Thought i'd share my new setup with everyone, it should be here by next thursday or Friday

Excited like none other,

Only 32-bit processor...
Apart from that interestening mobo though. I never heard about DFI before, but then it seems as I don't look at other things than Asus mobos. Probably stupid by me, there must be other good manufacurers out there...

Please post more about your experiences and problems and solutions. We could have more of this I think - probably most of us are thinking about the next box most of the time...

Actually that is a rather neat looking case, except for ONE thing. I am not fond of a swing open door although it does make it look sleek.

Oh yeah PCTech.....who you going to get to build it for you? LOL

Just kidding.............I got faith that you will go slow and do it right.

Good Luck

Oh have you thought about making a custom wiring harness for the rom drives as well as hard drives, as in a minature wiring harness for a car with no visible wires except the connectors. Just a thought

[PCTech]

I'm shaking with excitment! I can't wait folks!

@Dudelive, if I get confused i'll get you to do it for me! Also I like the idea about a custom wiring harness so it would look nice and neeto in there...I'll get up with you and we can figure something out.

@War, I'll post pics of it once I get everything in it and all like I want it!
@Uni, I liked the asus boards, but for what I was doing just too many people were having problems with it overclocking stabley. the DFI Ultra one that I am getting, supposedly has the highest stable air cooled overclock ever reached at 250mhz with out batting an eye. could go higher but that was supposedely with stock heatsink and fan! i'll really see how kick butt it is!

I just can't wait!!!

***Off topic here***
I broke my nitro truck today!! I blew snapped the throttle assembly from the inside of the engine, and the front stearing servo needs to be replaced, as it now wont turn left at all, it will make right turns all day though!
edit: It now will open the throttle 3/4 of the way open, I bent the throttle linkage gotta fix that today, and I still have to tinker with the stering servo to see if I can just reset the gears in there!

Congrats on your new pc set up! I am sure you will enjoy it.

Alright everyone, I got the computer built with some help from my dad. The case unless you use round IDE cables can get a little small. Maybe its just cause I threw everything in there to see if it would work. I did replace the side 80mm case fan with the vantec tornado and the fan controller at the front works nicely, if I am playing games or doing something intense I can turn the fan on high (btw its freakin loud!) or low if i need too! It needs some lights, also, the battery to report the temperature on the LCD screen is dead, as was lots of other people's that bought this very case, so if anyone else does get this case from newegg.com, please do you self a favor and get a batter for it, it looks like one of those hearing aid ones! Well I'll get more indepth and take some pictures later, SP1 just finished and i gotta restart!
