Well I built a computer for the first time 2 weeks ago and everyone seems to be running fine. Anyway I took pictures and thought it would be pretty cool to give you guys a peak at it. And by the way, my wiring is totally crappy! and I'm aware of it.

Haha! So did I. ;)
I was eager to see what it looked like, too. |
I love the casing, but that fan doesn't look like it would be enough to cool anything. You should probably find a cover to cover all those components with an opening in the way of the fan. That way, the air could flow smoothly and keep your components cooled.
Or you could buy a bunch of individual cooling components or fans. I didn't think you had enough room, though. [Edit] I just noticed your key. Contact me on MSN Messenger plx [email protected] Or AIM if you don't have MSN Messenger Superllamalicker |

That way, the air could flow smoothly and keep your components cooled. I have 6 fans. Two in the rear, the lower-rear area contains the liquid cooling fan. I have two fans on my PSU, a fan on the roof, and one in the front by the drive bays(which can be seen if I were to open up the doors in the front). |

Heh i have the same case cept without the front doors, defintly a good case to have a lot of hard drives

So what do you possibly need a all that power for? The SLI 7800GT is pointless, one 7800GT will run any game out on the market at highest settings, without any problem.
I just don't understand why you would spend all that on a computer that will be outdated in 2 years. I spend about $600 a year to keep mine completely up to date.
And why have all that power, but no RAID? You harddrives will bottleneck you. I am running two SATA 120GB in a raid, increasing the proformance a lot. It is not extreamly stable, but it has worked for 3 months without a problem.
I would like to upgrade to two GB of ram, but I would have to buy two sticks, because I am running two 512 sticks in dual channel.
