Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 That system is sexy, but the case is godawful. In my hands, that machine would probably last me a good 6-7 years so I'd say it's a good bet.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted November 7, 2004 Author Report Posted November 7, 2004 WHAT?! You don't like the case?!
MrRant Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 The case is homosexual. Get the Demon one and pretend you are a Republican.
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 or buy a simple white or beige one and art it up yourself.
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Once saw an amd 1700 clocked to more than double speed operating at -172 degree's fh. Damned worthwhile usage I'd say.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted November 7, 2004 Author Report Posted November 7, 2004 I probably should've mentioned that I'm on a $1,500 budget, thus ruling out the water cooling system. And Rant, link me to this potential case.

Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted November 7, 2004 Author Report Posted November 7, 2004 How big of a power supply would you reccomend with my system? The other one came with a 420 watt supply, which I wasn't sure would be enough in the first place.
MrRant Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Power Supply - http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-163-018&depa=1 Edit: This one is 580 Watts. MORE than enough.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted November 7, 2004 Author Report Posted November 7, 2004 Looks sweet.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted November 7, 2004 Author Report Posted November 7, 2004 Just saw that case only has three fans with it. How many would you reccomend I purchase? (obviously, with that case, I'd have to be a little geek and get red LED fans, but I'm more concerned with cooling than aesthetics at this point)
MrRant Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Start with three and see what the temps are running. Make sure you get some Artic Silver on the processor and a good fan for the processor itself and you should be good.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted November 7, 2004 Author Report Posted November 7, 2004 Excellent, thanks for the help.
MrRant Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 I expect my $50 consulting fee in the mail.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted November 7, 2004 Author Report Posted November 7, 2004 Do you accept IOU's?
MrRant Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 You better pay up or I get to tape myself giving a moneyshot to your woman.
