arcanistherogue 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 !! so anyways.... i finnally built my computer. everything is from newegg and it shipped a day early. fastest in the world. anybody whos wants help building plz post or pm me id me more that glad to help Here are the pimpin specs----- -AMD ATHLON 64 3400+ Proc. -dfi lanparty nf3 250gb mobo -1gb kinston pc3200 (400mhz) ddr ram -wd 80 gb hard drive -thermaltake sviking case( i love this one) 2x120mm fans -samsung dvd/cdrw drive -480psu -9600 all in wonder ati radeon, buying a 6600gt nvidia! its fast thats what i can say 42744[/snapback] sweet, i love that motherboard. its very sexy, goes good in a case with a window or a pure acrylic case. I dont know if that case has a window, i need to look into that case. My new computer im building will just have an Asus K8N, good reliability but not very flashy. if i have money later on this year ill make another with pure acrylic case and real nice parts, a bunch of UV lights and UV reactive parts. Maybe ill also shove one of those flashy controllers for fans in the front, they make the computer look so cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Final)arkJon 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 yes the motherboard definately goes good with the case lol. i have a cold cathode light thats uv, so i might get some uv wires but the purplish stuff looks awsome! im runnin at ok temps, 50load and 40load on mobo, thats mega full! so im ok i guess. i may get a new heat sink bc the one it came with is only the dimensions of the mount. so it really isnt that good of a heatsink so i was thinking of heatpipe... how do those cool.. i cant afford water lol!^ thx jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

novaforme 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2005 I like the second one the best just for the fact that there is a fan that would be blowing the heat off the stack, that would be nice i might have to get one of them, im tired of my loud a$$ heatsink.
