Hi there!
Here's my rig, I would say it's just quiet with so many fans, probably no where near SPCR standard but the best I try so far
Dual Mobile Barton @ 2.4G at stock vcore with zalman 7000Cu-like heatsink both at 5v.
Gigabyte-7dpxdw-p with copper NB heatsink.
1Gb Ram
6800GT with NV5
4x160Gb Maxtor Diamond 9 at onboard raid 0 suspended with elastics
Antec True Power 550 with 9cm fan took off and most cover cut off. 12 cm antec from my old 3700bqe at front and 8cm TT silentcat @5v swap in the end of air Tunnel. Finally tune down this noisy babe.
YY-w201 with 14cm fan and 2x7cm installed in the back and extra 4x12cm crystal fan at 5v with blue led
You gotta wondering where the hack I got these heatsinks and NB cooler. Never see them before in US. That's right, I bought them in China since I currently work here. The 7000Cu-like cooler is quite cheap compared to actual zalman ones. 130 RMB each, around $16ish USD. NB is about $6 USD. All copper. I'd say they work better than my old 7000Al-Cu, which got smashed during trasportation.
The YY case is relative cheap here. Cost me less than $80 USD. But it did took me alot of time and courage to cut it since this is my vergin mod. You can see planty of dust sucked up at the front filter.>_< Kinda need to clean my bedroom. Anyway, I am not totally satisfy with CPU temp, idle at 48~ degrees because the hot humid weather in Shenzhen. thought about build wind tunnel for the cpus but that probably will work better with heatpipe heatsink such as tower 120 or sonic tower if they fit. But thanks to SPCR's many excellent techniqs and any sugguestion are welcome.
Possible future upgrades: Water cooling? Nay! seems not as fun as air cooling. Would like to get 4gb ecc and run window xp in ramdisk if one stick drop to $50 bucks or less. Gigabyte I-ram or cheap 3ware 7506-8. Anyone got one for sale? ^^
Enough of my craps and here's terrible taken pics
