Not bad John.. I hate you.. lol I wish my Dualies were matching like that. Makes it much better. Meh, I can't complain tho. When I get a darn near brand new 19" LCD for $70 bucks from sold old guy.. works for me i guess.

and 1more.. not bad at all. Looks good. although I must agree. I have a black glass top. and I HATE it.. I can't wait to get a new one. It gets soooooo dirty. and your fingerprints all over it. I wash it every other day. (I have OCD). and it's always still dirty. but I can't seem to find one i like.. anyone have some good idea's on where to get some good Desks. one that can fit my rather long G11 keyboard.

A corner style desk like mine should work with the G15 w/o issues, I think - KB tray is like 27 or 28 inches wide....

 

[xguntherc]

ya some corner desks look like they might fit.. but lots don't.. does ur G15 have the G keys on the side.. cuz I kno ones longer than the other. I need a good desk. I hate this one

 

[johngalt]

I don't have a G15, I was just mentioning the size of the KB tray that slides out where I keep my KB and mouse....

I just did some checking, and the Original G15 is 21.5 ", whereas my M$ Optical Desktop with Fingerprint Reader weighs in at 20.3 inches, so yours would be approximately 1.2 inches larger - if you at my pics from my computer build on my Picasa gallery, you'll see Picasa Web Albums - johnlgalt - The Beast as the KB and Picasa Web Albums - johnlgalt - The Beast as the mice - and this one gives a good idea of how much space is left with the KB - Picasa Web Albums - johnlgalt - The Beast

So, as you see, my KB tray is rather large, and a smaller KB (say 15 inches) would feel tiny in all this space :P

I have updated the pictures now with a couple of better ones for the monitors, as well as more detailed captions for some of the rest of the pics....

All told there are 32 pics, so here is a link to my album instead of all the pics: Picasa Web Albums - johnlgalt - The Beast

swarfega, thought I'd point out that one of your fans fell off! Seriously though... Why do you have an 80mm just sitting on the bottom of your case, that can't be healthy for airflow or noise.

What CPU cooler is that?

Nice rig there, swarfega. Just one tip though? Get her off of the floor - all it takes is one stray static discharge and she'll be history...

Thats the Tuniq Tower 120. That 80mm fan isnt screwed in its just temporary while I test out temps. It does seem to reduce the graphics card temp by 4c but it is noisy!

Thanks. My old comp was on a trolley with casters, I might see about doing that again although its a rather bigger case.

 

[johngalt]

Another fan of the TT Armour and the Tower 120 - kewl!

 

[swarfega]

:D

I removed that floor fan this morning and gave the case a good going over with compressed air, I can hardly hear it now!! I used to put music on to drown it out lol.

Im planning to replace all the stock Tt fans with a matching set. Any suggestions for a good quiet make? Id prefer led ones.

Here is a pic with Thermaltake squirrel cage fan mod

 

[johngalt]

Can you link me to a Squirrel cage fan mod page?

no there isn't one it is kinda self-explanatory I mounted a T-t Squirrel cage fan on the outside of my case to blow on my CPU cooler. I would like to take a small strip of lexan about 4" wide and 8" long and heat it and bend into a curve so it would blow directly through it.
