Intel E4500 OC'd @ 2.9GHz
BFG Nvidia GTX260
4GB RAM

Definitely need a new CPU, but oh well.

Open that thing up and give us the grand tour. Can't see anything from that pic unless we peek through the open drive bays.

I take it the PC is overheating? Or is that not a ghetto cooling system I see? I guess it would explain the open drive bays.

by looking at that pc it looks well old and naff but then you tell us whats in it, shocker. isnt it wierd that a fan that big gives better colling and less noise and can be cheaper lol.

ordinarily the bigger the fan the more CFM, and less noise, unless the fan is unbalanced which sometimes happens, and i have definitely used a window fan instead of my case door fans on more than one occasion

Thought I'd put an update on what everything looks like now






Looks like I might want to do a little bit of dusting lol. Only thing I thought I might do is paint the grill of the V10 to match the rest of the Black/Red theme..of course, I thought of that AFTER I put it all back together lol

Hi Ace. that system looks so cool and thats the case i want. you got 2x 120mm fans on top, 1x 120mm fan on side, back and front so your cooling and air flow must be good lol. Oh yeah and tell me how do your gtx 285's in sli do in games cause i'm so jealous right now!

Thanks ..yea the airflow isn't bad at all...I actually have 3 200mm fans(front,top,side) and 2 120's(top and rear)..the 285's in SLI is pretty kickass..only games that I have thrown at it that run less than 60 fps is Crysis and GTA4(even that runs near perfect).Batman is near flawless.I can't physically fit a 3rd gpu though with the motherboard I have in this case. Even the 9600GSO I have won't fit with how it looks now. oh well..at least the new dual-gpu's that will eventually be released will take care of that

Did the paint myself.( Rustoleum- Semi-Gloss Black and Apple Red ) I think CM should have done the inside black in the first place but oh well. lol ..I might see if I can get that PSU holder to retract more so I can possibly put a bottom fan in.

Will probs post a couple of pics of mine pretty soon. Gotta clean the desktop first though, the wiring is RUBBISH! Just waiting for it to cool down from folding all night... Should probs do something about the airflow as well, but pretty much skint atm.

Ok, finally got this sorted, decided to host pic on Facebook XD. The album is Here. Just need to get that P4 in the bottom left of the last shot working!

Ready or not here i come !

Just upgraded my case from this : http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.a ... 73&ID=1411
to this : http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.a ... =1480#Tab0

Believe it or not i bought the case for 85 euros. Yes, EIGHTY FIVE !
It has integrated watercooling system in it ! I only had to cut two pieces of tubing for the cpu block and just connect them with the IN and OUT tubes coming from the pump / radiator (lol i dont even know where they coming from)

So now my pc looks like this :

Side 230mm fan :O


Top

Side panel open (pro cable management again :O)


LCS radiator fan + top of water cooling tank



Oh and i almost forgot my secret weapon for removing almost any dust from all my computer's components :


I laughed too at first when my fiance told me to do it but i gotta say its VERY effective.

Nice touch with the powder brush. I myself use a more manly 1" paintbrush
