yeah even If I shows a R6000 ATI vs R1600 nvidia, he will say nvidia.

Now exactly why did you ask then if you knew which was the better card? Do I sense flame intent?

Mmm...

Hi Guys, Thanx for the feedback - I got mine directly from Rectron.....Carly's pricing is real good though! Very good support too.... Been doing a little shopping at East Coast Instruments in Durban this afternoon, and foraged around for proper fittings to mount my Swissflow inline - 2nd from left i...

My new (and final) toy for my setup - a new G15 keyboard. Without flash - soz for crap quality, but had to give you an idea how cool the keys etc glow - going to suit the mod to a Tee.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/MrBean_PM/New%20Lian%20Li%20Silver/Keyboard/kb_g15_2.jpg and with camera ...

Thanx for the replies Guys :) Appreciated.....hehe Anyway, a small update: I have completed the ATX main cable, and connector - looking somewhat, ok, a lot better than previously. Note the white connector have made way for uv-blue, check out the new 90deg aux power connector next to atx main. Let me...

Been thinking how to mount the dvd rom in it's new slot, actually I had a plan from the beginning, thinking back many years to my Aopen H800A server case, in which the stiffy drive was positioned, and mounted in similar fashion... So, after 20minutes in the garage, Dremel, and filing action, I came ...

I haven't checked any reviews on either the pioneer, or panasonic - you will have to google for any.....

Soz about that

I will keep this log moving, so check back regularly for updates....thanx for your comments, it is appreciated.

@ Demoraliser: I used a dremel (original one), with fiber re-inforced cutting disks, and then a fine-toothed metal file for cleanup. It was a little more difficult than usual, as I made the cut with everything installed, so I had to mask everything off to prevent aluminium dust ingress. Thanx for th...

a Small update - as you know, I got myself a nice slimline slotloader. Why slimline, if a std slotloader would be much cheaper? Well, this is why.... Cut-out prepped for slimline drive.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/MrBean_PM/New%20Lian%20Li%20Silver/CD%20Drives/dvd_hole_masked.jpg And h...

@ Muffinman: They are well built, good quality lasercut edges, etc. You have to assemble it, but I would say it's worth it

Ah Well, I had the same idea as you though, either rad on top and res's on the side, or vice versa. Quick question - another "idea" Why can't you mount rad on the floor of the case, make a nice plexi base for it to sit on, say, 2cm from the floor? Then, res's on the side panel to improve t...

@ Wikid:
See here, this is what you're looking for

Guys, if I may: Keep requests for hardware related to your mods in the relevant threads, I will reply! That way we don't make these threads unmanageable

Thanx.

Drink, net soos rook, is 'n baie slegte gewoonte, kerels. Moenie in hierdie bad-habits verval nie, julle manne is nog jonk, die goes is 'n euwel. Baie beter dinge om jou geld op te blaas. Die storie van dis fun ens is sommer bog, dis omdat ouens verslaaf is daaraan dat hulle se hulle geniet rook en ...

OK, what are they called? ermmm....temp sensors ;) But you'll have to find a method how to make a non-restrictive inline probe then and mount it. I would just mount it in the reservoir anyway, a lot easier, cleaner, less restrictive, and 100% as functional. @ Slasher:Thanx for the comments, I agree...

I just want a sensor that I can put in the flow of water, then hook it up to a Cooler Master Aerogate 2... I think they are all thermistors anyway, so you can buy some from Arthur, I think he has them in stock. a Few posts back I mentioned that I am having a few hassles with the DD5 sucking air, it...

@ DJV: Another idea, even better, as the res's are a little lonely on top - why not rather mount them on the side panel? The one on the rh side as you face your case from the front.

So, something like a 45 degree angle.....consider it at least, it gives you one more option

MrBean...where can I get a Inline Water Temp Meter? Err...make one? Not difficult, if you want only a temp sensor that can input to a digital doc etc.....would be either thermistor based, or you could use 1n4148 signal diode as the sensor, and assemble a Intersil 7106 3 1/2 digit lcd circuit yourse...

The pieces of the puzzle are arriving, one by one :) I have received my Flowmeter(s), actually 2 of them.... Good Industrial quality, very robust. Here are a few shots, enjoy.... 2x Swissflow 800's, with specsheet... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/MrBean_PM/New%20Lian%20Li%20Silver/Flowmeter...

@ Eldiablo: From my experience I won't be seeing any higher temps from this setup, as water can take a lot of heat before warming up. I will receive 3dMark06 tomorrow, and do some benchies, and log temps again. Will keep you posted. @ Axe: Yip, that is a real notebook drive, commonly referred to as ...

Good, after 3 successive 3dMark03 complete runs, I am glad to report that the highest recorded temperature was 41 deg C - that down from approx 68-72deg C before on stock air. Impressive, but no doubt because of this high flowrate the DD5 delivers. I would say a approx 30deg C drop ain't bad - yes, ...

Ok, System booting up as I type - Vapo @ -25 deg C -action time -there she goes....and liftoff - we have graphics brb - going to check those temps.... Allraatie then - I am quite pleased. For the bloody 1st time ever, on both my 6800SLi, and now, 7800 SLi setup, both my gfx cards temperatures are tr...

Yes, it's got an good enough analog adjustment. It can go from stop, to full speed, with quite a few adjustments in between.

Hey Guys,
Ok, I will need to confirm, will possibly only be able to do so on Tuesday evening, as I am off to Nelspruit for a few days from Sunday.

But, if ok, I'll let you know by Tuesday?

And it will only be me......Missus will rather finish off on COD2.....

Hello Everyone, a Small update - my new Pioneer K05 multiburner has arrived, here are a few shots to show you what it's about.... Back side with standard 50-pin centronics style interface.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/MrBean_PM/New%20Lian%20Li%20Silver/CD%20Drives/Slimline_back1.jpg and...

Me> No, DAE wanted them! Ah soz - got confused ;) Anyway, back to reservoirs, do you want it to be visible, where will you mount it, what theme you want to go with - we can work something out. Pioneer Slimline I ordered from ebay - search for pioneer k05, around US $130- incl shipping. Vat at Post ...

DJV: I would mount those 2x reservoirs ontop of your case, where you wanted to mount the rad. Next to each other, running down the length of the case, lying flat on their side, barbs going through the roof of the case...

Would look stunning.
