i didnt do it, honest

Looks like its all coming together nicely. Where do you live if you don't mind me asking, you look semi- familiar?

 

[Darren1987]

hmm the armour looks better in black i have mine in silver.

I was tempted to get the watercooling kit seperate as they didnt have the full pre-installed case available. Plus i heard it's not very good for a w/c kit..

 

[Le_Petit_Lapin]

Oooh....thats a nice case.

Thermaltake cases look reasonable on the outside, but the insides always look a bit naff and flimsy, is it steel?

Good job on the radiator by the way. How have you secured it?

 

[geezy]

it came secured mate.

where do i live? south london, originally from manchester though.

On July 22nd, quad-core prices are coming down... so maybe consider getting a quad-core processor instead?

That's what I was thinking With maybe an e2160 for the moment, then swap to quad when the prices drop

Otherwise, nice project, keep up the good work.

 

[ChoÞÞer]

oo very nice case .. keep us updated mate

 

[geezy]

i have set myself a limit of £250 a month, so unfortunately i think a QUAD CORE even with the price drops would eat up too much of one months....

Just over half - I would say it was worth it.

well the insides in the armour are good at least. with tool-less installation etc
