and Nice system Brink.. if I woulda saw that Donations Thread sooner.. I would have added.. I did read all the posts and all the people that helped.. Thats totally badass that they all did that.. I wish I thought of that..

And painting the Inside of the case is really cool, as I HATE that ugly grey aluminum Color thats stock.. one thing, if you do paint inside.. clean all metal with Isopropyl Alcohol First.. Add a good 2 coats of Aluminum Primer.. and then get a High Gloss paint.. or get a dull black.. and a can of Gloss Finish.. my paint was 2 in one.. midnight black with High gloss.. I love it so far.. although you might want to get a finish anyways.. so nothing chips.. do 3 coats of main color also.. Take ur time, one a day.. good temps outside during painting. and don't rush it..

There's my full spec list someone asked for..

And Brink Good for you, I hope your enjoying that system. What all you doing with it.. other than bein on Vistax64.com are you putting that CPU and GFX card to some heavy Gaming.. you should be.. although if you do, replace the CPU cooler with something better.. the BEST around is the Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme Cooler, or the Tuniq Tower.. thats what I got.. the Tuniq.. it's HUGE tho.

Also I did consider that case you got when doing mine.. but Not only do those Fans LOOK like a Jet Engine.. but they Sound like one also when your Running your system pretty hard.. one of My Main Pet Peeves are with my computer is SOUND.. I hate hearing Fans or HD's or the DVD drive.. so all my things I get are best for sound and Performance balanced.. and that case was just to loud for me..
plus the Big front fan doesn't have a Fan Filter.. so every month or so you should pull ur side panel off and use some compressed dust off air to clean all the dust buildup out.. cuz that fan will suck it in from the next room.. so be sure to keep the dust out as it makes things Hotter and cunducts Heat..

If anyone has anymore questions feel free to ask..

enjoy my Pics.. and Brink enjoy that Sweet system..

Cheers!
