Honestly? Both. :lol:

I found a pub when I was on holiday that made it's own cider... man, that stuff was nice. Lethal, too... 14% alcohol in cider is insane. :D

But yeah... don't drink cider for the booze, drink it for the taste. :D

...

I know most watercooling blocks are quite pricy, but I guess it depends.

Sounds like you shook some dust loose when you moved it. ;) Or the heatsink seated better...

£25 for the MCW60 on my graphics card puts it at the same price as an accelerato...

working it out its about £125 more for water than a CPNS9500 and VP900 combo :P

The accessory TT gfx waterblocks are actually very inexpensive - only around $40 CDN.

Here is the probably model you need http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/Liquid/Upgrade/cl-w0088/cl-w0088.asp

This one might also fit

I have the BigWater 735 & it does an excellent job. When I upgrade I will probably do the Symphony (like Tamlin)

I recommend the pump & Rad be mounted in the outside rear of the case (it's meant for that also) rather than in the case - noticeably gets more latent heat out of the case.

I put mine on a bracket so it sits to the side for more need front to back room on the not-to-deep desk. it is also near the window AC unit :D

I also added 2 more TT fans in the side grill :wink:

Sweet, thanks Doug. I like the look of the fans on the side window of the case. Was it anything special to do those, cause I thought about doing that myself but didn't want to have to do anything with the mesh that's on the door already.

Naa that looks pretty easy to do Ice we could do that realy quick here some night.. would look good with the red fans you talked about aswell .. I think I also have a few red LEDs here that we can swap out with the front one on yours..

Option

mines nothing exciting. But what the hell, I got upgrade plans like no other.


17" Viewsonic VP171b and...I do love it. Now, I'll love it next to something MUCH bigger.



socket A forever! :wink:

Got to love those Silent Wheels :)

Ice,

RE: "Was it anything special to do those, cause I thought about doing that myself but didn't want to have to do anything with the mesh that's on the door already."

Nope - those TT fans mount right on the grill mesh - no mod needed.
I did however need to use small washers on the mounting bolts so that they wouldn't slide through the mesh. I used 1/4" stainless steel ones.

I have yet to cut the fan speed controller faceplates that come with them




I wanted to use these (below) but figured the 120mm would be better than the 80mm

I think these are the best looking fans I ever saw - just something about them...




On the subject of cooling & fans

I moded 2 of the TT RAM cooling kits

I took the fan off of the aluminium kit




& put it on the Hi Perf copper kit



& I used the left over heat sinks for the GFX card chips not covered by the GFX card TT waterblock.


CAUTION

If you use the included two sided sticky tape to mount the pieces - watch it if you ever remove it !!!!

I ruined 2 512Mg sticks of high end dual channel DDR2 RAM when I removed them - the RAM chips came off - $300 thrown away :shock:

Use a razor blade or Xacto knife & take your time....

Here is my wife's Command Centre (my "old" game rig)
It is located behind mine in the same room.

Noitice the "STOLEN" WSGF mousepad :roll:

P4 2.6 HT
