Akasa ambers are much better than stock fans in keeping case cool.

Was testing out then alpha gpu physics, am not under any nda so can blabber on about it, was testing to see if the bridge gave any boost.

Work in progress

I hope it'll get a bit tidier when I've finished. Only one HDD in there at the moment but another two are planned so the their cables are floating about. Similarly the 7600GT with Zalman VF900 is also only temporary as I'll be swapping it with the 8600GT in current no. 1 PC. The rest of it is GA-P35-DS4, Q6600, Ultra 120 Extreme with Scythe 1200, another Scythe 1200 at the back and a 1600 at the front with a 15 ohm resistor to cut it down to 1400. PSU is a Corsair 520.

Nice setup.. Would probably loose the floppy drive, bit redundant nowadays and will keep your cables down to a minimum, again nice rig

I've been fitting floppy drives to PCs for the best part of 20 years so it's a hard habit to break. They're still useful occasionally and don't cost enough to worry about so I'll keep fitting 'em until I move on from XP.

Snapshot is your Eclipse one of the new variations? It looks to have a much more mat based finish to it than mine :confused:

I guess it could just be your camera making it look that way though.

I've tried before but my Parents camera really doesn't do it any justice

It's only a week old so should be whatever's current as I expect OcUK will have a good turnover of them. The front is certainly quite matt, the top is more of a satin finish than gloss and really holds fingerprints well....

Reasteh · 24 Aug 2007 at 21:17

the bottom front fan on my eclipse seems to be giving off quite a bit of heat out the front, is it suppose to be like this :/

C64 · 24 Aug 2007 at 21:26

sounds like you have it on the wrong way

+1

Front sucks it in, back blows it out, that's how it is meant to be.

Reasteh · 24 Aug 2007 at 21:44

the back fan is blowing cold air out though, and the front fan is facing the oposite way to it :/ randomness

They should both be facing towards the back. Like-

Feed it out the back of the mobo tray.Through the round holes

Thats what I did and it hides it completely

lay-z-boy · 24 Aug 2007 at 22:52

Very nice build, you can buy rounded single ended IDE connectors (just 2 not 3 ide connectors) that will work.

Nice build M8.. Definately get yourself an IDE rounded cable, will look much better.
