No come on, no matter what the performance of that thing, the sonic tower does look good in the case.

Thought I'd throw some up of my P180 build.

Q6600 G0, TRUE, X1950XT, P5B-E, yates

I made some cuts a week ago so I can route the cables nicely.

I still have the IDE drive I need to get rid of, and will likely go to X38 or P35 in a few months (the P5B-E was fantastic with an E6400, but just can't seem to power this quad past ~315 FSB).





The whole school setup, minus door:



I just threw the speakers up on the wall, but don't feel like grabbing another pic.

[zanzabar]

here is my comp in its new used p180b w/ its new used enermax noise taker 600W, this is a preliminary build for the case so im going to cut a hole to stick th2 12v around the back and clean it up when i go and drive down to petras and get some ram sinks and an arctic cooler silencer rev2, im also makeing a custom ram cooler and swaping out the antec fan for a 2nd smart fan 2 since the antec fan dosnt push much air

also if u mount a zalman heatsinks on a diametric mounting system make sure to use longer screws and get a 2nd set of bolts or else it will pop out and strip the bolts on the top hs screw, probly wont happen on newer mb though couse they have 4 screw holes

i also need a long exposure dark pic but i didnt have my good camera charged

[ChaosMinionX]

Mmmm, waiting on some toys then I will post new rig picture

@Spawne, the sonic tower is ugly

PS: @ Whitebrow - Thats a nice lookin case you have there But man, what about that keyboard? And might I suggest using a Push/Pull config with the TRUE infront of 120mm exhaust like that?

[leoftw]

zanzabar I have a question for you , did you mount your 9500 with only two screws ?

[zanzabar]

yes i did but i have the back plate reinforced, soc 939 only has 2 mounting points, adn i just shoved a yate in the slot between the antec fan in the shroud and the hd bay on the bottom since i just saw in everest that my hard drive was at 50c but now its at 35c and 40c load


how do u pull that shroud and fan out i dont get it

Looks awesome Brian, very nice. But... no optical drive? External maybe?

Yes, USB External.

USB 2.0 and Slow Ass Optical Drives seem to be perfect for each other..

I must say brian, very nice, love the colors that its putting out in the dark, what color CFL's are you using?

A Total of 37 Individual Blue and Red LED lights that are all attached to two single wires that were sleeved and heat shrinked.

One that runs down the HDD (2 Between Each HDD Blue)
One That runs the top and near lip of the case

Thanks For your comments.

Here are the LED lights..
Hook to Yellow and Black.

What is your recommendation then...

well said indeed

IBM Model M baby! It's really a beaut to type on.

I'll have to try the push-pull. I will probably wait until I get a different motherboard as my load temps aren't very high with this modest overclock.

[ChaosMinionX]

What is your recommendation then...





Thanks...

Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme = TRUE

[cyberspyder]

Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme = TRUE

hehe I just got that...and I have one!

[HaGGaRd]

Love the update on your rig Brian, just try and keep it dust-proof

[LeTiger]

Finally, A computer I'm not too embarrassed to post!

Coolermaster Centurion (Fully Spray painted Black, makes a world of difference)
Evga 8800gts
Evga 680i
Intel Q6600 @ 2.8
PDX Crucial DDR2-1000
500gb Samsung
OCZ Powerstream 700watt

Silver components are ALL Thermalright, CPU heatsink is Zalman 9700

Many Pic's

















REFERENCE CASE: (My old computer)

NICE LeTiger!

what's the clearance between the fan of the HR03 Plus's fan with the PCI card at the bottom?

would it be possible to use a slim fan on the HR03 Plus so that another PCI card can be fitted?

[Ar3s]

you are displaying your microsoft serial for all you zoom in on.

[cyberspyder]

Why not a TRUE?

[Metric]

Why not a TRUE?

I was the other, erm "hands" helping in the pictures. After measurements were made, the TRUE or anything similar didn't have enough clearance space, both in terms of case depth and space between the cpu socket and psu (there's about a 2mm gap between the Zalman and psu right now.)

Ar3s: Either his host ran out of bandwidth or it looks like he figured that out, I'll see if he can get the images back up soon.

emoners: If I recall correctly, the fan is a 92mm x 25mm fan, and as far as I've seen/know that the thinnest you can get for that fan size.

The clearance between the fan and my sound card is about 5-6mm, not very much, but Im not using sli configuration...

As metric said, it would not be possible to mount a slimmer fan, as those are the slimmest they get, However, if I were to change mounting positions of the HR-Plus to above Vid card configuration, take out/slightly bend the NB HR, I would be able to easily fit a 2nd card in with my current configuration.

Ar3s - I zoomed in, sharpened w/photoshop, Couldn't tell any of the numbers, but changed it anyways, thanks for the heads up

Cyberspider- Pretty much what metric said, not enough room topside to put a couple of the other High-end heatsinks in there without bumping the PSU more than I would regularly want to. I could have cut fins on a Ultra-120 or whatnot, but decided to go with something that worked the way it was supposed to out of the shop (+ I'm a sucker for green LED's)

[zanzabar]

did tigers pic get pulled for the windows thing ar3s mentioned couse i wanted to see what every1 was talking about with the clearance thing

Fixed! Please refer to above posts.

[emoners]

Thanks Metric & LeTiger. But i used a Zalman OP1 fan (80 X 80 X15mm) & fits ok...with more air space provided.

Yeah! Love those things, used one of those in my first comp build, great fans.
