Vista - Show us your rig

I would show off a picture of my rig, but I don't exactly have a digital camera, and I'm going to be getting the Antec P182 case within the next few weeks.

Sam, yours should be ok as long as the desk isn't pushed up against the wall where it opens in the back. Can't tell from the pic. Give it at least 4-5 inches to exhale that hot air or you'll just draw it back into the system when that small space fills up. Check out my shots, you'll see just how open my system is. My case and fan setup have my internal system temperature just 4c over ambient. Give em room to breathe!! And keep several cans of air duster handy, stuff is a life saver!!

yeah i service my computer every 2500km...lol

every couple of months i take it in to my mate (who owns a computer store) and get him to strip it and clean it (i dont like the head aches of striping and rebuilding a liquid cooled system)

Mine gets it every month. I strip it and clean it myself. It is a pain so I have turned my fans down from high to medium, hopefully only having to clean it every 2 months.

Every 2 months? Holy smokes that's often. I clean mine about once a year. The server w/ loads of fans? Twice a year. My advice? Get some really fine meshing to put over your fans. Maybe better filters in your household ventilation? (Not trying to offend, but you should not need to clean your gear out that often!)

Cleaned?

I replace the motherboard cpu and fans every 18 months, does that count?

I live in the country, alot of dust and pollen from the fields. I will look at getting a finer mesh but now the fans are turned down it seems to be alot better.

LOL,

I break my system down and clean it when I start to notice the little dust bunnies blowing around the computer.
About once a year.

I just blow mine out with an air duster about once a month. Stuff is cheap when you buy it in bulk

My setup:

Cooler Master Elite 330/331
680W Echo Star Power Supply
4 Thermaltake fans
Asus CPU Cooler
Pentium 4 3.4ghz with HT Technology
Foxconn Motherboard 915AO1P
4gb RAM (when I get my problem straight)
ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 512mb
Maxtor SATA 500gb HDD
Samsung SATA DVD+-RW Drive

Little dirty right now....PS3 is there because I was gonna use it for the monitor that I JUST got until I had to make up for some problems with cash....) .
