New PC Case.

fbm211

I swapped cases today.The new NZXT case is a little smaller than the other but everything fit better.

Some of you didnt like the transformer look it has but I do and wait till the two Blue Coolmax 140mm UV Crystal LED Cooling Fans arrive for the top.Gotta get some UV reactive fan filters for the top too.I installed a zalman 120mm front intake that I had in my pc parts box to halp keep the three HDDs cool.These are installed sideways:cool:..And the PS in on the bottom.

I have the blue zalman copper cpu cooler and the window fan is blue so I think I'll go with green fan filters and a red neon inner case light, but not too bright though.
I seem to be still having some cpu thermal problems.One core was getting up to 125F idle:eek: and it used to be 120F --max under load.

I removed to cooler and cleaned it off good and used some thermal grease (zalman) and its still getting up around the same temps.I was out of artic silver so I think its time to order more and reseat the cooler again when I get it.:D

Nice install. Pull those cables back as much as possible and it will look very trick.

Good idea, I got the Thermaltake Silent 1156 CPU Cooler fdrom Fry's, was the best way to make my PC quiet. CPU I'm running is an old AMD x4400, works with the latest i7 intel chip though.

Cool .
Im currently buying upgrades here and there so its ready for the i7 upgrade.That will require a more robust PS and i7 cpu DDR3 memory and the MOBO and Im currently taking a hard look at the new MSI-Big Bang XPower LGA 1366 X58 board.This MOBO is awsome.
