Looks cool, ultra / chenming / antec very similiar... all good quality 8)

My gateway server and game machine - one used to be a "dx2-66" server and the other a PIII 500.

The game box again, after I gutted it and put in my PCP&C 510 ATX and the EVGA 7800GT w/ free EVGA 133-K8-NF41 deal for $330, was too hard to resist....
000_1771.jpg


Installed the nice evga IDE cables - well at least I don't have a side window... The sanyo denki "san ace" fan is noticeably wide here. Yes the fan at the bottom and on the power supply inside are zip-tied :lol: many, many zip ties since the power supply had a plethora of connectors - and the fan controller is a jungle inside the bay

The rear shot, my hacksaw skills are poor since I could not get the ATX rear i/o shield on there <shrug> you can see the fan controller rat's nest a bit. oh good the hacksawed portion isn't visible :wink:
000_1875a.jpg


All finished - gotta love the eye candy from the gatewatch...

The DX2 is now a dual PIII 1ghz linux box firewall / gateway / workstation - no pics, kinda boring...

awesome - X-nav's are really well made, I got mine for the internal HDD capacity for a fileserver - similiar to yours but w/ black and blue / gray / yellow swapable front panels.

my favorite is the one with the new parts still in the boxes 8) time to get busy 😛
 
When you get the rig the fan setup is thus

Front fan - Intake
Side fan - Exaust
2 Back Fan - Exaust
Top Fan - Exaust

I did switch the side fan so it was an intake which serves 2 purposes.

1 - Helps keep the vid card cool as well
2 - Creates more airflow becuase the single front fan doesn't pull air in fast enough.
 
Freakin Sweet Rig

My son's game box, and a great backup if my gateway is down for maintenance...

A64 3700 w/ CM hyper 48/Gigabyte GA-K8U-939/CM Centurion 5/FSP AX450-PN 450W/2x1gb Gskill DDR400 2-3-2-5/BFG6800GT/2x80gb/1xdvd,1xcd

CM Centurion 5 - quiet and cool.

Dropped in the PS, mobo and cpu w/ the heatsink.

000_1868a.jpg


man the FSP sure creates a rat's nest - Where the heck do I put all those wires?!? Glad I got that bulk pak of zip ties...
000_1869a.jpg


lotsa miles on that BFG... starting to hate that gpu fan - everything else is almost silent.
000_1870a.jpg


All done - first time in a while I have not had a personal build where I was not drilling or sawing out parts of the case to make things fit. Felt like something was missing...
 
I must say the Centurion (sp?) is an awesome case. I have one and i love it. It has amazing quality for a $50 dollar case and it has great ventilation thanks to its mesh front (just need to put a better 120mm in the back as the stock one is crap).

I will post picture of my setups tommorow.
 
uber/someguy - I could not agree more, it is definitly an excellent value for your dollar.

I thought I had some old pics of my X-nav file server - oh well I took a few new ones before heading out to work.

File / print server
P4 2.4 northwood/Tyan Trinity S2099GNN/Aspire X-Navigator w/ ATX-AS500W/2x512mb transcend DDR266 CL2/10xIDE hdds 80gb~300gb/2xpci ide raid/1xdvdrw,1xcdrw/1xcompaq pci sound
100_0014.jpg

It is tough to hide all the HDD wiring so why not make it look halfway presentable... braided cables and the sleeved power connectors helps a bit.
100_0015.jpg

I actually used all the connectors on the aspire 500w unit, and needed a few splitters at the bottom.
100_0016.jpg

Difficult to see, but the CPU heatsink needed some extra cooling, and the 60mm really could not keep up under full load - and I didn't have any P4 heatsinks at the time so I just grabbed a 60mm-80mm fan adaptor and an 80mm case fan I had laying around and created a dual fan heatsink - and it actually worked, was good for an extra 8 degrees cooler under full load.
100_0017.jpg

There is a ton of wiring hidden behind the drive bays, thank goodness :wink:
 
- all those hard create alot of heat i bet ..

you're not kidding, luckily 2 of the fan cages have a 60mm fan mount, it came with one at the bottom, I added the one above it and had to mod the case slightly to get the 3rd cage fan in there, and another to cool the drives in the 5 1/4 bays... so 8 fans total 8O 1 x 120mm, 3 x 80mm, 4 x 60mm - not exactly quiet, but keeps cool 24 x 7 - peace of mind 8)

This is my computer, proudly seated next to my lovely (but messy) antique desk.

The belly of the beast. Try not to look at the mess of cables.

Just in case you wanted to see my CPU cooler

Ok here is my setup. But first here are my specs.

XFX 7800gt (factory oc to 450/1100ish)
AMD 3700
2gb of Patriot-mem at 2-3-2-5
ASUS A8N-E
Seagate 160gb sata hard drive
Coolermaster Centurion
Antec Neo power 480watt

(all the following pictures can be expanded by clicking on them.

My setup in all its mixed up glory. (you will see what i mean by mixed up in a second)



Here is the front of my case, and yes that is a floppy drive. (i took the picture sideways)



Here are the guts of my rig. Although the cables look poorly routed most of them are out of the path of the airflow.



Here is a good overveiw of the interior.



Here is why i call my computer mixed up. That monitor is an old monitor form a gateway 2000 (max res 1280x960), and those speakers are an old set of Altec Lansings I bought at a tag sale for $15 four years ago.



But i wouldnt change anything about my computer (well unless someone handed me an FX60)

To the above poster. If you want to post a pic you need to upload it to a file sharing website like http://www.imageshack.us/ and then you just copy the link that says thumbnail for forumss.
 
Well image hosting is free, here are a few to try... http://www.flickr.com/ http://www.photobucket.com/ and someone mentioned http://www.imageshack.us/ it is cool it creates the tags in different formats for you when you upload the image - too convenient!
