shadow_chazzer_killer: It's an 8inch sub with a 100watt mosfet amp. I find it's very tight and even put some 10inchers I auditioned to shame in terms of accuracy/extension. Eg. Jbl EP150

Stonez: Yup, I have the duct installed. In fact I noticed that my vidcard temps are 2degrees Celsius lower with it installed. 44 vs 46. Is your Zalman fan blowing air in or sucking air out?

I've had it both ways, but i think at the moment it is blowing air IN. See I had an issue with my xp120. My rear fan is blowing IN and my top fan is blowing out. Unfortunately if i have all my fans blowing out (like their surposed to be) my cpu temps go up about 5c. The only thing i do not like about this case is NO front fan circulation. I have a 100CFM 120mm fan in the front and if you have the dust screen and the fan door closed it gets nixed by about 60-70%. So its only blowing about 30-20 cfms. So my intake air is nil.. Have you had any of these issues?

The stock HSF cools as well as the xp120 i put in there. :(

I'm a picture person, 14one. Pictures distract me :p
Sorry for the inconvenience Soup!

Awesome rig and awesome pictures. Congratulations.

One suggestion: Get some fish tape and put the speaker wires in the walls and then run them along your base boards. Anna will appreciate it! :)

oh wow, just... wow, upgrading from your previous setup to this is a HUGE step up.

Love the whole setup, desk, monitor, speakers, case.

oh by the way, can you send me the waterdrop wallpaper? It's pretty nice!

And I see you still got 350Z fever :p

uber congrats.
Now go buy oblivion and play it.

Wow.....geez!:eek: That's one hella setup soup! Two thumbs up!!!:D

Cool, thanks for the info Stonez. I'm thinking perhaps I can put a Nexus fan in the duct to suck air in for the vidcard. The only thing I'm concerned about is dust. (my house has a furnace and it gets really dusty) Yup, the front panel does block alot of the air flow. Every week I have to clean out the 2 front dust filters and I don't even have fans behind them.:)

Thanks Terry! I had some friends over last weekend and their jaws were on the ground...lol.:D Good, eye...I didn't think anyone would notice the car models on the side. I think I'm moving away from the 350Z and leaning towards the 2006 MX-5 (Miata). Here's a link to the waterdrop wallpaper. (3rd one down) This is a great site for mostly high quality widescreen wallpaper. (Zoob might like it)

Deviant art has some nice diamonds in the rough, if you have time to go through all of them.

Funny that you mention Oblivion. After reading all the opinions on Sharky's and the IGN review, I think I may get it. I didn't really like Morrowind or RPG's but this one looks much improved. I'm just worried that it will bring my system to it's knees. (COD2 and FEAR tax it already at 1600x1200);)

EDIT: Lol...you snuck in there Mikey while I was typing my response.:cool: Thanks! It can't compare to your huge LCD TV setup though.:D

Now that is what you call an upgrade. Gratz Soup :)

nice but the only thing i can suggest is find something to hide the wires nailed to your walls

freaking monitor hottness! me want

I really like it. The panels are a sandwich of thin metal, plastic, metal so there is some some flex. (not really something you want to take to LAN's) It's very solid overall though and weighs quite a bit. There's alot of room for HDD's and the only thing to be concerned about is how long your PS cables are. The 3 included case fans are quite quiet and the case muffles sounds. The only thing is that my AMD X2 stock fan is quite loud.:cool:



I know! I remember seeing your system before buying mine and thinking how close they were. You're using an Enermax 485W noisetaker right? I was going to get one of those! Lol.:)



Thanks! That would make it go OT, so here's the next best thing.(her face on the monitor isn't really washed out) ;)

Soup.Who is the lady on the monitor? Celebrity?

Oh, that's Evangeline Lily from the TV show "Lost". On the 24", she seems life size.;)

Nice Anna poster.

The system ain't half bad, either ;)

Wow that thing looks fantastic! Congrats on the upgrade, and the whole setting up business. It really looks amazing.
