@kvadzio: nice, did you paint the fan?

Who knew the Corsair Dominator fan was actually quite nice under all those ugly stickers?

i did the same thing awhile back...but i put black fan guards on mine:

What fans did you use? 40mm fans are hard to come by, especially if you also want led fans in red.
Hardly anyone makes them anymore.

@theorie: I am not entirely sure I like them, but I just have an aversion against grills. Still, looks nice.

Edit: I found some. Ace Modding has a whole set of them in many different colors.
But 7600rpm.

Neither do I. But what makes me really sad its the fact that i can't find an ssd like that in my room. God! How fast!

EDIT: are the pics too big?

Nice rig there emoners. Justr a few questions regarding your rig mods though, what is that vacating your 5.25 bay just under the imon ultra bay? Cant seem to make out what that is.
Secondly what material did you use for that panal covering the side 5.25 bays witht eh xtreme systems sticker on it?

[Marco André]

emoners, were you shivering with cold on the 1st pic?

Your case looks good but you need to upgrade the VGA cooler man

[MomijiTMO]

Awesome Emoners!

[IKIKUINTHENUTZ]

Hey nice idea on that plate that cover the wires to the right of the mobo

btw where did you buys those buttons on the front and take a picture of them light up!

thanks. the 3rd slot is actually a 3.5" docking bay for my Silverstone MS05 external hard drive. & the face plates on the right side of the mobo & covering the drive bays are acrylics which i painted black on the back side.

hahaha it was actually taken without a stand & at an awkward position. i know, was really hoping to go into watercooling except that i don't have the funds for it at the moment & it's so hard to get those stuff where i'm at. & the only after market aircooling stuff for my vidcard, isn't available yet here.

Awesome Emoners!

thanks mate!

[mav2000]

Super stuff there....love the way the whole thing has come together to look nice...btw whats the HS for out side the case. I think I also see a small 40 mm clear fan there near the I/O shield...whats that for??

i used sunon fans. very quiet compared to the stock fans.

i'm against those ace fans cause my friend tried to do what i did with them and they fried.

[methimpikehoses]

Nice, emoners.

[djalex]

@emoners
What kind of motherboard backside cooler you use? Is this IFX-10? How to set the right angle?

What you see sticking out the backside of the case is part of the DFI's chipset cooling setup. It is made by Thermalright AFAIK, though.

Some pics, one of the cases I'm working on atm.






Lovely wallpaper..

Edit; Forgot the link to my log, its in swedish though.

Good to know. Where did you buy them, in Singapore? I will be staying there for a couple of days on a stopover to Tasmania and New Zealand.

Any shop worth going to?

you can check out uvnium on your stop over. they are located in Sim Lim Square. If you are into the bling and other stuff.
http://www.uvnium.com/uvshop/

If you like to DIY and crimp your own fans then you can try Sim Lim Tower just diagonally located. 3rd floor is a good place to start too. Most of the industrial fans 40/60/80/120 are available there.

hi guys,I came in this awsome forum to discuss about the beautiful world oh hardwareland lol,I came from Italy,in a little and beautiful country called abruzzo,nice to meet you all
this is my rig:

[boredgunner]

You guys have some innovative setups that I've never seen before. Mine is more on the "plain and simple" side.

CPU idle temps are 33-37 degrees Celsius, max load temps in Prime95 are 46-49 degrees Celsius. I'm using two Scythe Slipstream 120mm x 25mm fans on it, each are rated at 1900 RPM/110 CFM. I use OCZ Freeze thermal paste. I put a BB sized drop on the center of the CPU and then I put the cooler directly on top of it (best method). I have the COOLER MASTER ATCS 840 case with 10 fans. There are 11 in this pic, but that fan right in front of the video card is now right below the identical one in the 5.25" bay. Those dark blue LED fans are the COOLER MASTER R4 series fans, 2000 RPM/90 CFM. They're more quiet than my Scythe Slipstream fans, and way more quiet than my old Antec TriCool fans (2000 RPM/79 CFM). They push much more air and spin faster according to my fan controller. According to my fan controller, the Antec's spun at 1850-1900 RPM max. These spin at 1900-1950 RPM.

The fans. I have three with blue LEDs (two visible in the pic above, and one on the rear) and two with no LEDs (one in my Scythe Kama Bay using a fan grill, the other in the external air duct).

I disabled the 230mm top exhaust fan closest to the drive bays. It drew air out of the case prematurely and added to the negative air pressure. I tried making it an intake and it didn't help.
