Are the photos upside down, or is it just your case? It makes me dizzy :P

Looking good though, what are the specs on it?

Have i been stripped of my youngest aria member title? :P

I've always looked at that case, is it silent and cool?

Dude, your wallpaper.


I always see foam as insulating a case and heating it up, I like noise and airflow :D

the photos are not upside down its just the way the case looks (odd i know)

the specs are:

cpu - Q6600
GPU - ati 4850
ram - 4gb worth of ocz 800mhz (4x1gb)
hdd - 2x western digital 500gb drives in raid 0
mobo - gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R

as for the heat and sound i pushed the Q6600 to 3ghz and stress tested and the max heat was 59c with it staying around 55c, day to day running at this speed is around 40c the same as half load on stock

the sound though you can still hear the thing but it is not as loud as most

as for the wall paper, it got put up about 10-11 years ago with i was 12 :)

what case is that?

loving the side mounted HDD's next to the PSU!

also is it the nexus with PWM speed control or the standard Nexus 120's in there?

you got it wrong coiler the heat sink is a artic cooling frezeer 7 pro

the case is http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Cases/MIDI+Tower/Nexus+Caterpillar+-+Silenced+ATX+case+?productId=28763

i think its a good set-up but if i worked it out properly and waited a bit i could of got a better one
