completed build, need opinions

[StupidFast900]

just finished my build with just about everything i could think to do. started with a compaq off the shelf machine and continued to upgrade and mod untill i was out of ideas. if anyone has some suggestions or ideas please let me know, money is not really an issue within reason (not gonna spend 2000 on some refigerated case)

computer specs:
amd64 3800+
1 gig of cheap ram
lanparty sli-dr
7800GT
600w mad dog psu
2x 160 gig seagates

watercooling:
dangerden TDX cpu block
thermaltake universal vga block
87 camaro heatercore
eheim water pump
3/8 tubing
1/2 fittings on everything

That looks really nice, but I think watercooling tubes always ruin the look of a case. See if you can get any shorter tubing or cut this tubing down.


Apart from that, the only thing I can think of is to paint the bezel for your CD drive black to match the case. It looks good otherwise.

yea pretty clean and looks lik u hav more intakes then exhausts......if you can, i suggest modding the back so it can fit dual 80mm exhaust fans instead of one

looks good! next upgrade might be bump up the ram to 2gigs

great ideas guys! keep them coming as far as the cd drive the grey one is just temporary a friend is borrowin my black burner. it may look like i have more intake the exhaust but my air flow is very odd in the case, the front side and rear 80's are intake, the radiator is all exhaust and there are 3 80's on the powersupply for exhaust. i smoke tested it and had no areas of dead air except the very very top by the optical drives.

Very nice, I agree with bumpin the ram up (max it out_whatever the board will hold)...

Did you paint that case...? It's a good glossy black...

Can't wait to fix up my old system...

Looks good, only things I can comment on really would be the PSU and wire management..If I were you I'd buy a good reliable PSU (I haven't heard of Mad Dog before), I would check out the Antec NeoPower's (the new ones and the 480W).

I disagree... you can see the orange peal effect. You need to get some 1200 grit wet sand paper and sand that baby to a smooth finish and re-apply another coat.
