Pictures work fine for me, but my God they're huge!
People who are on dial-up's are going to curse your name.
And I've got the same little MATX case you've got there, the one under your desk on the left. As a total aside from the point of your post I have a question about that little case: Were you able to fit a CD drive into it with either a big heatsink (like your SLK-800) or a VGA card?

i never tried to put a video card into that case, so i'm not sure. regarding heatsinks, i currently have a vantec aeroflow (read: LOUD) that barely fits under the cd-rom. given that, i'd guess that an slk-800 wouldn't even come close to fitting. it's still a work in progress, but i'm thinking that after i install the os, i'll just take it out and suspend the hard drive in that space or something.Rusty075 wrote:And I've got the same little MATX case you've got there, the one under your desk on the left.

what'd you do about the power supply? because it is way too loud, after being spoiled by my latest machine.Rusty075 wrote:I ended up putting a Zalman flower cooler in mine, it fits, barely, with a CD drive. I cut an intake hole over the CPU (where the little vent holes are already) to draw cool air directly in.

Jeez dude, resize those pics, they're huge. It took me almost 2 minutes to load this page and I'm on a 1.5Mbps T-1 here. You can get them about 1/10th the size they currently are using something like Irfanview and the quality will be at least 90-95% of you huge pics.

Nice job setting up your system. Everything looks real neat and tidy.

thanks for the positive comments regarding the noise, during the day with my window open and the normal daytime noises that occur, it is completely inaudible. with my window closed during the day, there is a slight wooshing noise, which is probably the airflow of the 120mm fan. during the dead of night, the barracuda's become audible with a slight mid frequency hum, and the woosh of the fans is at about the same level as the drives. overall, i'd say it's about the quietest one can reasonably make a pc with conventional aircooling, so i'm pretty happy. maybe one day i'll go all out for completely passive cooling, but until then...johnc wrote:Very clean, beautiful lines.
What does it sound like?
