ZZZAC's a pro photographer featured in many art galleries around the world as well as a fully qualified electronics engineer!

Last time his photos went on auction, someone placed a payment of a broken X-Fi sound card and a working Zosma chip.

Made me laugh

EDIT: Why is the Northbridge heatsink upside down?

im pretty sure its not :L

Wiat: it is, my mistake, it shouldn't make much of a difference though?

So wheres the £600 been spent then?

I see a old stacker, someone was selling an identical one in the MM for a few bucks.

A 8 series motherboard worth about £60 new.

And a £100 ATI 5830.

with 2 36gb raptors
£70 on a icute 850watt, witch i trust wont fail me, when i get my cpu i will prove it worthy!
yeah, greanted the stacker is old, scratched and past gen, but i brought it for its cooling capability and will probably be modding it properly sometime
a 8=1phase 880 motherboard probably worth around £80 new
a saphire 5830 that was £95 new,
a £40 hotswap drive bay and 2 £20 dvd+rw's
EDIT:
cosair ddr3
a akasa nero s hsf
im pretty sure ive covered the most of it, but with that its probably around £500 rather than £600, and with my cpu it will be around £600

waste of money

not when those raptors were only £12 for the pair
and the icute will be proven worthy not matter how many solid caps i have to put in

and thirdly the hot-swap isnt a waste of money when you do as much data transfer as me :L

You know what I meant, C99 was the capacitor 99 right? So to the left of C99 would mean the damage.

oh yeah :L, silly me, im kinda tired atmn and something in my beadroom smells of bread dough :L

It is actually possible to post more than one picture in a post.

i do realise, but i feel its faster to do it bit by bit, + there are only some pictures im using

ZZZAC · 8 Aug 2011 at 23:39

It seems like ZZZAC has another fan-tastic idea up his sleeve...

in stitches, no because the case was mostly a impulse buy i put a cross flow mini fan to help nudge the air towards the exuast fan instead of tthe bottom of the psu :L
