Ok, so this is my first post at this forum. I'm not british or american, so i don't speak/write english fluently, but i'll do my best.

Ok, so after tons of bluescreen, a total wipe of my harddrives and reinstalling Window(n)s i decided to get some new parts for my computer.

Current setup;
- CM HAF932 Big Tower
- Corsair TX750 PSU
- Corsair 4GB DDR2 CL5 800Mhz
- Intel Core Duo2 E8600 @ stock clock
- NorthQ Watercooling kit
- XFX GeForce GTX275 860M
- Crappy piece of shit MSI mobo.
Nothing is clocked.

I have ordered following upgrades:
- XFX nForce 780i SLI
- CM 1000watt PSU
- XFX GeForce GTX275 860M
- Corsair 4GB DDR2 CL5 800Mhz
- 3x 30cm red catodes with inverters
- 2x red Zalman 120mm fans
- 1x black stock Zalman 120mm fan

As you probably understand, i'll end up with GTX275 SLI and 8GB ram.

As for my future computer upgrade, i already bought a mobo.
The mobo is ASUS Rampage II Extreme X58!
The setup for the new one:
- CM HAF932
- ASUS Rampage II Extreme X58
- CM 1000watt PSU
- 2x XFX GeForce GTX275 860M SLI'd
- 8 or 12GB Corsair Dominator 1600Mhz ram
- Intel i7 920 @ 4ghz
- NorthQ Watercooler kit

Ok, now i've wrote enough to bore you like hell, so here's my plans!

- Paint the HAF932 matte black inside
- Cut out the sidepanel and mount plexi/acryl or what ever plastick window is named on english!
- Modify the radiator to the NorthQ kit to have a fan on each side for optimal cooling
- Hide cables as good as possible
- Change the 230mm fan in the side panel with 4x 120mm black Zalman fans
- Zalman fan controller

What i have done so far is switching the fan in the sidepanel and a fan controller.
within 2-3 weeks, the case will most probably be finished, so pay attention


When i get enough money to buy i7 and RAM, i'll use my current setup in an old Fujitsu Siemens case, which i will make as noiseless as possible with 2/3 huge intake fans in the front, and one in the bak, optimize the airflow, and most probably paint the case.
And since it's a requirment for posting a worklog, here's a picture!

Btw, im attending a photography school, and uses Canon 50D w/ 17-40mm f/4L USM for pictures :)

Ok, so i've started to rip the case apart. gonna paint it black inside tomorrow! pic update will come
 
hey man..

frist where u from ??

I have the same case, :D but I can not imagine it changed ...
I just bought it .. you already have it for a long time?? ...
thought about the possibility of painting too ... but I discouraged the amount of fasteners and work that would give me!

waiting for updates !!

ps. not paint it black, choose a color type, white ... blue ... red .. so if you do not change the color of the exterior is black
