Okay, since i mentioned the KVM ill post a pic of the new rig on the floor also on the KVM. This one is a work in progress as i get the time.
2 80mm red fans blowing in on side
1 92mm fan blowing out on top
Antec psu 300w, single fan
Old gateway server case, plenty of room.
Gigabyte ga-7dxr+ mobo with a Barton 2600 o/c slightly to 2166 mhz, 512 pc 3200 running windows 98, or xp home off of a 160 GB 7200 maxtor, master and alone on channel 1
master channel 2, 8x generic dvd/rw
slave, channel 2, baddog dvd-rom.
temps average 25 sys, 43 cpu.
Putting a 120mm in the available hole in the back as soon as i get one ( fan )
Like i said, work in progress, not much yet. Any suggestions, let me know. I want to water cool the bottom one as it has plenty of room for it.

Nice mod I have to say Crossedup,
and how tidy can you get, very very tidy indeed, has to be one of the tidyest setups I have seen in a long time, makes me think Twice about posting mine now Ill get a pic of it later and post it. Keep in mind I like lots of Wires
Man I got a custom modded side window but no digital camera dang. It is a radation sign dremeled by me and plexi put behind it. I also have a glow pad that I made.

If you wouldnt've spend all that time and money on that...you could've had a digital camera...
Pick up a disposable and have the developer put it on a Picture CD...every one does that now!!
hey! I recognise that case in your pic ...better check mine's still in the house.
I got a second SATA drive (my drive bays looked lonesome), now I'm running RAID 0! I also bought a Vantec Fan Card in preparation for the hot month's to come! I think I'm gonna have to remove 4 of the 8 LED's before I plug it in, the thing is bright like you wouldn't believe, drowns out the rest of the case lights!

Think you're gonna need it...strawbs?
I had a PCI blower like that...can't say it did squat for me...
My temps don't get above 41C on the vid card, 37C for the CPU.
I'm sure those will both raise a few degrees in summer...but, still...nothing I'd worry bout.
And...I only have 2 120's...plus the blower on my Arctic card....
I hope not! I've put it in already, but haven't plugged it up!
My temps are about the same as yours at the moment. It's just to be certain that I don't burn anything up like I did last year when my 2600+ fried because of the case temps and no sufficient way to blow cool air through the case ...even with both sides off, doors and windows open, and an 18inch fan blowing across my work area, it was still too hot in my house!
This year I intend to climb inside the case to keep cool!
