Here is the pic of the case I got now and besides the Allied psu it has a 120mm fan in the front bottom sucking air in. Thats 4x 80mm fans and 1x 120mm fan total and with the stock hsf I idle 32c in the summer depending on room temps and as low as 22c in during winter depending on room temp, avg in winter was 26-29c thou. Not much of a case but I like it and the paint is very nice imho.

Damn, son.
I wish I was rolling with a rig that nice at 14. Actually, I think I was a little older than that when I got my Pentium3 box with my Voodoo5, so I actually can't complain. Congrats man.NEVERLIFT said:You eat good right

The build mentioned here is very similar to what I'm planning on getting very soon myself (only a single WD Raptor 74 for a HD though). I had been thinking of getting an Enermax Noisetaker 485w PSU, however. I see everyone saying PCP&C is one of the best. Here's my question, how do their PSUs rank against the Noisetaker? I'm interested in a quiet PSU, and I like the detachable cables on the Noisetaker. I've seen a lot of good reviews of it, which is why I was planning on buying it.

Hey I have a meaningless question to ask.
What do you guys think would be the coolest cable sleeve color combo for the psu?
Main cables:
UV Blue
Black with Yellow or Red Tracer
Mobo:
Stainless steel Reflex mobo sleeving
UV Blue
Molex connects:
UV Blue
UV Green
UV Yellow
(black heatshrink)
All other cables will be uv blue (round cables, cathode cables)
Let me know your opinions

i personally think all brushed aluminum, some polished copper and blue lighting would look EXTREMELY cool, even though i'm more about performance than looks
i think you're onto the right track though

Lol, no there isn't any brushed Al sleeving. Just do the sleeves in UV Blue.
And, btw guys, I'm 15, and I have 3 computers in the same room. Got my first one of my own about 5 years ago. That makes me 10 when I had my first very own computer a spit away from my bed.

Hell, so did I. Nothing new there. Only I also watched and learned about the Nazis on the History Channel (I love that channel).
cool setup... built my 2nd rig when i was in 9th grade and that was top shit back in fall 2000. wish my main rig was a A64 but im getting ready for college and the air national guard is only paying me $1000 every 2 weeks starting out but im saving that for swaping a honda H22 VTEC motor with internals and turbo into my 1st gen 86 acura integra. can we say sleeper

No but I can say rice! And for less than half what you spending I can take a stock 87-93' mustang or a 98' LS1 camaro and smoke it. Now if you push over 24psi of boost you might can hang with these v8's

egh... off topic...
but why would you call swapping in an h22 engine with engine modifications rice? its a nice engine man. and if you do forced induction, dont forget about lowering the compression ratio. and lets not get into the 4 cyl small displacement vs 6/8 with larger displacements again...

Since you asked why I guess I can hijack the thread for a second and tell you why. First let me say anything you do to that 4banger you can do to a V8, and the V8 has more power and tons more torque and the V8 costs alot less money to build. The Ford 302/289 and the Chevy 350/LS1 have a huge aftermarket behind them. So you spend more on that little compact car and the 4banger if you like. Second the 98' LS1 Camaro's run low 13's in the 1/4 mile stock and with some slicks and good drivers and uncapped exhaust will run mid 12's. And for less than $3k in the motor and suspension you can run 10sec all day long if you want. As for the 87-93' Mustang the same goes for them and the 99" newer Mustangs are nice to but cost more and I wont even mention the Z06 Vett or the Cobra Mustang.
A younge friend of mine has 98' Acura Integra (overpriced civic imho) The poor guy bought a T3/T4 hybrid turbo kit from Turbonetics for almost $5k and had Intune Motor Sports install it and dial it in on the dyno, he was not even making 100hp to wheels to begin with on the dyno, and after the turbo was barely making over 160hp at 8psi and was pinging bad if he did not have good gas in it with some octane boost... now for reference my 91' Mustang was making 220hp on just the motor alone and I made double the torque he made. I paid $3k for my car cash and my friend paid over $5k for his and not to mention the turbo... now I have some mods done to my car, Trickflow Twisted-wedge heads, BBK 80mm throttlebody and BBK Longtube headers and Edelbrock intake with MSD ignition and a Comp cams Xtreme cam and last but not least I have a S-trim Vortec supercharger pushing 9psi. Before all these mods my Mustang was a high 8sec/low 9sec car in the 1/8 mile with tire spin in 1st and 2nd gear. With all the mods my Mustang runs the 1/8 mile in 7.2sec @ over 130mph (I paid under $6k for all my mods)
My friends Integra barely ran a 17sec in the 1/8 and after the turbo it ran a 15sec something. As it stands now my car makes over 375hp to rear wheels and his car barely makes 175hp, I have under $10k in my car and he has over $13k in his car. His car is slow and now for the bad news, my car is still running good and has no problems, his car had a new clutch put in it right after the turbo... then he blew head gasket and had that fixed... then he burned a hole in the piston trying to run more boost, over 20psi I heard, and thats on a stock motor and so he bought a new/used motor froma shop and had it put in and all his stuff switched to it and it ran worse and was never really tunned or dialed in right and so now he wont spend any more money on the car and it just sits and he is looking to buy a 98' or newer TA with a LS1. He learned the hard way. Now if you have the money you can make anything fast, but in the end them little rice compact cars not cool and look like shit imho and are for driving back and forth to work in. When you pull up at a club or a car meet and you in a civic... well trust me the porsche, vett and the viper will get the looks and that 69' roadrunner with a 426 hemi will smoke them all in a straight line

Right on. We got our first color TV when I was in high school also. And my mother drove a 1976 Ford LTD and this was in the 1986. I bet my mom in her LTD with a 400 V8 could beat your mom in her Pinto

Now thats a sleeper
Them 351 Clevelands and 400 Modifiied had some very good cylinder heads with some huge ports and valves.
The 302 Boss motor was just a 302 with some 351 Cleveland 4v heads and special intake and special cam with headers.
my mom's pinto would kick your ass.It might have had a small engine but it had absolutely no sheet metal or bumpers so it flew..............HaHahhhhhh. sorry way off topic but thatPinto was such a piece of shit it is funny to think about now. Man that thing basically self-destructed in about three years. the rear bumper actually fell off one day...and my parents bought it new....talk about RMA!

Its fun to poke fun at. Didnt mean to drag down your post. But you should build what YOU want, its not up to us. I may not like UV purple, but who cares. Go on and do it.
