Mate, that looks like a nice rig! 8)

You mean other then HALF THE PICTURE taking up by two giant cards? Thats easy to spot...They are WAY WAY too huge to be PCI cards.

And the cooler is easy to spot....its Aluminum and Copper, not a standard cooler.....


btw from the pic i could tell you the Ram brand and type, mobo board and type, and even the brand of the gpu's.....I am kind of geeky. But thats how the cookie crumbles.

Its a PCI card that is right below the PCIe slots on typical motherboards....they are smaller and have less bandwidth but have more cards to go in them. So they lose for speed but make up for in versitility.


Oh wait....i think you're being a smartass

nm then

When are you going to finish the cabling? The front USB on your case aren't connected yet.

I didn’t even know the Ram had lights on them, but that’s ok. I thought I would try the on-board sound, but it doesn’t realize I have 6.1. 6.1 seems to be neglected as an option. I’ll have to put my Audigy 2 in and put the crummy Live in this computer, but it pops my speakers and I think the Live card is part of the reason I lost two sets of Megawork speakers, so maybe I won’t use it.

I’m not going to use the front connections. This PC is going to be strictly for games alone and I will run it as lean as I can. Beside the less it runs the better, since I have animal hair floating around.

It was idling at 60+ and I figured 105c wasn’t good. Haha.
I don’t know I push the video card in hard, also try different ATX and it still didn’t work. Switch the cards and it was ok. I was just about to test one at a time, but it work.

Thanks, so far no problem. Well beside the card fan not working. Any other problem has been user error. Trying to network is a real b*tch and that’s where I’m having trouble. One minute one sees it’s self, reboot and it doesn’t’.

I didn’t really search to long or hard and bought stuff that had good reviews. The lights turned out to be a bonus.

This PC doesn’t have the connection in the back for my speakers and I want to use this for playing music. I’ll let windows find the drivers and see if that helps. My game rig will be alright if i use the Audigy 2 card, but nope I don’t want to blow a 3rd set of speakers. Creative labs replace my speakers twice and the second time updated me to 6.1 and gave me an Audigy 2 card. Not bad support, if you ask me.

I have my PC’s on each side of my desk and just click a button to switch to one or the other, so each one will have a purpose. My P4 isn’t a slouch either. It has 1 gig and a 6800 U.

It doesn’t take long to load down a PC with crap. Especially if you like to search, wink. I’ll let my P4 collect the spyware and go where I please, check the mail and stuff. Maybe even test games changes before I apply them to my gaming rig. I made some changes to BF2 alone that turned out to be for the worse. Not really sure how to filter this case. For now I have it off the ground to try and help.

Check out that 14 gauge wire coming off the PSU.

you will have to block the side with some foam or something to block all air that isn't filtered and make sure all your intake fans have filters.

your exhasut doesn't need them.

It would be a small hassle but you would nevber get dust bunnies in your HSF and video cards or anything....so maybe its worth it to you.

How the hell are you here if you know nothing about computers?

You know something you can post

What was his username?

see? I rest my case your honor

oh ok....well his name was AMDcert if it rings a bell

no....this was back in 1999-2003.....just missed us the first time around! lol.

wow....I've been here for THAT long? dude, I'm old! I should be at Forum Geezer by now with the way I post! 8O

yeah, you would have hated me back then....I wasn't this outgoing!

why are they rare?


and did DH pay for your gf with all the whore money he made?

I dont know....some girls are just brash, they arn't outgoing and witty.

I like shy girls, but ones that have a razor sharp wit....so what they do say is hillarious.

you love to stir the pot, i love how you say that right when he comes around....

nobody knows me

maybe one day i will lose my virginity

I am a memeber of the Mile high club....solo aviator division.

maybe someone in here will take pitty on you............don't look at me though, I hate charity.

I think your right and sounds good to me. Now just to find the foam. That’s why I bought an aluminum case, just for it wouldn’t be so heavy to carry down stairs to clean it out.

OR!!!

you could make all your fans intakes with filters and use the giant vents on the outside as exhausts....with enough preasure on the inside those huge holes will have air flow out like crazy.

You want to be in a history book? Thats a random thing to throw out there.
