pharoah what way is the fan on your psu pointed i was wondering because mine does not show the label when it is in.

**pharoah** · 07-30-2007, 10:18 PM

mine has a single 135mm fan,but a pic is worth 1000 words.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 07-31-2007, 12:01 AM

K mine is like that just wondering lol

**pharoah** · 07-31-2007, 12:41 AM

mine is the 600w,and so far no problems what so ever.the rails are stable,and even after sevral hours of lost planet,or oblivion. the thing is cool to the touch.

**magnethead** · 07-31-2007, 02:04 AM

Pharoah, how are those 2 fans working? Never seen anything even remotely close to them. Also, isee your foopy is still connected, but yet with a round cable??

I just took these pics, as I just removed my floppy and the 6 GB hard drive, and used the empty floppy hole (with solid cover of course) to hide all the extra unused wiring. Actually worked pretty well.

The reason you only see one run of PSU cable is because the other length is coiled (though un-neatly) between the hard drive tray and the bottom of the case, with the SATA adapter and 2 front fans ran to it and that's all. The 2 CD's are on a Y cable to the same PSU dongle, and the top, CPU, and rear fans are on the end dogle of the PSU cable pigtailed to eachother. So really only 4 dongle's are being used, 2 on each. The blue/green side fan runs off the mobo header and a Zalman Fanmate 2 (seen hanging on the vertical desk riser for the top shelf).

I will post new pics when the tri-color CPU fan arrives. So i'll have a quad color PSU fan, a blue and green side fan, and a red/green/blue CPU fan. And the monotone main fans. Not bad colorwise, eh?

**pharoah** · 07-31-2007, 10:55 AM

yup i still have a floppy drive it has an integrated card reader to.the arctic cooling fans are great.move good air,and are reasonably quiet.

Prowsezy · 07-31-2007, 11:44 PM

Pharoah, What VC do you run on?

**magnethead** · 08-01-2007, 12:20 AM

also, pharoah, is that the antec dual slot fan? If so, i have the same one in mine.

**pharoah** · 08-01-2007, 12:38 AM

if you are talking about the pci slot cooler.then no its a single slot,but does have an 80mm fan in it.

Prowsezy · 08-01-2007, 01:57 AM

Are pci slot coolers worth buying?

HawMan · 08-01-2007, 03:27 AM

Yes they are, For the price they are brilliant, i have an Akasa one and its great.

Prowsezy · 08-01-2007, 03:44 AM

Do they also cool down the case or just the Video card.

well if you put it under the card like mine, it cools the card and the case....if you stick it away from the card, it only does the case. I've got a 120 aimed straight at the card and the slot fan under it so i'm completely covered in graphics cooling.

and whiole it's directly cooling the gfx card because it's pulling the hot air straight off it, it is only indirectly cooling the case by exhausting more hot air.

**magnethead** · 08-02-2007, 12:05 AM

pics with the new CPU fan-

**pharoah** · 08-02-2007, 02:53 PM

that machine looks cool magnethead.some people overdo it with different light colors,but your's go together nicely.

**magnethead** · 08-02-2007, 03:03 PM

well the case came with blue, my power supply i already had has the 4 colors, the yellow isn't even visible, i didnt want any more blue for main fans, but an all green would be out of place, so that one made sense, and got the tri-tone CPU fan to match the PSU. So yea, it kinda planned out to match itself.

**TheMatt** · 08-04-2007, 05:33 PM

Finally, here are the pics:

Dumb flash... I tried with the flash off but it came out blurry...

Dual Monitor setup I have with an old CRT. Can you tell what song is selected in WMP?

Good overall inside shot.

Still image of an LED fan while its moving.

The lonely hard disk.

I chose a dual slotted 8600GTS for better cooling and then put one of the slot coolers below. Woks great.

The silencer black goes great with the case. That 90mm fan was also moving when I shot the pic.

Like my cable management?
