8x 1.5 TB drives? Wouldn't it have been cheaper to get 6 2 TB drives?Quote:

The Case is awesome, has a 140mm blue LED Front intake, and a 140mm top exhaust, and a 120mm back exhaust. The top can accommodate another 140/120mm, and the Side panel can take another two 140/120/90/80 mm fans.
I think there's another mount on the bottom of the chassis, but its partially blocked by the hard drive cage. CM say in the manual that you can either use that as an area for a radiator, Or above the Top fans, which is the preferred location.
No worries about the late reply, hope you had a good time over the festive season! I bought most of my stuff from Sybaritic as we just wnated to pay for the stuff one time and I think I got a pretty good deal, mine was 11.8K incl. VAT.Quote:

Is there a converter for this to the 3 pin, to the 2 pin of the fans? It's not too important as I haven't OCed my rig and I was on the PC on one of the hottest days here when it reached 36C! And it worked perfectly! Cheers.
Purchased MOST this setup April 2010
CPU: Intel Core i5 750
RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333 (2x 2GB) Kingston
GPU: Powercolor AMD Radeon HD 5770 GB
MB: Asus P7P55 LX
Case: Coolermaster 310 Elite - Orange Trim
PSU: Gigabyte ODIN 585W
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
HDD: 320GB SATA2, 250GB SATA2, 500GB External USB 2.0 (came from old rig)
Sound: Logitech G51
Keyboard & Mouse: Microsoft Wireless Desktop 5000
Screen: Samsung 226BW LCD (bought in 2007)
What surprises me is almost none of my components prices have dropped over the last 10 months. My screen is from 2007 so that makes sense that there is a lot better but when it comes to entry level systems I don't see much better a price. :eek:
Towards the middle of this year I would probably need to look at a new entry level graphics card, an some more ram toward the end. Otherwise I think this CPU will hold its own for some time to come.
Hey, check out http://www.sybaritic.co.za I have very similar parts to you and I paid 11.8K. Note, this was including a screen (24", full 1080p) and keyboard and mouse and mouse pad.Quote:

What do you guys think about biostar mobos. Upgrading to a biostar p67 build 2600k prob ocing to 4ghz
I had a P965 or something. First one's PCI slots died, second one's IDE died, third one had random crashes when I tried to use my 4870x2 but was fine with a GTX275, so I bought an abit p43 to replace it. Now I'm on a gigabyte x58a-ud3r and I realised why everyone says you should spend a bit extra on your mobo or suffer the consequences.Quote:

DOn't listen to Densweep he is talking BS.
Biostar is by far the premier manufacturer of computer equipment. From Motherboards, to VGA cards BIOSSTAR is THE best out there.
Oh hang on a moment got Jessica Alba on the phone, be right back.

Quick Question, how did you do that? Just upgrade the flash?Quote:

Hey,
Don't know about the 5850, but the 6950 is an underclock 6970, the only difference between the cards, physically, is that the 6970 has an 6 and 8 pin power connections and the 6950 only has 2x 6pins.
I downloaded the bios of a 6970, flashed my card with it and changed the gains in CCC to +20.
3D Mark 11 went up from 4900+ to 5400+, can't remember exact figures.
Ah ok because I read up on flashing a 5850 but there is a physical difference in the cards, apparently, which is 1200 stream processors. And apparently flashing it causes problems. Don't know how true that is though. Never know how technically adept some of the people are on internet forums lol :D
