New build complete!
Here it is. I tried to keep it neat inside. The HDD has a 80mm fan in the front of the slot. There's another intake fan on the front and you can see the two 80mm exhaust fans in the rear. The PS has two fans and the CPU is cooled with the Thermaltake with the copper heat sink. The mobo i845PE chip also has it's own fan. Needless to say heat is not a problem. Everything is working great and it's very fast and smooth in all the games I've played. Notice the two yellow recepts. at the bottom of the mobo. They are for front USB 2.0. The Antec case didn't come with that type of connector. I've had to improvise and haven't yet actually tried the front plugs yet for fear it may screw up whatever I plug into it. I don't have the DVD/ROM yet. I may hold off for a DVD-RW. Comments are welcomed.
BTW, told my wife that it was so much fun that I wanted to build another one. That didn't go over too well. lol

I say it looks pretty darn nice. I wish the computers people bring to me were that organized.
How is the noise with all the fans? I've got one here that is pretty noisy but I am thinking of replacing the fans with something along the lines of the Vantec Stealths. |

Thanks for the (I wasn't fishin') compliments. smile.
Yes, it is louder than I expected it to be. The CPU HSF is three speed and I keep it on low due to the noise. The board averages about 25c as does the CPU. The PS about 27c. Thats right now while I'm online. It probably rises while gaming. Maybe I can help a friend with a build just for the fun of it. |

Those temps are great. I do know what you mean though, The first truely good overclocker I built I used the baddest fans I could and as many as I could fit. It was really cool but you could hear it anywhere in the house. I still have it but I get dirty looks when I fire it up!
