Thats a nice case and very neat. Mine has wires running all over the place and its so messy. :thumbsup:

There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.

No I was unable to connect the built in case audio jacks to my X-fi card. I have to use the front bay that came with my sound card, and that mounts in a cd drive bay and connect to the sound card via IDE cable.

Since all i want is the headphone jack, im not going to be willing to pay the extra for the WHOLE front panel, which costs an extra hundred. On my audigy card there is a white ten pin male connector, I found a connector online after searching for awhile. I'll tell you if it works!

 

With all the features that Creative gives with their sound cards, why don't they add that simple connector on to it? the front panel connectors on cases have been on for years now. :blink: Maybe its a scheme to get you to buy Their front panel. ehh

Just got an orange led fan. Wow it's so orange :(

Just how bright are all those lights. It looks really bright from the pictures. :)

 

Those cold cathodes are so bright, that they kill any impact that led fan should have, in terms of lighting. I'm thinking of switching to blue leds.

Crystal Fontz, your display, looks really nice... does that take up 2 5.25 drive bays or just 1? Does it take anything special to install it? I probably shouldn't get one at all really. I only have 1 5.25 drive bay left, and thats where i tuck all of my extra wires. I would like something like that though... :)

The CrystalFontz panel I'm using takes up two drive bays, but they also make a single drive bay version. also there is no need to worry about room to hide the wires because the panel is flat like an unused drive bay cover. It connects to a USB connector on your mobo, internally.

How hot do your graphic cards run?

 

I tossed my Asus SoundMax sound card and replaced it with a Creative XFi Extreme Gamer. Fixed my buzzing problem. and hopefully i get a FPS boost too! :thumbsup:

 

EDIT: It took me since november to get all my pieces in order because of drawbacks.

How do you have so few wires? What the hell, i have about like 4 or 5 cables with wires come out of them all over the place inside my case.

He's probably got just as many wires, but it looks like he's hidden most of them, either in an empty drive bay or behind the motherboard.

Behind the motherboard is correct - 2 pts for Deraldin!

 

Also the new GPU runs about 15C cooler than the top one. Probably because they improved the cooling or something

 

Oblivion now runs twice as fast; I feel like I got the Geforce 9900 early or something

The graphics look really nice at a distance, but not so great up close. Probably wouldn't notice it in motion though.

 

Hurray two points! I was reading up on the Antec Nine Hundred recently and hearing about some of the problems with routing wires, namely you need to cut holes in the back plate to hide the wires back there. Before reading about that I had never really thought about where people put the wires. Mine are currently all over the place, but I don't have any airflow in my case at all since I don't have any case fans.

What about your X-Fi ... can you sandwich it in your motherboard with two 8800GTSs (... and a PhsX card ... ) ?

 

C'mon, Bok, label your picture! :D

 

Oh man. Bok has has 3dMark score in his sig now. Just rub it in a little more why don't ya! :teehee:

my motherbaord came with 3DMark, ill have to install it soon and give a try at it. Although my system will never run SLI, or crossfire. Maybe Ill add a physics card if or when they become popular. I did read in the news today that AMD/ATI will be adding a high quality sound proccessor to their graphic card that will be Vista compatible and also will support HDMI. I hate HDMI.... :)

Meta dude, they're GTX's not the slower GTS's :)

 

And my physx card got squeezed out, no more room :sorcerer::( I have to wait and get the X-fi 2 which will probably be PCI-E 1x based, and then maybe physx card can go back in

 

WITHTEETH: onboard sound on a GPU sounds whack; why not stick the whole pc on one card then??

Asus is coming out with a sound card, that sounds interesting. Its suppose to have an analog out so you can record anything legally and easily. Well its at least legal for them to make it...

 

Razer Barracuda just made a Audio card too that is suppose to kick butt, i don't know if it really does but it has a EMI shield on it, which would fix my problem i get when i wear my headphones, unless i could make my own EMI shield.

I'm remaining calm and am actively suppressing my envy of Bokishi's rig. When R600 hits the market, then I'll make my move. No hurry yet. I mean Crysis hasn't even been released yet.

 

I don't dare to benchmark my computer though..
