Too small for me coming from 2 x 20"s, I'd get a better 27" but the budget for my new build is escalating out of control quickly and I'd rather not skimp on that.

Just ordered the Viewsonic, as said the reviews are a bit hit and miss but I've got faith in it.

What are you guys rocking with? I've currently got 2 x 20" Widescreen Samsungs but Windows has never really supported it that well and games even less so. With the addition of a Blu-Ray drive in my new machine I'm thinking its better to go with a single bigger monitor and was thinking of...

I've ordered another Gentle Typhoon for the lower HDD bay and a Lamptron FC5 V2 fan controller.

I think it's a lot harder to make a red system look good.

Nope, all dependant on the motherboard & GPU, it's looking pretty certain that the GPU will be the EVGA GTX 580 Watercooled version, which doesn't seem to have very much of any particular colour. At the moment my current thinking is wait until the GPU comes out (supposed to be the end of the...

lol, they are still spot on tbh.

I've finished spraying them matt black, one of them is already fitted (don't have time now to take pics) but here they are painted: They look 100% better IMHO

I've got the Xbox one with a WheelStandPro, for the money the Xbox one is really good, definitely recommend one. Sure, you can get better wheels but at a much higher price.

G25 is definitely not supported by Xbox.

For the time being I'm going to spray the fans matt black and go with them underneath, I may later on add more fans to the top to pull but will see.

Ok yeah, appears I've been given duff advice: I'll re-think this, but I'll either fit more fans underneath or just fit them underneath going up into the radiator.

Pulling air into the radiator, they are good fans as well, virtually silent.

Radiator & Fans

cheers guys, this is the boring stuff as well tbh, can't wait until the real components start going in.

Another Update, the results from the sleeving I've managed to get done this weekend, made good progress considering I've never done it before and thankfully didn't make too many mistakes. Fans Before & After : I've also done 2 out of 3 of the standard Corsair fans but have no...

No not yet ( none of the components have been bought yet, I'm waiting to see what happens with Sandy Bridge and the CORE i7 CPUs ), but the motherboard will definitely clear the reservoir. The original plan was to go for an ATI 6990 but I'm pretty sure unless they are shorter than the 5970...

Another delivery, this time from a well respected PC Builder/Modder from Germany. MDPC-X MDPC-X Tools PC Building Tool Kit (Bitspower fittings, various black screws, washers, fan connectors & cable clips Sleeving & Shrink Sleeving Got a lot of work to do...

Ah yes, one of the reasons I'm not rushing it tbh. I want it to be able to last and don't want to have to be taking it apart all the time to check it over and clean it, so I'm being careful how it's setup and what components I use.

cheers mate, I'm looking at introducing a watercooled 580 GTX as well now.

I went and got the £25 + 2100 MS points deal this morning @ Tesco

Another update, I've now fitted the first parts of the tubing (fillport > reservoir & reservoir > pump) I've also finally bought all the fittings required and the Gentle Typhoon 120mm fans (1450rpm) for the radiator, these need to be sleeved and possibly sprayed before being fitted though...

yeah I've got one also.

I just missile'd the lot of them, but granted it took a few attempts.

I'm not that impressed with Maria, don't use it often. I love my sniper rifle though, me and Boone go hunting Powder Gangers and Legionaires to blow their heads off with it.

Yeah I was going for the 6990 but have realised I'm probably not going to fit one in due to the reservoir! So will have to opt for something else. I presume the 580 will be a lot smaller? It's either that route or 2 x 6890s etc

Another small update. The mission was simple, to replace all the screws that were silver for black items. One problem was the M4 nuts (on the pump base & reservoir clamps), as it seems to be impossible to buy them from anywhere in black so I ended up spraying them myself, pretty pleased with...

Where does the AM Rifle come from?

lol, I literally have just done that also. Tore them all a new a-hole Cookie-Style.
