new setup

[cmdrdredd]

I wanted to rebuild my X2 3800+ system so I got a new case to put my C2D setup in. The P180 will be used for my X2. I now have a Thermaltake Tsunami Dream w/ window and Lighting. I think it looks nice. Just wanted to post a quick picture. The only problem i had was the 80mm side intake fan which normally resides on the inside of the side panel. With my Ultra-120 I couldn't use it that way so I mounted the fan on the outside of the case but still blowing in. It works the same either way, but it does look funny at first glance.

too bad the P180 was like an oven and trapped all the heat inside it. I would take off the side panel and temps droped pretty noticably. I didn't care for this. And to tylerdustin, I too had cable management issues with the bottom mounted PSU. I had tio stretch cables up and over the PCI cards and they barely fit. Generally I wanted something that was lighter and easier to move as I have been planning to attend a LAn event at some point. The P180 was heavy 🙂

The exact reasons I ditched MY p180. Its too heavy for LANs and wiring is a b1tch.
