Oh well, just thought I would point it out to ya.

I really like your Xigmatek fans, I also have a soft spot for the Enermax too!

Looks like your cards about to break in half with the weight of that cooler!!

Glad you like those fans

Before I put the side cover on to the other side where all the billions of cables are, I put a screw in an available hole and hooked one of the pci-e cable extensions over it to keep the GFX card pulled up. Now it's straighter, but verging on bowing the other way a bit. However, the card bowed the same with the stock cooler.

Nice work merlin5 but would look much better with one make of fan and possibly only 1 maybe 2 colours (less is more)

At present it looks just a little like the fan monster has been sick in there.

keeping the fans uniform is a way of adding a basic "theme" to the mod

Haha, yeah, does look a bit like cooling on hallucogenics I suppose. Ok, but I don't know which ones to keep and which to change, I like em all, lol. The blue looks nice, the orange looks nice, the white looks nice, the green looks nice.

Guess I could change to all blue.

If your happy with it mate, which I'm assuming you are, then you don't have to change it.

I only pointed out that they would be making different noises to each other. If it doesn't affect you and you like the way your build looks then power to you!

Yeah, I suppose so, you're right. I'll probably get bored with it in a few weeks, buy some new fans, and get an 'easier on the eye' colour theme and see what you guys think.

Absolutely mate, if you like it you keep it as it is.

Ooh, you're not wrong fella, thanks for pointing it out. I must have nudged it or something. I'll lock that.

I'll guess a Pentax Optio S30 shot at ISO 50 with 1/40sec exposure.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 11 Oct 2009 at 23:43

Some ones got exif viewer installed

Merlin5 · 11 Oct 2009 at 23:59

Yep, well spotted, Pentax Optio S30. Why, is that a pretty good quality picture? I ask because I'm never really sure and I'm trying to do the best quality pics I can in macro mode.

I just took this one this morning, having swapped fans over on the VGA.

Nice pic mrk,

I finally got my comp at home and cables tidy ish. Thinking of changing the side window securing bolts to silver what do you think?

I want that!!!! Think I'll have to spray the inside of my case now, matt black just looks so right...

Is that one of those £60 Corsair watercooling kits in there? I quite fancy one, my current huge CPU cooler blocks off one of my Ram slots, so if I want to go to 8gb, I'll have to either change the cooler or hack this one down a bit.

Hey bud, drop me 1K and its yours

Mind you, im loving this desktop atm its a joy to work/play on.

That is indeed a Corsair H50 Water Cooler. Top bit of kit for cpu cooling I highly recommend one if your upgrading.

i wouldn't have thought they were fab for overclocking though :S

Muel · 12 Oct 2009 at 21:57

Haha, I just spend £670 on my new build, it does me fine thanks! Is that I7 powered though? I'm not an I7 fan.

Why pay more for less ghz?

linktoinsanity · 13 Oct 2009 at 09:24

New Lian Li has arrived and I have now built my computer into it.

Will post up more pictures soon!

Muel · 13 Oct 2009 at 10:14

I love those cases, so sleek and minimalist! Is that an A71 by the way?

Whats the spec? Looks like you know how to spend...
