Old...

already gone with black mate.

And after hearing about the feser 1 disaster im never using dyed fluids again.

gone with Black tubes cos i couldnt wait long enough for the white tubes.

Going home this weekend to grab the tools etc.

next update will be on monday when its complete :D

Update:

changed the PSU to the corsair as the fractal design wasnt in stock and the corsair was cheaper (and had better reviews). Apart from that theres another delay as watercoolingUK doesnt have...

cable ties work well

put the stick end through the holes in the rad, then the case, then the fans, put another blob bit on the end and tighten it, then you've got blob -> some stuff -> another...

thanks for looking!

WARNING Mammoth post:

intro

Right, Its that time of the month, errr, i mean year again, time for an upgrade and a new project!!!

its well overdue my existing case has been modded to infinity...

yep agreed 2gb is more than enough tho, I had 2gb in my vista gaming PC for ages, It never ended up using all of my physical memory or any virtual memory, even whilst playing bf2/crysis/css. so 2gb...

vista has different memory management to XP. Where as XP tries to consume as little mem as possible, and is constantly trying to recover more.

vista takes the approach of using as much as possible...

biggest disappointment ever, gfx are sooo bad, horrible jaggered lines even with AA on full, it seems the AA only effects ur car, so ur ment to stare at that instead of the road?!

the gfx engine...

agreed I cant take it anywhere

as for easy on the eyes thats a refresh rate thing, 60hz is know to give people headaches and what not, only VERY old/office CRT run a decent res at 60hz

LCDs...

FED screens on the other hand, thats the bloody future!! its essentially a CRT which is almost as...

i dnt believe it for a second.

they look like extremely good renders.

just just cropped the line that says:

"render time = 1 hour 10 minutes"

I highly doubt u'll see a game with gfx as...

hmmm it would be clever if you could attach the bottem mounts THROUGH the mobo into the case. That way the case will be holding up/supporting it, you'll then have to find a way to press the cpu into...

the extra 4 pins are used to beef up the psu -> mobo cabling which would allow it to carry more current. thats all, its not needed at all unless your overclocking the system alot and u feel the ATX...

pmsl i hope thats a joke mate.

JUST IN CASE you dont know its a well know scam in the scientific community, look how unprofession the site is, if it was real dont u think the goverment would have...

ahhh what?! ffs it took me just over a month to get the activation email thro! i was desperate for advice on a new TEC build and had to go ahead without cos it took sooooo god dam long!

Its caused by the movie player trying to use DX9 to play the movie, but the DX9 is already being used by the game.

you can get around it by using a more advanced media player such as media player...

omg just realied a TRUE is Thermal Right Ultra Extreme!!
