Heres mine now that it got cleaned and rebuilt,I took everything out gave it all a good clean.

Things changed:

• Installed Cold Cathodes
• Added 80mm fan at bottom
• Added DVD-RW drive
• Cable management
• Hooked all fans to Fan controller (Exept Gpu fan)

80% done



Before it was horrible,I couldn't even shut the back panel because there was so many cables, i couldn't compact them in anymore but now ive done it,the door now shuts properly and no cables are in the way :P

I like my PSU but its cables are way too short ,I had to buy a Cpu power extension cable+ 24Pin cable extension too.

4890 has been taken apart,cleaned...re-applied thermal paste and new Thermal pads on the cards Memory and VRM.
I was going to buy a new GPU cooler,But they all have problems cooling the VRMs on the 4890s for some reason,There was one cooler i came across that was okay for the 4890 because you could buy a separete VRM cooler but it was £££ and i was not willing to spend that much.




And the finished product:


I will get an inside shot tommorow :)

CM690?
Same case as what I bought 2 weeks ago. I love it.
I know how you feel about the PSU cables being too short too, I cut mine and soldered some extensions...
It really does look better with black insides... so I think I'll have to get mine painted up too.
I think some pics are overdue... I'l get some up tonight.

Ok, heres some of my latest setup.

My butchered power supply...

...to make the cables longer...

...to reach up the back and over the top...

...so you cant see any here...

...because its all here too...

GPU temp keeps a steady 32C~40C

CPU temp keeps a steady... dont know, the H50 keeps it down anyway...

...3.25 TB of WD storage...


I've still got to do a bit of tidying cables, especially for the harddrives.
And I need to sort out some power to the rest of the fans, and lighting.

Just got a few upgrades. Asus Crosshair IV Formula mobo and 4.0GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3. I will post some pics when I get home from work.

Before I changed my mobo yesterday my H50 kept my CPU down to 27C steady and 38C whilst gaming. Since installing the Crosshair IV Formula I'm getting 33C and 41C

Palit- 9500GT 1024MB/128bit.
Its the bottom one in the list of pics on that site.
Its rather decent for the time being.
But because of the lack of fans on it, I decided to get that little purple/orange twinfans.

The H50 is lovely and quiet. Made a few people go ooh and aah already.
The whole reason I bought a new case was because the radiator is 120mm, and my old case could only hold 80mm fans.

By the way, where could I go to find the CPU temps?
