Antec 300 Love in

Thought id post up some pics of my freshly assembled Brand Spanking new Game Killer

Core 2 Quad Q9550
DFI Lan Party DK X48 T2RS
8GB OCZ Platinum DDR2 1066
HIS Radeon HD4870
2x 250Gb Seagate Barracuda (Stripe)
Antec Quattro 1000w
Antec 300 Case

I am adding a better cooler next week probably an OCZ Vendetta (would go for the Vendetta 2 but unsure if it will fit)
I do have a Zalman GV1000 which im going to use to cool the GPU but I need to buy some extra ramsinks and then I'll fit that to the card & when I can afford it adding another 4870 & Crossfiring, then I'll be ready to push this system and see what it can do.

Looks good, similar to what im going to be doing, what fans are those on the front?

XeNoN89 · 16 Sep 2008 at 19:51

Also does it look like a Xigmatek S1283 will fit in there?

ouzodan · 16 Sep 2008 at 20:07

Antec Tri Cool 120mm fans
the Xigmatek will fit in the case easy and its another cooler im definitely considering but with this mobo its tricky because of the Heat sink that Covers Northbridge and all the other gubbins

I think this is the best sub £70 case on the market. Still can't believe it's only £30

That price wont last long the way they are selling.
This case looks so cute whats the airflow like ? what are temps like ?

I just set-up one for my mum for Tetris and photoshop. Temps are very low, airflow is superb and there's no rattling. if it was £59.99 it would still be great.

My mum insisted on blue LED's....bless her

Is there a good vacuum then ? better than the eclipse which I think has 0 vacuum

sunderland · 16 Sep 2008 at 21:00

ouzodan which fan controller is that and do they do it in blue aswell m8,looks nice

ouzodan · 16 Sep 2008 at 21:02

Have to agree Airflow is rediculously good for a £30 case

dont really have any temps to give at hand though sorry

indyskyz · 16 Sep 2008 at 21:04

looks good mate

hows this for temps

all tricools turned to lowest setting
and 2 acryan blackfire4's up front @ nearly 2k rpm
and a slight overclock from 3.2 to 3.6
Gpu is a passively cooled 7600GL

Scythe Kama Meter

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...ti Functional Controller - Black/Silver/White

Comes with 3 facias Silver/Black/White & has a setting to change the colour from
Green
Orange
Red
Light Purple/Pink
Dark Puplre
Light Blue
Dark Blue

So if you can find the fans theres plenty of colour options to pair it up with, Eventually im going to connect the Cpu & 2x Gpu's to it but waiting until I have a bit more money to add after market coolers and all that.

No it looks good. Red would look sweeter though IMO and less the norm.

misterPK · 17 Sep 2008 at 15:08

That's a really nice colour scheme you've got there, the fans, the fan controller and even the mouse all go together perfectly!

That desk is far too clean though.

PK!

BooshFan91 · 17 Sep 2008 at 16:34

XeNoN89 · 17 Sep 2008 at 19:18

Retro-R · 17 Sep 2008 at 19:32
