New computer... Yay... Problems... Doh!

Ghost - if you're in a rush for the parts ignore this. I know I can't wait to fiddle once I get the parts :D


I'm going to put in an order for a remote control for my PC. If you want i'll get the SATA cable and 20-24 pin convertor and post them. Will save you the postage costs and its the least I can do.
 
CPU is now 35, case 31, HDD is too hot - HDD cooler on the way then! The case should run a fair bit cooler when I get everything sorted (y) Its a rolling project :)

HDD coolers arn't that efficient. If you have the space for 2x 80mm fans infront of the hard drive then thats the way to get air flow.

Problem with my case is that despite have mountings for 4 80mm fans in the front, there is actually very little venting available for them to draw air in. I think I'm gonna have to get creative and have the fans further set in the case with some ducting :chin: Cutting the front ain't an option.

I have an Akasa HDD cooler waiting to go in, at least its a good make. I'll sort something out :devil:

I'll take a pic of my case (y) Its only a second hand gaming case :)
 
please do :D

im stuck with the same case ive had since my first computer! its not a bad case, but theres just some real limitations to it!

the first one i was looking at was a Asus Vento in either red or black, but it wont fit in my desk :( then it was Gigabyte 3D, but thats also too big :(

but the tsunami fits fine, i just cant use the usb ports on the top :cry:

Nah dont worry buddy :slayer: as i said its just my luck i think :) if it was anyone else it'd have been fine :p

Already ordered sata cable (looks redy pink eeek!) and the adaptor :p my electron declined though... for like £9 something, quite scared i've overdone the screen budget by quite a way :eek: :(

your case can't be below ambient temp, unless you have peltier effect cooling going on in there! (or phase change..)
