The Specs of it are in my sig. I am not gonna overclock for a few days until the artic silver II makes the cpu a few degreese cooler. Right now it runs (according to bios) at 24C idle and 35C Load. I am going to install windows 2000 tomorrow. i am too tired now... :) took me around 24hours to build. The case airflow has improved from the pictures posted. i used a bunch of plastic ties i picked up at home depot after taking those pictures to tie the wires to the sides of the cases.

The mofo is loud! Sounds like a vacuum cleaner! I dont mind it at all though. if you leave it on for around 5 minutes you completly ignore the noise.

very nice, now you could do a window mod, get a cold cath and add a few blowholes and ull be set for some great oc'n :)

Nice setup!!! to my experience the XP's overclock fairly good with standard cooling because they don't run so hot. Post some results when ya get them baby chuggin along.

Looks like you can go for a wire clean up! :D

Tube your PSU Wires hehe they're everywhere!

Good setup.

Tube your psu wires? what does that mean? i put some plastic ties around them as best as i could but the case flow still aint that good. It is good around the hdd, pci cards, and cpu (essentially the whole mobo area) but up in the cdrw/dvd/livedrive area, there is a whole mess of wires that i can not seem to get any better case flow up there.

No i am not goin to window mod it cause first off i do not really care that much and i dont wanna risk destroying my case. also, i think that eventually i am gonna put some foam in it to make the case a little quieter..... the delta is pretty loud even for me, a death metal nut :cool:

You know tubing where water goes through from the aquarium etc?

Take the tub take scissors and cut through the middle of it then take your PSU out and cut the zip ties. Put all the wires in there that go to the mobo and then your power wires which go into your IDE devices you'll have to plan it out. Where the power connecters to the IDE will have to come out of the tubing at a certain spot to reach it.

Then take take and tape the tubing up. Looks much nicer that big bad wires coming out of everywhere.

I do not care what it looks like inside, i care if it will give me better airflow than the wires w/ plastic ties around them. Will it? If so, where do i get these tubes... is there a online shop anywhere or do i need to goto homedepot?

It will increase the airflow in your case with the wires bundled, so yeah, go for it. The first easiest thing to do would be to tape them up using electrical tape. The next easiest thing to do is to go to an automotive store and pick up some wire loom (if you don't know what that is, someone in the store will...:D ). Either of these methods will clean up your wires. They are not that pretty, but since you don't care that much about that...it is the economical answer...

Of course it will improve air flow why do you think ATA/IDE cables are coming in rounded now?

You can find them anywhere in a Hardware store or just find some kind of tubing.
