Now i wait till christmas to get a h70 and a 570 or a 6970 2gb and its complete. Maybe a new case

So there it is

not 100% complete but she runs the games i play purrrrfectly tf2, minecraft, doom 3 and the quake games whilst in on this card, when i get my new stuff ill get stuck in on arma 2, deus ex and all the good stuff

get that bad boy clocked

oh and cable managment invest in some cable ties and spend a couple of hours getting them all hidden and out the way, does wonders for air flow

Will do, waiting for a cooler first, cable management could be worse...
Cable ties on the way monday

TheYoungster · 12 Sep 2011 at 18:59

Nads, my hard drive has packed up. You know those alpha male moments you get when you do something awesome? Just had one of those when i found my old ps3 hard drive and installed windows on it. Like a baws.

TheYoungster · 20 Nov 2011 at 21:10

TheYoungster · 4 Jan 2012 at 23:41

Now i have a 6970 2gb from the members market along with another mm steal a 600t white, another new addition is an antec kuhler 620 (mm again lol) some new fans and a new dvd drive... anyone can guess where from you get a net cookie. Will update it when it is built up again into the 600t.

TheYoungster · 12 Jan 2012 at 15:29

From this:

To this:

All i need now is a SSD and if i can find one another 6970 then im sorted. Thanks to everyone on this forum as without you lot i would never have bothered to build this

TheYoungster · 12 Jan 2012 at 16:55

What about it?

it's a beast, served me well, I think i have only purchased 6 things new for this build

TheYoungster · 12 Jan 2012 at 17:13

Yeah the are both made by asetek(?) i think. I cannot vouch for the same model but it is quiter than the H100 I had briefly. They are also easier to fit too. It is the quitest thing in my case so they are nice and quiet.

looking good mate, how you getting on with the case?

The 600T is a great case, an absolute dream to build in to.

A pleasure to build in, childs play. Easy top plan, install and connect everything up. Top quality indeed!

I currently have the 700w version and it messes with my ethernet port somehow unless it is unplugged and replugged when off. When i posted on the forum for some help someone said that another persons had black smoke come out of it.
Sure you'll be ok though..

Cheers for that, will be keepin an eye on it... like a hawk... my 6970 is in danger D:
