Two graphics cards are better than one because I can put one in my main rig and one in my backup rig so I can play with my broke ass friends who can't afford pc gaming.

Because I'm too broke and cheap to pay full price for items.

Counter Strike Battlefield Bad Company 2

I'm in if it doesn't work out for Devil24.

In if its not to late!

I do plan on playing older games like Original Half life series and Max Payne as well as newer games like COD4 stuff based on the source engine and both FarCry's.

I haven't really been in the know with computers lately and never have been when it comes to monitors. That said I would like to get a 20" or 22" monitor now and add a second one in a couple of months. I heard from a friend not to go with a 22" because it stretches the image to make it fit the...

That is by far the realest looking Carbon vinyl I have ever seen. Amazing job you've done there.

If the side fan was a problem you could pull it out easily as it's held on by four thumb screws.

If you need room for a lot of hard drives the A16 would probably suit you well but it cost more then the A05 and other mentioned. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112132

Moved one of my computers to the garage for miscellaneous use so I don't have to run in and out all the time when I'm working and need to look something up. This is what it looked like before http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1030605301&postcount=62

Looking forward to seeing the finish on this case. I thought about making a case with titanium panels until I looked at the cost of sheet titanium :D

I would go for the Mountain mods case. It costs a little more but by the time you mod the Lian Li and go through the troubles it is probably worth the price difference not to mention MM cases are built very solid.

I would go for some Cloverton's or if price does not allow put just one in and upgrade later. Get some quality ram, I tend to lean toward crucial for such applications. Great price and quality. A Silverstone PSU 850watt and up. Lastly get him some nice HDD's for his space needs, I'm guessing it...

The Asus 570 SLI is $130 at newegg and $100 for the non SLI. I own the Tforce 550 and it is a good board, especially for the money. I would definitely go for the eVGA at that price as it is essentially a Foxconn board. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131013...

I got the Rad all wire up and ready to go. I will make some extenders to hook the fans up to the Fanbus. The painting is coming along well but I am quickly learning about runs. Edit: Do you guys think I should paint the rad flat black or white or just leave it as it is? Tim

Although I think the P182SE is a bit over priced it is about time that the inside of a case came painted/anodized. It is ridiculous to pay over $200 for a case and it not to be painted inside and out.

Its a 188cc Powroll engine based off of a Honda block. All air cooled and puts out around 40hp on methanol. Our little 188cc ran with the big 230cc-250cc guys as we had some stuff done different internally. They hit about 65mph tops on a 1/20mile track, easily could have gone over 100 had we...

No problem on the OT. I used to race Quarter Midgets. In the pictures below are some of the car and some of the motor. The car wasn't too pretty but thats ok as I am a big kid and we needed to keep weight down in order to compete, and it worked :D...

Thanks Shakko. I will try and get some more done on it today but there isn't a whole lot I can get done until the weather is satisfactory for painting. Hopefully I can make it to the store and get some new tools I need.

Well yet again weather is keeping me from having good days for painting so I did some other kind of work on the case today. I didn't want to hack at the case anymore so I decided to put the cold cathode switch as part of the fan bus. Tomorrow I will get a little file and I'll mock fit her...

I guess it just seems bad when you scroll down to what seems like an endless thread of screenies. It is worth the scroll though as you are very knowledgeable and give tips and hints on everything.

I am guessing you would notice a drop in a few Degree's but to be exact I am unsure.

The Tuniq Tower 120, ThermalRight Ultra 120 and Noctua are all great coolers but around $50 iirc. Petra's has the Scythe Ninja or something on sale for $36, the only downside I see to that cooler is the stupid clip mounting.

The striker is definitely a solid board but I don't know that it is worth all the extra money over the P5N32-E SLI. If you go with one of those two boards you will be happy either way.

You bring a new meaning to the words "56k beware" I have cable and often dread going in your . Nice timings for the speed you are running them at to.

I am sure you will be pleased with the board. IT runs nice and solid just doesn't like running memory at 1t. Also being that you don't like noise you may want to look into switching out the chipset cooler.

You would probably notice only a minimal difference if anything at all. More phases usually shows benefits in really high end oc'ing not the average stuff.

If you do not have a problem running a 680i based board the P5N32-E SLI appears to be promising. My friend has had 4x1gigs of high end ram running at 3-3-3 405mhz single 32m stable. He says it is in 1t but atm we are not sure if the mobo is stating 1t and actaully running 2t.

If you want the best HSF out go for the Tuniq Tower 120.

The source where I got the information from said the Gigabyte board may be released around mid march. Twelve phase power is nice as it should provide cleaner/more efficient power to the cpu. Lastly for ram what you have selected will run in either board. I have ddr2 667 ram in a ddr2 800 mobo...

I would go with the following: Either the E6400 or E6600 depending on how much you want to spend Asus P5N32-E SLI unless evga is significantly cheaper 8800GTX with brand of choice 2x1024gb of ram with brand of choice The E6600 is better if you are shooting for more of a 3.8gig overclock...

The gigabyte with its 12 phase power does look promising but who knows hoe much it will cost. http://www.ocxtreme.org/forumenus/showthread.php?t=10 For boards that are currently out the Asus P5N32-E SLI is your best bet. Also if you have a quadcore processor many have had troubles with them...

I think the 975X will treat you better in the long run if you have no plans of going SLI as it is a faster chipset.

Do you plan on oc'ing and are you looking at 4x1gb or 2x2gb? The reason I ask is because you could up the CPU now and throw in an extra 2gigs later. I wouldn't wait for R600 (never know when it will actually come out) but 8900 may be worth waiting for. From the post above I would say wait a...

The 900 can also be a pita to make tidy, it can be done with lots and lots of effort though. The Lian Li should be easy to tuck the extra wires out of the way near the top and should be relatively easy to route wires cleanly.

It has been a while since I have posted an update. First I didn't have anymore money to fund this project so it got put on the back burner but more recently this wonderful pacific northwest weather has made finding an opportunity to paint near impossible. It is either too cold or there is far...

It is a shame. I know someone in Taiwan with one of those and they are just amazing cases. Thought about importing a case from them at one time but funding was not their. Back On topic it looks like you are back down to Silverstone or Lian Li as no one else is on par with them.

I believe you are thinking of Soldam
