My first ever PC

Very nice, i've got almost the same build as you, got the case now it looks sweet! just a question for you though as many people said dont bother with a floppy drive, did you have to use it for any drivers or anything? loving the blue glow you got going there!

Hi Ash, looks nice! :)

Just a small point, how come your heatsink is facing upwards? I am using the same one and have it pointing towards the back of the case, are you aiming yours upwards for any particular reason?

upward?
how do you mean?

thats the only way it will bolt onto the mobo


Cheers for the comments everyone... and yes I do like blue lights :p

Hi,
I mean its kinda facing the wrong way! :)

I'm pretty sure you can choose which angle you want it facing, kinda get the feeling it's best blowing towards the back of the case. We got very similar systems, I got a blue LED fetish also lol! :p

Thats a diff mobo than mine, it only mounts that one way on mine :p
 
Ash1982 If you want to contiue your blue fetish.......



I copied another member and stuck a 120mm LED in the drive bay / changed
the front fan to LED and my favorite bit the LCD fan controller :D .

Made a cover from car repair mesh from Halford's and sprayed it black - you
can also buy a ready made cover to fit it but it comes with a rubbish fan.

Another tip is to cover your side mesh with perspex or as I did the clear
plastic covers that get used to cover presentations etc.

Your temps will increase but it does cut down the dust.

If your overclocking leave the door open a bit as I dont think they are the
best cases in the world for airflow.

Also if the LED on the door annoys you can unscew the door and move the
LED further inside the panel.

Hope this gives you a few ideas.

Nice set up btw...
