Yes it does.. I used a Chieftec Dragon DX midi-tower case.
With a little simple modding (if needed), It'll fit in most cases. Well, it should fit in any midi-tower case. Desktop cases might not be as easy though :/.
Yes, watercooling is for overclocking and it beats air-based coolers by far. You'll get a relatively low temp and it wont go up much even when OC'ed, which means you'll get a more stable system.. Same thing when cpu is idle or in full load (my cpu temp differs like 2-3c from idle to full load...
I have a new watercooling system now so I thought I should get rid of the old stuff. Although, it's not really that old.. It's all in real good condition and with this kit you should be able to OC both cpu and gpu quite a bit... Really nice quality system that has done me lots of good...
I think this question would feel more at home in a forum like Head-Fi.
But for my personal recommendation I would say Sony Eggo MDR-D66 or one of the closed Sennheiser models.. PXC250 maybe?.
I have the D66 Eggos myself and they are excellent with a portable headphone amp like the super-mini.
Don't think it was the paste.. But anyway, congrats on the new stuff mate :cheers: .. Glad it worked out for you, 35c idle is pretty good.. Certainly better then before :)
That looks like a crappy system.. If you want some advice on good watercooling systems, I could help you out.
The hardest thing about fitting watercooling in your case is to find a good spot for the radiator. You might have to mod it a bit and drill some holes or even cut it open some how...
I've already brought this card up... Pay attention!
The Revolution card is much better when it comes to music editing and even music listening. But it'll eat your cpu like crazy when playing games.. It's not the cards fault, rather the poor drivers.. Who knows, maybe in the future if M-Audio...
Yeah well PCWorld gave it 2 out of 5..
Personally I've owned some different sound cards and in my experience SB cards are best for gaming, while other cards like M-Audio Audiophile 2496 or the cheaper Revolution card might be better for music listening.
Terratec make some decent sound...
I have a Samsung SyncMaster 1200NF (22").. I love this damn thing, one of the best buys I've ever made.
I had a NEC/Mitsubishi 22" before this one and it was horrible. I had it replaced twice, then switched to Samsung. The picture quality of the NEC monitor was always a bit blurry, the size...
Most reviews speak against this card. I have no personal experience with it but from what I've read.. This is some thing you should keep away from.
Mullinator.. Id stick with Soundblaster based cards if I were you.
Ok, I would be happy to.. but you wont have any use of them since their all in Sweden, where I live.

Actually I think the xp 2400+ might even get warmer then P4 3GHz.. AMD Athlon processors run much hotter then Intel Pentium in genarall. I know how warm my 2000+ gets.. And from what I've heard about OCing capabilities on the higher range p4 processers with air cooling, I highly doubt that p4...
If you mean the Asetek Vapocill kits, they can be purchased in lots of other places.. No need to order any of the stuff they have when it's all the way from Australia. I can't find one single thing on that site that I can't get here.
The prices are ok, but with shipping I'm sure the stuff...
No you wont damage them... You know rounded cables are made with the same principal as flat ones. If you think rounded cables are too expensive, but still don't want the flat ones to stop the airflow in your case, then why not make your own rounded cable out of the flat one. There is a site that...
uhm, I'm not sure I understand the question but.. Why wouldn't it be? Besides, it depends on what heatsink your talking about, but most heatsinks sold today can cool up to at least 2400+
Some case fans tend to make a electrical humming noise when you down the voltage.. But if your not planing on doing that you should just check out the specs for every case fan you are considering. Combining dbA and CFM specs.. You don't want it to be too loud, neither do you want it to push too...
mwahaha! So glad I'm not a kid anymore. Well, not legally anyway ;)
But my parents have always respected my decision if I wanted to buy some thing with my own money. All except for guns, they would not let me get a softair gun.. This kid in my neighbourhood that was like 3 years younger then...
