The (new) Official PC building thread!

yes i have both fans in the front which has room for 3 optical drives. taking one fan out gives you three more bays. as cool as this baby runs i don't think that would be a problem at all taking one fan out

 

I've been thinking about this...and I do not see why it would not work...I'm thinking about mounting a pump...and radiators...in my garage...and water cooling all (4) computer stations in my house...transferring all the heat into my garage...which will be cold...No direct sunshine ever hits it...it would make all my PC's...basically Silent...and No Room Heater Effect...in the Summer...

Cost should be minimal...the house is getting gutted to the studs...I could use the same Pex Tubing that I am using for Radiant Floor Heat...I am going with Under Rafter Tubing so I will always have access...I could even rig a pelter cooler to a stainless steel water tank...to chill the water in the summer...Hell...I do not see why I couldn't...make a copper coiled radiator...and bury it in the ground...and use the earth as a giant heatsink...I would have the worlds largest CPU Cooler...You would have to move to a Bigger Planet then the Earth...to Top It...LOL..

 

sammorris,

It would certainly be one heavy "Mother frogger"! Imagine the noise every time the compressor kicked on! ROFLMAO!!

abuzar1,

You slice bread??? Peasant! ROFLMAO!!Jk As far as Jessica Alba goes, y'all may have invented her, but I'd be more into refining her! LOL!! You know, make sure every thing fits properly! ROFLMAO!!

Best Regards,

<buries head in hands>

 

Come on Sam you're old enough to know girls don't have cooties.

Russ, trust me everything will fit. We fitted her with some VERY stretchable material.

 

abuzar1,

Well, she does have a nice set of........ Oh, you said cooties, not Cuties! LOL!!

Russ

 

Glad to see our older members can appreciate her. I thought you would still be stuck on Marilyn Monroe.

I'm just kidding lol.

 

abuzar1,

I never was a Marilyn Monroe fan, although I do own the very first issue of Playboy with her in it, still in the brown paper sleeve! It's never been opened! Way too slutty for my tastes! I think the worst video ever was her singing "Happy Birthday" to JFK, all sloppy drunk! LOL!!

Russ

 

I am, nor did I ever believe they existed in the first place since 'cooties' only seem to be referred to in the US. However, I don't actively go about disproving their existance, if you get my drift.

 

sammorris,

Hell, I've been actively disproving their existence for 53 years, and I've had a lot of fun doing it! LOL!!

Russ

 

I bet you have...

sammorris..I think old school referes to cooties as bed bugs
BB was hotter then MM

 

YA RLY FOR ME!!!!!!!

Just ordered my Corsair HX 520W from Amazon. Should be here by Friday or something.(chose supersaver delivery)

Gives me more time to analyse system parts for abit longer.

 

Getting the PSU first, good man!
Although saying that amazon have been very behind on deliveries of late, so who knows, you may end up with your other parts arriving before it!

 

Just the man i needed at this time,

Pick one.........im on spending spree LOL

They are supposedly on sale. I like the Antec P182 for the price.

 

That Lexa looks pretty good. You should hear Sam go on about it heh

 

OMGOMGOMG

This is barely more than half the price I paid for mine - The Lexa is a stunningly beautiful case, and well built too. It's the last one!
I see no P182 on there, only the P180, and frankly the 182 is far better.

 

So it's a "BUY!" over the Coolermaster COSMOS 1000?

 

Well, it depends on your style really. The Cosmos 1000 is more restrained but the Lexa, whilst more extravagant in its looks, is elegant, not 'overdone' like a lot of gaming cases.
It's incredibly light yet sturdy, features capable but quiet fans (even by my standards), uses a tool-less drive system, which while not perfect, is dead simple to use, comes with a carry bag and an in-built temperature monitor, as well as a cable-tidy rack at the rear, and easily removable dust filters for the fans.

Also, with that clearance offer, the Cosmos is double the price. For me, that's a no brainer.

 

Got questions!!!

Thermalright Ultra 90 for K8 AMD......

plain brown box

what it looks like

the cpu (AMD X2 3800)

Intalled

First off:

Did I buy the correct cooler? I thought that they installed the same way the Cooler Master did. With the AIR FLOW going out the back of the case. This is a down firing type (toward the bottom of the case) which I'm not against because it "blows" on my GPU which is good...

IF I did get the right cooler is it installed correctly or would you change something?

I'm sure I should ask something else but at this point I'm a little confused. I don't remember reading anything about the K8 version being a "down firing" cooler. :S

@He_Man,
What do you want in a case He_Man? I think you have a limited selection there if you ask me.
