Ive been running this mod for well over a month and there isnt much dust build up yet, I should mention i keep my apartment clean and i dont own animals which helps.
I modded the case myself, Using my eye for measurements and a dremel tool. The black molding around the cut i puchased at a...
No i dont think ill need a new case when i upgrade, Dworley upgraded his 8800gts to a GTX and didnt even need a bigger cut to fit it.
*Edit* I think i stock cooler 8800GTX looks to fit fine, however a 8800GTX KO ACS Cooler card probably wont.
This is my first Shuttle computer, a SG33G5 and i gotta tell you i love it!
Currently my E6300 is OC'd to 3.0 stable with G.skill ram running at a stable 1075.
CPU idle temp is around 30 normally and 53-55 Orthos full load, 16 hour stable.
Video card is a EVGA 8800gts KO ACS edition...
I will not have a spare bay for the fatality piece, And i wont be hooking up the front connectors to the soundcard.
So since i wont be using those will the X-fi music still be better than the Gamer?
And what amp to use with the DT 770 Pro's?
Music: Rock music, Think Tool here for reference.
Games: First person shooter primary, Im looking forward to UT2007,Crysis, Team fortres2 etc. The rare RPG,MMO.
I love bass, The more that better.
Ive always had picky ears and i could tell the difference in sound quality, But only now is...
Hi all.
Im looking to put together a headphone set-up that will be used primarily for gaming.
I am interested in the best sound that i can get on a budget of around 4-500 dollars max
and thats only if it is must have parts.
I will not be spending that whole amount at one time so I need...
i really like the G5 case, imo its the best looking shuttle made. The VFD is a nice touch but i cant get past the gold trim. "shiver"
However i am seriously considering the normal G33 G5 :)
Hi im about to purchase one of the new G33G5 shuttles. Dworley did your PSU run fine with the GTS in there? I have a gts and i am planning on running that till i get a better card down the line.
Also are you interested in the new G33 Shuttles? whats your opinion on them?
Thanks.
Hmmm. Nice constructive post. :p
Ive run the top fans on intake and exhaust, My temps are better exhausting. Also those "haha sharpie" screws were replaced recently as they were only in there till i got the ones i wanted (lowes was out of stock). Thanks.
GD if that isnt the truth, i feel the exact same way. The original eq that i first played late 1999 is still my most cherised PC game memories. The human players and all that adventure and world to see, I remember seeing it for the first time and realized it was a living breathing world and i...
"I think it would be possible to mount the rad on the top too but you would lose at least the 1-2 PCI slots and a 5.25" bay."
I think someone willing can do it up top. Yes you will loose 5.25 and some pci, it would also be some interesting tube managment.
Heres a reference shot.
This...
Lol dont know what to say! :D
Here is a few more, I'll be adding water and its my first time so im starting small. Enjoy!
My d-tek db-1 pump is on the way
I'll be rigging this up to monitor and controll fans in the case and rad
This is a test fit nothing connected, im...
Cleaned up the wiring in my A05 a bit, switched PS to my Silverstone 750 model ( love the black color!) and will be adding Watercooling soon. Enjoy!

Ive not seen the BS-03 but performancepc sells the BS-01 that bolts to the A05 vent.
On a side note, Has anyone seen a retailer that has the Zalman ZM-MFC2 in stock? I need one for the next phase of my A05 build :)
At one point i took mine out. I have the nexus drive bay part for the harddrives, However i put the rack back in untill i can figure out better cable management.
I did it using my dremel. I used a big "L" shaped metal ruler taped to the case to aid in making straight cuts then used a file to clean up, Worked out great. I didnt have access to a digi cam during the process, so no work log :(
