin the Lian-Li logo and it would be easier to change it if I want another badge :D
I painted the edges in black because the Lian-Li logo was a few mm larger.
I didnt paint the logo, I painted the protective film thats sticking on the badge when you buy it

BTW, the sticker is from Doom 1 because I liked the classic Doom in 1993, but I think Doom 3 s**ks

If you look on the first page where the gallery is, you can see two cable sleevings being compared on top of a UV light.
The left one is the one FrozenCPU.com gave me when I bought a Vantec sleeving kit (they gave me some other brand)
The one on the right is the REAL Vantec sleeving kit. Bought 1x in newegg.com and 2x in ZipZoomFly.com.
ZipZoomFly.com had a better offer for more than one Vantec sleeving kit

Here is my old thread where I talk about 2 problems I had with FrozenCPU.com

ok guys
Afther these accessories, my PC could be considered done
Here are some pics afther using the accessories.

Here is my speaker mounting solution.
Its not the finest looking mounting
youve ever seen, but its effective
and verry cheap

This is how it looks before the tie wraps

A front view of the PC without flash

This si how it looks with the flash on (or in daylight)

http://img19.echo.cx/img19/4976/887ts.jpg

This is what I was talking about raising my monitor.
With this base, now I can scoot the monitor a bit closer
to the window, so its not so close to my eyes.

http://img19.echo.cx/img19/2469/777tf.jpg

Here are some new side pannel pics.
I made them larger than the rest so
you can see them in more detail :cool:

http://img19.echo.cx/img19/7399/11111cx.jpg

Here is my next project. Im building this for someone.
The money that comes from this build could be enough
to buy me a quality rolling chair :woot:

Just a question, why do you need special mounting hardware when it has built in places for screws??

So I can place them as close as possible to the perfect angle.
The other thing is that the front ones are better facing my way from the front wall. If I do that, the case will block the right speaker.
Doing this will scoot the speaker away from the case

Would be nice to hear from a speaker expert to make sure everything is right

Turok, you are a real professional at making clean rigs and making people like me drool. :p: When are you going to Europe? Are you going to be able to come on XS? I'm going to need advice on how to make the best looking rig this July. Oh yeah, some noobish 13 year person question session here. How do you make the heat shrink tighten onto the sleeves so they aren't loose?

That's amazing dude..! I would have done that if my parents weren't tight-wads! :sigh:

Now I am stuck with no watercooling, no Deck keyboard, lame mouse, sucky speakers (actually quite good), no uv lights, no window, lame lame lame..! My rant is over and done with.. Love your rig man and the whole area ta boot!

Turok,

Just curious on that speaker of yours, how long is the cable for your rear speaker ? I was thinking about getting the same speaker but I'm afraid the rear speaker cable won't be long enough.
