Vista - Show us your rig

The side fan is aftermarket and from Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!, it uses the 3 prong straight into the motherboard but all my other case fans use the big 4 prong and each has a male/female.
I decided on the Antec TriCool 3speed 120mm but seein as the prices went up now you may want to choose one of the other ones.
The only idea I have for your no lights being on is that maybe your motherboard bios has an option to turn them off/on.

Bigeasy18, one thing to consider is to take your pc off the floor. You will find that you will get more dust in your system like this. Something simple like putting it on a box will help.

Thanks big easy. LOL it's not the motherboard, the fans I replaced the original ones with didn't come with any lights. Looking at the newegg page though answered my question, you ordered the one with the LED blue lights lights. I got mine at fry's so I had to go with what they had. Oh well.

Roy. Thans for the tip. I didn't know that and mine is also on the floor, well it is until I go get something to set it on lol. My daughters' is also coming off the floor............

Hi, I had a look at the Antec 900, im so buying one lol. Im so syked about my pc build now! What a cool case and an even cooler price! £46-58 was what i found them at. Such great value and a 200mm fan. Well that just sealed the deal.

OK Everyone, I've been trying to decide here for a while now if I'd do a new build.. I've finally decided to just do it. So I've started my build.. got my Case, Mobo be here tomorro, same with the PSU, next comes the Intel Quad Core.. So on... (If want to kno what parts I got commin for RIG, just ask)..

So I decided to paint the inside of the Case because I hate that Ugly Metal color inside, I'm changing the Case to a Windowed Side Panel, Probably will make my own, not buy ugly one from Cooler Master.. So I'm painting it a High Gloss Shiny Midnight Black. I figured I'd be the Nice guy I am and post pictures here on my favorite Vista Place) for you all to enjoy, and possibly get idea's.

So here's the Beginning stages of my Case Mod, from taking parts off, to Putting on the first layer of Aluminum Primer


Here is the case, I realized I should take pixs of the entire job a lil late.. sorry


Another Shot of the Case


Slowly taking all the Parts off


Here's it almost finished, with It's TOP off


Doin this with my brother, 690 (Left), His Antec 900 (Right)


His And My Side Panels, Starting Primer


This is the Case fully Covered in the Aluminum Primer
I'll go easy on the Pictures.. sorry this is a lot.
Will use less in future pics.


Last Pic for today, Will do another coat in morning and tomorro night I'll start on the Midnight Blacks first coat..




Thanks for looking at my MOD job, Check back for more pictures coming soon, all the way through my build probably. But I'll use less pics, as this might be a BIG and long tread to open, and slow as hell, God forbid someone has 56K connection. So I'll keep them down.
Or maybe them smaller if anyone thinks they are 2 big.

Thanks, and come again to see the rest Later

Hey exguntherc, I don't think there are too many pictures, but maybe others do. It's cool to see the build in all of it's stages, for my part you can keep doing that, I think it's interesting. you seem like real pro

Greetings

yea looks cool, painting a case never even crossed my mind before LOL im just reatarted that way. but please post more pics, i dont think thats too much. What is the full spec of you PC?

I do not have a camera that will take a decent picture, or it's just me. LOL

Here are images of the new system that I put together so far with my old parts and all of the help from the kind folks that made donations. They will give you a good idea of what the system looks like. There is a link under each one for specs on the device.

Thank You,
Shawn Brink
