New Toys!!!

Newegg keeps taking my money and sending the ups man to my door


Logitech G510 Black 18 Function Keys USB Wired Gaming Keyboard

ZALMAN ZM-M300 Black 7 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 2500 dpi Mouse:

I have the G510 also and love it. To me it is like 'what more could you want.' I've had it for about 3 or 4 months and have had no problems. You will love it. I got a G500 10 button mouse to go with it. Both are great. You have to love Logitech. One of the few places you can find very good support.

Looks great Steve, clean wiring job!

Thanks guys, so far I'm liking it. Though I do wish it had a bit more tilt to it, maybe a half inch longer on the adjustable feet. I'll work something out for it though.

Do any of you know where to find some good Applets for the lcd screen?

I'm not sure what to call this. Some new, some from the rig before and a little from the rig before that. Excuse the crappy camera and the mess. I do tend to get messy when I build. I've never learned how to make wiring look nice, but it does look better in person.

here is where I was bench testing and BTW, it isn't an Asrock board. System specs are current.

@Jeepman that keyboard looks ready nice -Almost ready to get a new Monitor and new keyboard mouse but for now i'm just browsing

Steve you've built a kick'n rig. And in my opinion carrying items over from a previous rig is smart and saves money and the planet. Buy quality items once and use them for as long as you can. I'm adding some new items to my rig soon and we both use the H100 cooler. May I ask, are you case air exhausting or fresh air intake on your radiator fans. I've been case exhaust and I'm going to try fresh intake and this will allow cooler temps and me to filter air better.

Alan, I have 4 Nocs on the H 100 in push/pull as intake, and am not getting good results. I figured that outside air has to be cooler than Inside air. Airflow is not my issue. I'm going to try a couple of things and give it some time, but if that does not work am thinking about going back to my NH-D14. Every case fan is intake except the rear 140mm.

Steve, That's interesting I'm currently case air in and hot exhaust out top. I'm going to top air intake and exhaust hot air into case over ram then pull it out with rear fans. I'm hoping to create positive pressure inside the case as well as place another of my homemade magnet filters on top which I can control dust intake even better. I'm not expecting a dramatic reduction but anything will be great and I can even live with the same temps. Odd that you are not happy with the H100, I'll tell you this, my case has been a dust magnet and over the year I've been running the H100 when I finally blew out the radiator I was floored with the dust that was packed into it......floored. We have no pets, but there is medium shag carpet and I like to leave the window by the tower open to bring in cool air. I have developed a delicate touch with the air compressor but I blast the radiator from both sides first holding a fan stopped with anything blunt. We think the air just passes through but it does pack up and collect on the fins.

Thanks Alan. But, that is not my issue. The H100 is one of the new parts I added, so it is brand new. i have air filters on my fans. But it is a trade off. The filters significantly cut down airflow, so it seems you can't win for loosing. I've read several articles and tests where supposedly, positive airflow cuts down on dust because it blows everything out of the rear of the case. I'm just trying to see if that is true. But, outside room air has to be cooler than exhaust air from inside the case, it seems to me. My Noc D14 did a better job than the H100 is doing. YMMV and maybe it is just the set up I have.
