Air Cooled Gallery

Figured i'd share my system with you guys, although i fear it might not be all that extreme - the specs are in my sig.

I have tried to keep it simple and clutter free, my main concern when i build the system was noise, which means low speeds fans, and as little airflow obstructions as possible.. oh and a big ass heatsink The ultra120 is the best performer on the market atm, and it is quite easy to handle considering it's size. The two 120mm fans are home sleaved as per freecableguy's excellent guide, but since i don't have a crimp tool i gave up doing the two other fans - it's just to difficult and time consuming to do with nothing but "normal" tools at hand.




The hdd's are suspended with rubber cords for optimal vibration reduction, and it also gives good space between them so as not to obstruct the intake fans too much. As you can see i have nothing in my 5.25" bays (i use an external cd/dvd-writer and a usb-ide converter kit for a wealth of hdd's in my closet from previous systems for external storage) and i am considering weather or not there would be room enough to fit a radiator, a pump and a resevoir into those drivebays and watercool the cpu... *hmm*



This is my first take ever at doing cable management, alot can improve, but i am fairly happy with the state of things...



...especially when i compare to previous comps i've build



Anyways, it's not much to look at, but it runs like dream
