Cool set up fella

For some reason I like the little Lian Li build best, didn't think you could fit such a gib graphics card in the case lol

i just had a closer look at that pic and did you have to file down the top fins to get it to fit ? :eek:

Anyone else noticed the machine guns in the room? BB? Real? Are you a terrorist?

i used to have one of those zalman 9500's on my x2 4400 and i got a nice set of about five parallel cuts fitting it also

those things are sharp

yeah they are - had used the more expensive Zalmans before and knew it wouldnt be impossible to get them down to size, so at £13 it seemed like a winner. After 2 hours of wearing them down and two fingers and my thumb on my left hand and three fingers on my right hand in bandages it would finally fit.

Hehe I've got the same Zalman fan on my CPU

Its absolutly huge!

BIGBC · 5 Feb 2010 at 23:36

This one is quite small lol. Compared to the Megahelems its a baby

Essexraptor · 5 Feb 2010 at 23:51

Nice tidy builds!!!

was the OCZ 500w easy to build with? I take it that its "semi modular"?

BIGBC · 6 Feb 2010 at 00:03

Yeah its just like any other PSU in its price bracket really. 24, 4 and 8 pin are all fixed.

Cheers.
