Ok I will try to keep this short and sweet, but thats going to be hard with all the area i want to cover.
first off here is the nightmare as it stands..laughing is allowed i do each day http://home.triad.rr.com/eridani/SERVER/
now as you can see I am cramped up like a mofo in this case and all these fans have driven me to the ends of sanity.
I am extreamly happy with the hardware i have currently, but that will change in a short order of course!
I have come into a bit of money and have set aside 1000 USD to spend on my dream case. NOISE is the main thing I want to kill plus I want the AWE factor.
few questions:
Cyro:
1. only cools the CPU not the HDD, chipset, or the vidcard
2. Noise level of the cyro's compressor and the power useage of the dern thing.
3. will liquid cooling be overkill for the other system critical components.
4. will be in family room so an all in 1 case solution is desired (case can be of humoncuss perportions if need be)
I have some breathing room with the price of the unit as i can do away with some of the hardware upgrades to get the case and cooling I want.
I am capable and willing to hack, bend, mold, solder, hammer, bash, and mutilate anything I am very handy with my hands and have family and friends that are professiols in the construction/electrical fields.
