whoa, spacey

Re: Computer Cooling
 

looks loud. but anywho. if i were you i'd take take that switch it has and rewire it to a panel on the front of your pc.

back switches are a pain

Re: Computer Cooling
 

Yeah I know I want really good cooling and a great case with a window so I can show off all the hard work that I've done to this computer

[edit]

This is one case I was thinking of buying it's only $25 with a 500w power supply with a window.. Here is a picture

Good ol' blowers. I've been wanting to get one similar to that for awhile now, but alas, no money for a few weeks......

i want to get an Alienware Aurora Extreme :(


but it's like $3,380 USD :baby:...that's a lot of money, but i figured that if i get a credit card, i can get it financed for about $175 CND/month

Re: Computer Cooling
 

Yes, if the switch is on the back it kind of sucks. Switches on the front are cool though. Switches, and buttons, and gauges. You can never have too many of those.

Re: Computer Cooling
 

I think that if you want to show off what you have inside, you should get a better window. By better, I mean more actual window so that you can actually see inside.

And if you want to see in side, you should of course get some cold cathodes for your case. I recommend blue or UV or red.

I've always wanted to get this case:

Re: Computer Cooling
 

quite often tho the design on the window looks a lot better then a big open window.

expecially when theres a light on inside and the design in the window really stands out.

Re: Computer Cooling
 

That's a nice case, but wouldn't it sort of suck? The case is all clear red plastic, and so wouldn't that look like sh*t with your cd drives and all that stuff?

Personally, I've yet to ever see a cd-rom or whatever with a clear face on it.

So, like, wouldn't it be ugly to have a nice clear tower and then those solid white (or beige or whatever they are) colored drives in the front of it?

Re: Computer Cooling
 

maybe the company makes the cd drives as well

Re: Computer Cooling
 

yeah yoda I agree I do want something like that but I'm in more for cost sake then anything else that case probably runs hmm.. I'm gona guess in upwards of 50 the case that I posted was $25.. :offtopic: I like the face morph very cool :)

Re: Computer Cooling
 

Thanks about hte morph, lol. Yeah I hear ya about hte case. If I were to spluge on my case, I night not even get the case i posted. I think it would be a bit overpowering, and yes, I doubt the cd drives would look very good in a case like that, and then there's fingerprints, etc.

But yeah, I geuss it's all personal preference. I like the bigger window so that I can have a window applique on it.

Re: Computer Cooling
 

I would too.. I was thinking about another case too when I get home and I can get the picture I will post the picture it has a bigger window.

Re: Computer Cooling
 

I have a problem:

I have an AMD Athlon, which needs a good cooler.
So I have a good cooler, the problem is just: It's making so much noise! :mad:
Even when I'm only playing music, the cooler is at full speed, while I don't think it has to because I'm not asking much of the processor.

Is there a way to change the speed (/noise) of the cooler by software?? Thanks :)
