  • A minor upgrade.

    From TG got these three little goodies. Shipment is out and they should be here in a couple days.

    Aspire X-Qpack , Zalman VF700-Cu LED , Zalman CNPS7000B-CU LED

    Once they get here I'm gonna pick up a mATX mb from oemexpress and transfer components. prolly gonna get an ASUS A8N-VM CSM but I'm open to suggestions if you know of a better motherboard.

        Everything except the gpu fan fit nicely.

        The top of the gpu fan is higher that the top of the case bracket. It's not something that matters on a desktop rig. Issue here is you gotta install the card before sliding the mobo tray in.

        I got around the issue by pushing down on the mobo tray and pulling up on that part of the case. Plus a little wiggling and straitening bent fins

        For sound the fans are not in quiet mode.it's not quiet but it's not loud. Airflow feels pretty significant; I can feel the suction of air ,,,<=';'=>,,, around the front edges. The air output in the back is also significant.

        Looks great in the dark. Took some pics but I'm having issues with the os. I don't think the software part is gonna be done tonight... It's freezing at the same place in win setup

        Update soon.

          For a long time I was thinking of possibly building a mATX machine, great for LAN parties etc, but as I'm getting older (relatively - I'm still one of the youngest on the forums ) I am attending/hosting less and less of them.

            all the OSes i had installed on the machine barfed on the new mobo. I managed to re-install windows xp with minimal applications late last night but it looks like i need to nuke and pave it again.

            should be an interesting weekend.
