need earplugs?

If you're gonna crossfire that, for interests of sanity get a thermaltake tidewater plus so you don't go deaf.

Mischief007 · December 9th, 2006, 02:22 PM

No Crossfire for now. I don't need to do that for now

Thats's a great phone... I'm using it myself, the Camera is really good... but the Mp3 function is abit crap though IMO... but the great camera just overcomes all the flaws on the phone

Only down-side to that one is that it doesn't show you which song is playing :/

not really mine, my gf bought a laptop today:

its a Vaio - vgn-n11s. Nothing special, just a stylish thingy she really liked for the money... macbook would have been too less hdd for the cash and she was on a budget...

Also ordered this today:

Her christmas present, a Samsung YP-Z5FA 4 GB... A friend of mine has it, and I read in tests that is has longer battery life than the nano and sounds better...

I'll be using both a bit since we live together, I reckon

Mischief007 · December 14th, 2006, 04:03 AM

Here are the rest of the things with some pictures of mostly everything in it. Need to buy another power supply since the one I have right now is 420 watts and ATI recommends 450 W at least. Plus I need a couple of SATA cables.

Jacobfox · December 14th, 2006, 06:42 AM

Nice RAM.
Is that the gold or platinum?

andyhui01 · December 14th, 2006, 07:53 AM

^wow... Mischief, looks like you got a good promotion eh? New Car, New computer, New wheel... new house on the way?

How was the assembly like with this case? Heard that getting the wires from the bottom compartment to the mother board was a pain. That's my only worry, other than that I really want this case. Easily the best looking case on the market, along with the P150/Solo. Was this your first build? Would you suggest it for a first time builder?

Mischief007 · December 14th, 2006, 01:18 PM

The RAM is Gold edition.

Andy, a promotion yes, but I've been saving my money for this upgrade for a while. New car is for my mom and not me

.

The case is awesome. Yes, it is tight by the plastic to get the wires on for the switch, power, and hdd leds but it can be done with patience. This is probably my 4th or 5th build by now. I do recommend the case because it is awesome. And it being an Antec case, the power supply mounts at the bottom and therefore it is not top heavy

. I'm not done yet since I'm missing a few things and have to upgrade my power supply once again. Damn video cards.

CyberMonkey · December 14th, 2006, 03:45 PM

I was looking toward the P180 too but found it too "plastic" for my taste. So I bought the Lian-Li pc 101-b instead. Quite a lot costier, but all-alu (and bigger too, I think). If you have the money to spend, I'd consider that one too.

The issue is because the PSU is located at the base the normal 4 pin motherboard connector wasn't long enough to stretch for some motherboards. However plenty of new PSU's are more than capable of providing cable with enough length on them.

I picked up an Antec Truepower 2 when I bought my case and it fitted perfectly (obviously being the same brand) howeveer I have heard of people using various other ones ok.

As a case for a first time builder its very friendly, all the drive bays slide out nicely and theres plenty of room to work in there

Labcoatguy · December 14th, 2006, 09:57 PM

I fetched this wee beastie from the UPS center yesterday, to replace my 5 year old 15-in LCD with randomly flashing patches of green pixels. Mein Gott, but having 19in of screen area is wonderful. And wow, compressed video really looks like crap now. Only downside: no DVI cable included.

I just put in a Thermaltake 600 Watt power supply and everything reached perfectly

By the way the system is up and running

. Posting from it

I'm expecting my new vidcard tomorrow or early next week (XFX GeForce 7950GT XXX edition) and my GF is picking up a new mouse for me today (Logitech MX Revolution). Will post pics as soon as i have them.

D-Fence · December 16th, 2006, 11:42 AM

) My old D500 is a little bit smaller, but way fatter...and I hate it.
