UPDATE #2



Well after tearing down the Xion case, I decided to take some pics of my hardware since it was naked.


Diamond HD4850



4x1Gb Wintec AMP-X DDR2 800



Xpress 3200 cooling



ZeroTherm engraving on the base of the cooler



SB600 Cooling



Main system components



Time to start actually building the rig back up.


Optical & Hard drive setup



The case can handle eATX, so it swallowed my ECS KA3-MVP with room to spare



NZXT uses weird PCI slot covers, they're on the right



GPU, Sound card, and SATA devices installed. I/O bracket was a PITA so I chucked it.



Prepping the PSU for install



This is where I fail... I did a bad cable management job. Just horrible.



I can't look...



Onoz clear side panel.. I can see the failure..



This is the result for now. Performance-PCs needs to hurry up with my other equipment.




Quick comparison...

UPDATE #3



This was the carnage from the case move.



Putting the Xion back in it's two year old box, to sit on my shelf until the future shines new light on it.



Cathode system from the Xion. Why not recycle it?





Here's my room with the Tempest. It dwarfs even my 24'' Acer.



My equipment from Performance-PCs doesn't get here until tomorrow. But my Shoes.com order came.



I love macro shots.. don't you?



Adidas fanboy... but I'm not that over-the-top about it.




That's all for today. The real fun comes tomorrow.

UPDATE #4



Well, enough about shoes... my Performance-PCs box came today.



My new side panel exhaust fan. I didn't want an LED fan blinding me on the side panel.



Logisys Green LED 120mm fan next to the NZXT Blue LED 120 fan.



Using my old cathode kit, the install was easy on the Tempest. It has perfect spacing.



SilverStone FN121 & ZeroTherm BTF90 working together to cool off my CPU.



Logisys fans installed. They feel cheap to me, I wanted A.C. Ryan fans but they are out of stock.



Here is the Greened out Tempest next to my 24" Acer.



IN case you have forgotten, this case is huge. That's a full size ATX board in there.



FN121 & BFT90.. installed.



WD 750Gb AALS (shown) & 250Gb AAJS (not shown) catching a breeze.



Front panel, you can clearly see the Green LED fans, even through 2 layers of dust filters.
This area will have more work done, I have to change out the LEDs to Green, for now I just didn't plug them in.



And wrapping things up here, a shot of the Red LEDs on the BTF90 through the grill of one of the 140mm fans.




Quick comparison -
This was the closest picture of the Xion I could find, so bare with me...



Stay tuned!
