Vintage Lian Li budget upgrade

[Philwong]

The objective of this revamp is to improve the responsiveness of this Web surfing rig at minimum cost. Hence, most of the parts will be recycled from the current build except for the CPU, mobo and RAM. To handle the new thermal load, I will be upgrading the current 2 x 120mm rad to 3 x 120mm + 1 x 120mm.

Here's a quick rundown of the key hardware;

- Athlon II X3 440
- Asus M4A88TD-M
- OCZ AMD Black Edition 4GB DDR3-1600
- Asus 8800GTS 320MB
- Corsair HX620
- Lian Li PC70USB
