Mine ultimately fails to impress in the dark. The original configuration I ordered called for two extra neon fans; however, cyberpower informed me that they wouldn't be able to install them into my case. The one light in my case is located on the bottom, so naturally it only lights up the bottom...
And also, I apologize in advance for the bad picture.

The blue is cool as well, sometimes I like to switch off the red and the green and just game by night with only blue light. Also cool ^^dgutierrez32 wrote:

How fast do you get into BF2 servers with the four raptors?
i would imagine he get's in pretty fast. with my set-up below i am usually first or second. that and a fast cable connectionSup3r_Dr4gon wrote:

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
Here's my new computer I just built on a budget of $2000 CA. I got the best bang for my buck and I spent about 5 days total researching every part and comparing price and availability in Canada, and over clocking performance etc.
Intel e6600 2.4Ghz 4mb L2
Asus P5N32E-SLI Plus
Crucial Ballistix 2GB PC2-6400
2x Seagate 7200.10 320GB Sata II 16mb in Raid 0 (Western Digital = 2 year warranty, Seagate = 5 year, same price)
eVGA 8800 GTS 320mb
Antec TP3-650W
Antec P180 SE case
SB X-Fi XG
5x 120mm fans (3 come with case)
Zalman CNPS9500AT - Lighter over-clocking fan because I move my case every 2 weeks.
Sony G170S 18x DVD+RW SATA
Hauppauge USB-Live -> For Digital Camera as webcam
2x Thermaltake Extreme Spirit II North + Southbridge cooler
Arctic Silver 5, Arcticlean, Arctic Silver Alumina (permanent bond for mosfets)
Swiftech MC14 BGA ramsinks for motherboard mosfets
$2040 CA.
I've overclocked it now at 3.4GHz (I burned it in up to 3600 but no point in that much power until crysis comes out). The ram is running at 3-3-3-7 1T @ 730 Mhz. 1T timings at lower speed provide significant gaming improvement over higher overclock @ higher timings. I've overclocked the video card to 570/850 for 3D games for now. Later I plan to get the Zalman VF1000 for the 8800 series, as the thermalright HR-03+ only allows passive cooling in SLI.
I installed the northbridge and southbridge coolers + ramsinks to keep the motherboard cool as the nForce chipset runs extremely hot with passive cooling. The Zalman fan and the 2x 120mm fan right next to the cpu pull a lot of air over the passive mosfet heatsinks so they are quite ok. My room temperature is about 22C and my CPU is @33C while my mobo is @32C. I am very happy with this cooling.
The GeForce 8800 GTS runs at 54C. I turned its fan to 80% with RivaTuner by enabling lowlevel fan control, and I built the wind tunnel the Antec Case offers: 2x 120MM fan sucking air right onto the graphics card and north/south bridge. Very pleased with how this worked out. This case is great, but a fucking bitch to build. It took me about 5 hours to put it together decently. If you don't run the cables through the back you are not only stupid, but you will gimp the airflow design of the case.
Only complaints about this system build were: Antec Case lower fan is hard to fit your 4x harddrives and PSU cables, you have to think things out VERY CAREFULLY, but if you do it right it sure is nice. Also, the motherboard P5N32E-SLI overclocks very stably, but my complaint would be the ram settings are very picky when you first set-up your rig. I'd suggest going with OCZ ram for this mobo as it seems to have less compliancy problems. I couldn't get OCZ where I was on any short time frame though Also, the motherboard doesn't ship with rounded cables, which was really difficult for this mobo - I ended up taking my flat cables and zip tying them round and snipping the zip ties lol. Ghetto but it worked and looks OK. Plus this case has no window so I don't care - I just want the airflow to be good.
I was additionally pleased with how the Antec TP3 650W came with sleeved cables (The original version wasn't supposed to). A very nice feature to have in a case like this where cable running is an issue. I was also pleased at how easy it was to overclock this thing. I only had to up the Vcore twice and turn some shit off and it was running at 3.6GHz unstable (until I tweaked some shit). I never had to reset the cmos or crap my pants. The bios flashed easily too but I used awdflash in a bootable usb stick so that was nice and easy.
Here's some pics.
Unfortunately even a decent computer can't deal with lag issues. I had such bad connection problems the other night that my screen was upside down... lol.

Lmao. I'm guessing you went into the BF2 coding and made that message? That's classic XD
^ Nice gear! P182 I see.. I have the P180 - it's great.
I paid for the P180 and it came in a P180 box, but I also noticed it was the P182 SE and I was like oh well free upgrade lol. I wonder if Antec just gave up on making the P180s and just made the P182SE's as there is only minor changes. I was happily surprised to see the rear fan controllers and loss of the VGA hood etc.leetkyle wrote:

I don't want to get into yet another debate about this, but, possibly it's because 32bit DOES support 4GB. No matter what anybody (particularly Bertster) says.Bull3t wrote:
