Haha,thanxs, she isn't bending like that for some sick purpose...that was especially designed and chosen by scientists from around the world,the idea was to create an idol that would better the way cable management is done. And such is the purpose of this figure,trough the legs go the on hdd's wire...trough the arms and breasts goes the second,over the arched back goes the 3rd...its a brilliant design and very complicated...

I went to this pc convention Yesterday with the idea of getting a 3d screen...and one thing led to another and now i still don't have a screen,but i do have a new pc(xcept gfx,but i luv my card)

Very nice.

Any pictures? I want to see what that Kandalf of yours looks like.

Thank you, and here are some pics,it's a pretty basic looking rigbut i like it and it does the job well.

Lol, Pretty basic looking rig? Looks more than basic to me!!

Looks sweet bud

A humble little system upgrade....

I wanted to upgrade my Sapphire Radeon HD 4830 graphics card in my humble Q6600 3.0 GHz mini-tower box.

Of course that meant I needed a new PSU.....

Then I scored a deal on an MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC...

After getting the MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC card I stuffed it and the new Rosewill HIVE-650 PSU into my minitower case to check it out. I quickly realized the mini-tower case was not going to cut it. Temperatures and fan noise were way to high.

So I transplanted my system from the overstuffed mini-tower case to a new budget mid-tower case (Rosewill Smart One). Everything moved over well but I had to fuss with the cable management a bit before I was satisfied.

With the old case the GPU/CPU:

Idle/Normal Usage Stock Settings: GPU/CPU Temps 40c/50c.
Unigine Heaven Benchmark (90 minute run) 860 MHz Core: GPU/CPU Temps 75c/70c.

The numbers made me uneasy.

New Case/Configuration are:

Idle/Normal Usage (stock GPU settings):

Core/Shader/Memory MHz: 770/1540/2000 VID: .912/.987 (+0)
Temps - GPU: 35c Highest CPU Core: 40c
Fans: GPU 1650 RPM (42%) CPU: 1040 RPM Top: 962 RPM

Unigine Heaven Benchmark (90 minutes - stable)

Core/Shader/Memory MHz: 870/1740/2000 VID: 1.062 (+75)
Temps - GPU: 63c Highest CPU Core: 59c
Fans: GPU: 3360 RPM (63%) CPU: 1298 RPM Top: 1097 RPM

I am pretty well pleased with the improvements. I did not want to break my new toy, at least not right away.
This card continues to surprise me. For my budget, I could not be happier!

I am still tweaking the TFIII and case configuration....

The BEFORE Picture - there is only so much %#$@ you can stuff into a minitower

What's cable management?

The AFTER Picture - MUCH BETTER!

Fussing over the cable management took far longer than transferring the components.

Looks great Muad, good work!
