Took some time tonight to clean up the inside of my pc. One thing is apparent - I NEED a new case. One with a bottom mounted PSU and cable routing tray behind the motherboard.

for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
correct me if i'm wrong but aren't PSU's supposed to be mounted on top? Don't they exhaust air? With the air inside your case heating and rising upward you'd want a powerful fan (e.g. a PSU fan...) at the top pushing it all out? Instead of a fan on bottom exhausting cool air...

A bottom mounted PSU works fine. It exhausts it's own heat out the bottom of the case and allows clear airflow from front case fans to flow through the case and be exhausted by case fans at the top/rear.
It also frees up the top of the case for larger radiators etc for water cooling systems.

corsair 650d is better
Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
the fractals are really good too.
nzxt is only £35

Oh, I missed who was buying when I said that.
Honestly Camm, save your money for something better. Don't compromise on your case and get yourself a big tower - you won't regret it. Having a big tower not only offers you room for upgrades in the future but also gives you all the air space that you can possibly need. The same air space gives you lots of room for your hands when you're fiddling around in your case, too.Camm wrote:

I've got a full tower case just now but it's too big and too heavy.CapnNismo wrote:

Do you go to LAN parties often?
Planning on it. I'd like to be able to cart my desktop around, and this case prevents that. I've read a few reviews of the 210 elite and everyone says its a bargain.CapnNismo wrote:

What bout the Bitfenix Survivor? It has a carrying handle for that.Camm wrote:

What part is taxed the most when attempting to FRAPS gameplay?
I'm pretty sure my PC should be able to handle it but it just doesn't seem to want to.

If you've got a good CPU and video card then the most likely problem is probably your hard drive.PigPopTart wrote:

Ideally you should have a hard drive that is at least 7200RPM (best options are WD Black, Samsung F3 etc). It's also best if you have fraps installed on one hard drive and record onto another. This seems to have a very large impact on fps in fraps and fps stability.
You will also probably want to change your in-game settings (lower AA, graphics quality) so that you are getting as much pre-fraps fps as possible (without your eyes bleeding from the ugliness obviously).
I have an i5 2500k @ 4.3ghz and an xfx6870 1gb.
HD is a caviar black 750GB.
I turned the gfx to high and it runs between 45-60fps when not recording. Unfortuneatly I only have 1 internal HD.
