If you can find yourself a VA one on eBay grab it! You can tell by the finish on the screen, matte = generally VA, glossy = generally TN.

The VA version of this panel is IMMENSE. I picked up used 24" VA on eBay a month ago, prestine condition with all extras and box etc - £100!

Thats also very good to hear, was going to look for another 4870 for some cheap crossfireX but if money isnt tight (now i got a job

) might go for a 5870.

Either way my GPU is the next upgrade in my sights

I would wait to see what nvidia has lined up im sure your 4870 will last a few more months

Even if you still want to go for a 5870 the price should drop a lot after the release of the GTX3xx series :cool:

Bought H50-1 at weekend and fitted it into HAF932 i bought off MM last week. I'm well pleased with the end result.

Before

Titan Fenrir in Antec 900

The end result

Much neater wiring in the new case, you must be pleased with the result

Quick question - Why don't the 4870's look the same?

Yep i am for sure, found another 4870 online for around £100 tho so might give crossfire a try while we all wait.

After xmas tho

Bought a Powercolour 4870 (bottom) with reference cooler last year (£190!) and the top 4870 is an XFX4870 bought a few weeks ago from OcUK (£98, what a difference a year makes!). Better looking and slightly better cooling in my opinion.

lol.. where do you put your feet

looking good btw!

Nice set up Marlos. I'd be tempted to stick another cooler on that Q6600 and clock the twangers off it. Should perform really well with those to GPUs in SLi

Thanks for your comment G-Dubs, but i'm not into overclocking.

It's nigh on criminal to have a Q6600 and not clock it :eek:

besides which you're video cards will be bottlenecked by your cpus speed

I changed most of my fans around. Still a bit of a mish mash of fans and colours but slowly improving it.

Replaced stock case fans from side cover and front panel with better cfm fans, removed the blue green fan from vga cooler, and added an ac ryan blue-orange to the cpu. Is it in any way improved from my last pics in terms of colours? Does the xigmatek work colourwise with the others? I've mostly got ac ryan fans now and considering replacing the enermax and xigmatek with ac ryans to at least keep a theme of one fan brand

.....

G-Dubs · 21 Dec 2009 at 11:50

All down to personal taste i think, if you like it then that's what's important.

My own personal taste is for more of a theme, keeping colours to 2 at most, makes things look more professional maybe

I like the look of the Black and orange case fan at the rear and also the ACryan blue and orange of the CPU cooler.

Still looking nice though, you've obviously put a lot of work into it.

Just noticed your RAM appears to be kn adjacent slots, you sure that's right?

A lot ofboards seem to be using adjacent rather than alternating slots recently, his is right (although might be in 2/3 instead of 0/1)
