Yes, the 120mm is on my CPU and the heatsink is an Alpha Pal 8045. I rarely see mid 40s when gaming.Originally posted by: 0roo0roo

1 is a picture of my complete setup including Logitech Elite Keyboard, Freedom 2.4 Joystick, MX700, and z560s, RatPadz GS, Dual Monitors 19" & 17" CRTs and the remote of my Leadtek Winfast 2000xp.
2 is a close up of my monitors
3 and 4 are the insides 120mm goodness!
5 is the front
and of course my desktop
Taken with a crap webcam that came with my Presario 5 years ago!!! YIKES!
Is that a 120mm fan on your CPU heatsink? Wow. And what heatsink is that?
well 120 is kinda overkill u know. it probably doesn't cool any better then a 80mm. kinda like how your 10 foot wide car wouldn't get any wetter if you used a 20 foot wide spray of water compared to a 10 foot wide spray.
Well, in response to the "overkill"...Actually, it isn't overkill. As you said, you are only assuming and I have noticed a nice 4ºC drop from when used my TT SCF2. 4º drop is rather negligable, but the beauty is that I can get 80CFM at 1/2 the dBas as an 80mm can put out. Bigger is better when you are looking for CFM : dBa.

Hmm.. 4C drop in temps and quieter. Nice job. Looks mean too.

Why the heck not?
The front of the system.
The money shot.
Isn't my network gear pretty?
My user interface.
Sorry the pic quality is so low, my camera is very old and needs to be upgraded (810KPixel :Q ).

Hehe!...there should be your right. However, in my defence I have to say I have 2 Hard Drives and 1 CD Rom Drive, 1 DVD Drive, 1 SCSI re-writer and 1 DVD re-writer in a Coolermaster case so u can understand my plight. I cannot bring myself to throw the Plextor SCSI drives out. There isn't really a lot of room in there. And those SCSI ribbon cables are huge...
Question? Why is it that IDE cables have the slave connector the wrong way round for god sake...makes the already untidy layout even more untidy due to having to have longer cables...
I think i'll ask the question in its own thread..lolOriginally posted by: Shagga

Yes, I must admit that I have it easy with only one hard drive, a DVD, and a CDRW. No floppy or pci cards.

Some nice stuff in here! I'll post some pics of my system and some other ones I'm working on when I get home.

Vak...yoom?
I'm a 20 yr. old male living alone with cable internet access. You're going to have to use terms I can comprehend.
Besides, my CPU temp is 38 C. I don't see any reason to ..."clean" ... until it gets up around 60. The video card can fend for itself.

Dust won't cause static because it's moderately hygroscopic. HOWEVER, most dust is considerably radioactive, typically as much as 20x background! (Predominately from Uranium, Thorium and Radium and their associated daughters--the radiation levels are quite harmless unless you like to eat and snort dust!)
Dust (due to its hygroscopic nature) will cake on and even when removed with high pressure gases, leaves a residue that must be removed with a solvent bath. It is therefore much easier to keep the dust out of the case then let it in!
