Talking Makeover

Current rig state and computer / bedroom pics below!
I am about to further upgrade my build and go for the nice look aspect and oh god do I need it. (New case, new fans, and a bit of dusting!) My new case along with my new fans and fan controller are coming in next week and I thought I would share the transformation with you all. That is a 15 year old Kenwood stereo that my dad gave me he used it as a kid and it's still cranking out the tunes, and yes those are speakers under my table and on top, I like to be submerged in sound!

After the change the only things I will have left to upgrade is the GPU and the sound card, and I might move up to ddr2 8000, or 8500 to get extra over clocking out of this build.

On the downward looking pic, if you look at the bottom of the case you can see where i spilled something on the case, only god knows what. The rest just show off the computers I have and the desk they are on, 6 foot outdoor table 20 bucks at target baby! Oh and yes that is tape holding those extra rails to the top of my computer, there was no where else to put them lol. I have a 120mm fan sitting on top of my hard drive and a 40mm fan hung with a paper clip in the front of my case over the hard drive.

By the end of the month I should have a 3rd computer, the white one you see is pretty old and just folds. I don't know why I just collect old computers and get them back in working order usually they just need a hard drive or a reformat.

Update will come around the 21st stay tuned.

*****Before*****



*****After*****



NZXT Case : $168.00
Fan Controller: $45.00
6 Yate Loons 120mm: $38.00 (88 CFM)
2 Aero Cool 80mm: $6.00

**All shipping included**

Total for Makeover: $257.00

I did my best to run all the wires on a rail to keep things clean and tidy. The fan control can only run those fas to a maximum of 2200 RPM which is like 600 RPM shy of max so I guess around 65 -70 CFM. The 2 back 120mm, 1 top 80mm, PS 140mm are all exhaust. Intake: 4 Side 120mm, Front 120mm, bottom 80mm. As I said before ram and GPU are next, for replacement. Worked from 2:30pm till now 10:00pm few bumps in the road but everything was handled alright. Let me know what you all think.

I'm wondering if I should take the grill off the side of the case to allow more free flow of air.
