Gota clean up those cables, looks like a spagetti mess in there lol. And are those the older 8800's , the non g92 ones? And also I think your zalman is spose to face back to front not top to bottem. Other than that it looks neat.

reallyxxxxloud · 05-02-2008, 06:10 PM

Yes it does need the wiring cleaned up

Im not sure about the G Cards as I'm getting Data recovery done on the raid0, (lost everything). I'll look when its back. Theres a 7" fan on top sucking, so I thought it was ok to have it facing up with the fan at the bottom blowing heat towards it? Am I incorrect?

emosun · 05-02-2008, 06:18 PM

No , the fan should be blowing air towards the back of the case , out the exaust fan on the back. If those are the old nvidia 8800's, they get really hot , and they run a little slower then the new ones.

on a 900, orientation on the zalman coolers is strictly user preference. The top fan is 100 CFM, the rear is only 45ish. All that matters is that the CPU fan blows the same direction as the case fan it's pointed at. Whichever way it's pointed, it'll still get more than ample airflow across the fins (IMO i think vertical is the better way), even for a QX.

zach_1523 · 05-02-2008, 09:40 PM

well me to i asked a tech and said it would work ??

reallyxxxxloud · 05-02-2008, 09:44 PM

The G Cards are XFX PCI 8800GTX PV-T80F-768E 768MB Does that mean anything to you... Thanks for your input guys...

I paid $2000 AUD for the computer second hand, one year old and got all reciepts as well.

emosun · 05-03-2008, 02:12 AM

Stuff is so expensive in aus i cant believe it. Yea they sound like the gen 1 8800's , oh well they do some good gaming.

I hate how dell makes all the mobo's and cases btx on purpose so you cant use their boards or there cases on anything else. I think there the only ones that use btx.

matthiasvegh · 05-03-2008, 07:51 AM

If anyone wants to see:
RaidMax Smilodon

I love the removable motherboard tray, the way you don't have to remove PCI cards, luvin it:D

Only down side with it, is the noise it makes. Damn it sucks!:D
I'm thinking of getting some Revoltec LED fans, can anyone gimme a comparison to Raidmax fans?

emosun · 05-03-2008, 08:18 PM

I would say go with antec fans.

Any suggestions folks? Im not started yet, just wondered on anyone elses opinion. Since the front lights are blue, I thought a blue/turquoise/green light setup might look good, fyi im on with rerouting wires to tidy that up right now.

OMGwindowssucks · 05-11-2008, 05:02 AM

ok that didnt work....lol how do you post pics?

emosun · 05-11-2008, 05:22 AM
