[Stupid Boy]

That restrictive fan grille on the back is disgusting!

Other than that it's cool.

And is that PSU the Ultra PSU with the removable cables?

 

[henesse]

thanks guys, means a lot after spending $3500 USD.

The spec for this system is in my sig.
Yeah, the PSU is an Ultra X-Connect and hasn't given me any problem at all.
The case is at ambient temperature, so the three intake fans are good enough.

Some more pics while I was building this PC.

Not the same PSU in the PC now.

Looks good mate.

Suma.

I wish I had $3500 for a computer.... I think i put $350 of upgrades into this $350 emachine....

 

[Ad Rock]

The molex plugs look really cool. What brand are those? Is it a retrofit kit?

Oh and I love how your computer looks .

Yes, get that thing out of there asap!!

 

[DerekDRP]

is that a soyo mobo??

 

[henesse]

no its not a soyo mobo.
it's a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum s939.

There is enough airflow.
i don't want dust inside.
I don't plan on cleaning it every 2 monthes.
with the filter on i would only have to clean this every 6 monthes.
My OC is fine and am happy with it.

I think they meant this fan grill

not the one on your side panel..... removing the back grill won't affect dust levels and improves airflow considerably. I'd probably put a filter on my side panel fan too if I had one.... dust in annoying. Nice job on the case though

 

[Vio1]

love the psu you (and I) have.... great job.

I have the Ultra in there.
all my intake fans have filters.
I hate cleaning dust.

Vio1, did u get it from tigerdirect.ca as well?

 

[Vio1]

hi, ya I have the ultra psu in mine too. No tigerdirect has a really bad reseller rating, so I went with xoxide.com
