Those 900's are great to work with. The most recent PC I built was inside of an Antec 900 and it was great!

**emosun** · 08-09-2009, 11:58 PM

Yea the vaio dude. The laptop vaio's are slightly more popular.

Tyrael · 08-10-2009, 12:11 AM

ya my desktop is kinda old =p my friend was going to throw it out....so i took it because my computer was broken at the time so i replaced it with the vaio! =D

Mcninjaguy · 08-10-2009, 12:15 AM

I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate RTM 64 bit off of MSDN. Its nice.

Tyrael · 08-10-2009, 12:32 AM

random...but very nice =D i still havnt decided what OS im going to buy for my upcoming build =/

Mcninjaguy · 08-10-2009, 03:43 AM

Forget Vista, XP is old and won't be supported forever, Windows 7 is nice and very stable. I've been using it since April and its been nice to me.

Tyrael · 08-10-2009, 07:09 PM

ya i want to try it out but i dont have the drivers for my computer so i cant really...

**emosun** · 08-11-2009, 12:29 AM

Neither did I but it still worked anyways , it even installed the display driver by itself.

Tyrael · 08-11-2009, 01:13 AM

ya but when you have to buy it or they start like shutting down your computer ever so often i dont have the drivers to put xp back on my comp

madmatt10583 · 08-17-2009, 12:24 PM

My rig :)

**WereBo** · 08-18-2009, 06:26 AM

Following my PSU going 'Phhutt' (along with some 'phhizzy' noises') a few weeks ago, I replaced it with a new 'Icute' 700W unit. The 'Branded' names were outside my budget, so I'm working on the principle that a 'mid-quality' unit running at tick-over' should last as well as a branded unit being run harder.

It also gave me the opportunity to neaten the spider-web of cables that were originally scattered about - The modular PSU helped lots with that

I also added a 120mm fan to the front of the case, which has dropped the 3 SATA drives by 10C and the general temps by approx 5C, although it took some careful carving of the plastic front panel, to get access to the right-hand mounting screws - Thank goodness for butane gas-powered soldering irons

**emosun** · 08-21-2009, 12:50 AM

Ewwww......

A moth was attracted to my blue neons and crawled in the side panel fan and I watched it explode. no joke. It was like seeing a bird get sucked into a jet engine. lol
