That was my previous case!
Here's my current machine, Maximilian - still a work in progress.
-> I would prefer the green crap be red, but this was the easiest stuff to get to start with.
-> Ignore most of the innards, they will be replaced in a couple of months.
-> mATX because it previously had to fit into the Mini P180.
-> herp derp RAID0 60gb Vertex2s.
Was planning on updating to 2xGF460s, but then AMD had to go and ruin that idea by releasing a new set of fucking ace 68xx cards and promising more later. Then nVidia chimed in, so now I'm stuck in a holding pattern until the dust settles.
By contrast, here's Han's machine, and a shot of her desk for size comparison:
Pretty big size difference, no?
clockworkjames:
I guess even though size is going to be the limiting factor you can push the boundaries to the limit, I googled that mobo and just... wow, cannot help but think "toasty and noisy".
My pc looks pretty but simple and 2 things piss me off about it.
PSU cable for second gfx card are in my dads loft, so cannot get them just now, making do with a crappy molex*2 connector, this will change when I get a 460, the other thing is the stupid stock hsf.
Included pics of 2 cans on the air penetrators to show how big 180 is relative to something other than the case, they HUEG.
Decided to go with hotswap adaptors for all the drives, just to make it look pretty and simple not because I intend to actually use the functionality.
I struggled to think when I last used an optical drive so... omitted.
est:
Yeah same. I have a drive I used for installs, but it's always only a temp attach. Afterward it is removed and I mostly don't miss it.
Nodaisho:
I love giant fans. I got one in my new power supply (120mm, takes up the entire bottom of the power supply). I can tell when the computer isn't using much power because the fan slows down and shuts down with the stereotypical power-off sound.
clockworkjames:
I like what they do, but I would not have bought them if they did not come with the case, £15 is far too much to spend on something just to move air about your case.
