Top fans are sucking air out through rads. I have a bunch of these http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36_463_92&products_id=1827 on back ordered and should be here this week. They did not have the red ones in stock for some time. The top ones are good enough, I am still looking at the http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=26521 and wonder if I put a spacer behind it to make room for a slide out filter on each 120mm fan slot if it would look and work nice. Good news is I have a dust zapper on my central air unit. So I still have dust but not so that I have to worry for awhile. #11

Can't wait to play some of my games on my Panasonic PT-AE2000. I was gonna sell it after I upgraded my theater room to the new PT-AE4000. But figured it was worth more to me then I would have been able to sell it for. As cool as the 3 lcd monitor setup looks I think 84" will look better. #13

What happened when I used 2 PSU was soon as I would run Windows Experiance index the system would reboot and if I ran 3d Mark vantage there would be clipping and system would reboot on 2nd graphic test. After trying many things to fix this the only thing that worked was dropping back to one PSU. Seems there was not enough cross loading on the 5v rail on the 2nd psu Iwas using it to run the 480's and some ccfl lights. Even after putting all the HDD's on the 2nd PSU still same issue. Once I put entire system on the 1250w all my reboots went away. So now I guess I will order another BI SR-1 480 for the top panel of my case and add it to the GPU loop. #14

Yeah Sledgehammer it was crossloading on the 2nd psu but no matter how many drives and other stuff I added to the GPU PSU it would still reboot. Once I took out the other PSU and ran with just one I was fine. #18

I was playing around with different dye bombs to see if could get a freaky color going. It is Distiled Water and PT nuke. On another note I think I have a real illness (retail therapy) after seeing the temps on Sledgehammers I980 CPU and the fact that I am runing with 1 PSU I pulled the trigger on a EVGA 762 MB and the 980 CPU. I decided I got 4 of these 480 HC why run a 2nd system with just one. So by Friday I will be 4way SLI.. This is the first time I have upgrade a PC twice before it was even finished being built. Wonder if there is a twelve step program for PC Users.. (Hi my name is Sickfreak, I can't stop upgrading!) post edited by sickfreak - 2010/05/26 00:41:58 #20

Then I dragged the projector in here and set it on the 800D case just to get a look see what it will look like when I get the desk in here and mount the projector. Wow I am gonna be so happy. Here is a snapshot of what it will be like. Course this is on the wall and much smaller then it will be by this weekend. post edited by sickfreak - 2010/05/27 01:53:02 Attached Image(s) #26

With the price of the Feser 480 at Frozencpu down to $80, I'm trying to figure out where to put 3 of these Feser 480 radiators. This build of yours gives me some serious thoughts as to what I can do with an MM Extended Ascension. Absolutely insane build and I do love the candy red powdercoat. 2600K @ 4.5ghz 1.35V, Asus P67 Pro, 4gb G.Skill RipJawsX 2133mhz 9-10-9-28, EVGA 580 GTX SC @ 850mhz on air, Corsair AX850, Lian-Li A10 custom anodized all black #30
