I try not to add the total up.....

q6600 8800gtx 4gb ram 3 wc loops etc etc adds up

i can say i didnt pay full retail price for most of my gear...i got alot of bargain/discounts and selling off old pc gear to pay for this pc...

so i really didnt spend that much....

sorry about lack of pics guys...

[septim]

and then he'll get the itch for the 4th loop... hehehe

[disruptfam]

ok im back from holidays...

over the past week or so that i have been gone... my pc has built up alot of dust!! lol....

any tips on cleaning it out????

I read somewhere canned air or whatever its called is good...?

[Jedda]

It is but you can go through a few cans.
Some are higher pressure and more air than others. The Jaycar cans are good. D'Smith not so good.
I use a compressor but it needs to be oil and water droplet free in its output. So its a normal compressor with outlet traps or an oil-free type. Don't let your fans spin free. It'll kill the bearings.

cheers mate....

I've been thinking of swapping out my q6600 for a e6750 i have lying around....

Would having a higher clocked dual core say (3.8ghz) outdo a quad @ 3.2ghz?? in most game/applications???



also would swapping out my cpu effect my os?

I think you'd be better off with the dual core, it doesn't get as hot as a quad.
I also think that you won't notice to much a difference in speed if you clocked it up to 3.8

And swapping out a cpu shouldn't effect the os, you may have to do an update of some sort but it shouldn't be any problem.

You've done a great job on this project mate!!
But I want final pics... NOW!!!!

[Jedda]

Probably. I only have a quad because I render a lot and thats the only developed multi-thread soft atm.
In a year, games will take advantage of multi-threading but multi-tasking is the only other area of quad advantage currently and a dual core does that well anyway.
I've both E6600 and Q6600 here and am only using the quad 'cause its a box for 3D modeling and graphic work primarily. If I was still flying flight sims, instead of making them, it'd have the E6600 in for sure.

[Mekrel]

It's looking fantastic, looks tidy and the concept is pretty extreme. Really giving the itch for the PC343B to be finished.

[Jedda]

It does look good, doesn't it.
Your's is like mine, Mekrel.
Closer it gets to completion, the slower it goes! lol

[disruptfam]

cheers all....i'll swap out my cpu tonight then

thanks for nice comments guys.....

i'll get them pics to youse asap....i'm capped atm so its gonna take a ages to upload them all

It comes to something when someone can buy the same case as you 6+ months after and have it set up before you, ~aoe~ managed to do that lol.

I'm a perfectionist, that's my problem. Tom @ ChilledPC is always listening to me moan about how I so want my rig to be finished, and he suggests ways around me waiting for different things yet I always refuse because it needs to be perfect.

disruptfam, what camera did you use to take those last pictures? They look great

[disruptfam]

cannon s3 Is

potrait mode, 1600x 1200 res, fine, 200 iso

I've figured out some better (Manual) settings since i took those pics

So new pic's will look alot better...

turned up the res toned down the iso... etc etc

You see that multi-colour anodising effect they have? The TJ-07 you mentioned is one case where all the internals remove easily. Just crying out to be done like that with black and red or blue. With a black exterior and multi internals it'd look great!

"She"
I've seen pix of Tom in his work boots and thats no girl.
Not getting Julie and Tom mixed up?
