One shouldn't setup the sub close to the unit anyway, because the shock wave will shake something loose in the case.

Yea... No.

I built my PC, so I'm positive that nothings coming loose from the "shock wave" as you put it. The woofer can't put out a powerful enough "wave" to knock anything loose in my case, since I secure everything really well. My PC has fallen off the side of my desk and suffered no damage or components knocked out of place.

You shouldn't double post either... Use the

button.

Hi FreeLancer, congrats that you have a tank which is very impressive for no damage falling from the desk.

However not everyone does. Almost every time after I playing games, my SATA cables on the Seagates keep coming loose that I have to tug on it to avoid freezing up. After I moved the sub to the other side of the desk the problem seems less frequent. Therefore I assume the shock waves is it. Finally I replaced the SATA cables with after market ones and the problem has been taken cared so far. It also depends on how loud you have your sound set on.

About the double posting, I still can't figure out how is the Edit button would help in this case. Apologize for the inconvenience.

Have a nice holiday.

Sounds like you're using low quality SATA cables or drives in your PC, usually the lower quality cables have connectors that don't quite fit properly. From my experience I've found that that's usually the case for most cables as well (HDMI, Fiber Optic, USB, Firewire, etc).

I meant no offense about the edit button thing. However, if you click edit on the second post, you can Cut/Paste it into the first post, and then use the "Delete" option in the edit window to get rid of the second post you made.

Wow that CPU cooler makes everything else look like it's in miniature lol, Nice Rig!

What does the case look like?

 

[swarfega]

That cpu cooler is quite small compared with mine! Ill post a pic soon.

Why is your hard drive on the floor and not in the caddy?

 

[Mr GRiM]

Looks like he had to move it to fit the 9800GTX+ in there, it does seems to be attached to something at the bottom. Looks like that video card should get some good ventilation with nothing blocking that fan.

Swarfega is that the same Armor case as mine or do you have the newer design, I got the one with the built in Water Cooling, had to get a replacement tank mine, noticed after I filled it up that it had a big crack down the side, it's all fixed now I am very happy with it.

Hi kingcarcas, looks like lots of creative mods on the case. Like the way you clear the way for the fan, that area usually collects lot of heat.

I might have kept the cross beam and attach a small piece of something between the beam and the huge cpu heatsink to take some weight off the MB.

Good work!

Its the original Armor full size case. Next one Im considering is the Thermaltake SPEDO, really nice looking case.

 

[kingcarcas]

Haha it is the Ninja mini, there's a bigger version of it. The GTX wouldn't fit with the hard drive cage so i cut it, i know i'll never use more than 1 drive anyway.
You guys actually noticed the cross beam, i cut it out of the way when i replaced the PSU because i didn't feel like removing the guts to replace it.

Im hoping to update my rig soon, thought id post in this thread (ill get images of my current setup soon). I want to get another 8800GT and a better motherboard so i can use sli and 8gb ram. :D

 

[bruce2]

Great! don't let us wait too long.:D

Have you considered just buying a new graphics card?
The performance of sli on an 8800gt and motherboard over the cost of a newer card may make a difference.

Updated to EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Super clocked Video Cards SLI'd
Also, added screenshots of GPU Z, CPU Z, and Real Temps.

Very very nice indeed grim! I'm stone jealous (does one say that?)!!
One thing I don't get: if you were to go for tri SLI, like this guy for example: http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/3497/evga790itriplesliair2mc7.jpg , how do the cards breathe then??:s

All I'm getting for Christmas is a 9800 GTX+... Oh well, better then my 6600, right

Again, nice rig!!

[grimreaper]

I did have tri SLi with bfg 9800 GTX, and yeah they were breathing (a lil heavy of course), lol.
To be honest, I wanted the 280's for this current setup, but way pricey..I'll wait.
Thanx for the comments bro!

 

[smarteyeball]

Hey GR, I bet you get low Framerates with that setup

Nice work

 

[amplid]

Grim, what are you going to do with the 780 board?

HOW do they breathe... If I look at it, the fans seem to be closed off, for example the fan from the middle card... Where does it suck its air from? How did you like the 9800GTX's?

By the way I agree with roy69, jonnojonno999, if Iwere you I'd get the new mobo, but don't 'waste' (it's a good card, but getting dated) on an 8800GT. Better wait 'till you have some more cash and go for a GTX 260. If you have a lot of cash, go for a gtx 260 sli setup, like grim
