petrossa Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 the prize for having something about as ghetto as one can have -- yep - want your trophy -- I'll go out to the back yard and follow my dog around for itSeriously - there is no reason for having something like that inside one's house - it doesnt matter that its a piece of flea-market junk -- that looks like you need a haz-mat suit just to use it Did you notice that the sata cable of one of the upright hd's is actually glued in? Was an new 500gb WD drive i bought for $5 because the sata connector was broken off.? Cost me next to nothing, stays cool, and hey best of all: it works?:laugh:h: phenom 9950, 8gb, 6 hd giving 2.5 tb wei 6.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first i'd hooked up a 2kW vacuumcleaner motor with the exhaust, but my wife give me some for the noise in the kitchen and i figured burning 2000w to cool a 140w CPU was a bit overdoing it. So now it has a ?714m3/hr extractor fan with a triac. it's 200 pound tensile strength polyester wire, they don't move much?:rofl:l: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalx Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 mines pretty poor. non modular psu cable wasn't long enough for my case so had to DIY extend the cables to plug it in and same goes for rest really all standard cables are too short to manage them really so looks like a mess through and through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red isolation tape all over the place. I also didn't have enough powerconnectors so i branched in a wiretree from a defunct computer. I also soldered a wire to the motherboard poweron pins and put a cantilever microswitch on my desktop. Easier to wake up/sleep just flick the switch.

hdood Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 You know there are facilities for mounting hard drives and fans inside a cabinet, petrossa. It just takes a few screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrossa Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 You know there are facilities for mounting hard drives and fans inside a cabinet, petrossa. It just takes a few screws. It has a bay for 4, but if i do that they heat up too much. So i have 2 in the hdbay, 2 next to the dvddrive and two upright with a small fan pushing air through the bays. Mounted like that they hover around 40? C, whilst before i'd the overheat protection shutting down my drives. It's nice in the winter, because the hot air expelled by the bathroom fan from the case warms my feet.:pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerFX Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Anyone ever heard of using pantyhose over your cpu's fan vents to keep dust out? I heard it once years ago but nobody is talking about it, wondering if anyone has done/recommends this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerade01 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 although its nothing compared to powerade's mess.What do ya'lls rooms look like ? Same just with clothes. Your point? I simply dont care about how the wiring is inside as long as the temps are great (which they are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_c_b Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Well, why not. There's little reason to waste money on overpriced crap. First, I don't see that many generic PSUs in this thread. I see mostly Antec, Corsair, FSP (which produces some respectable brands as well as some rubbish) and OCZ. Mostly pretty good stuff, only one or two true generics. Of my 3 machines, I have two Antec Earth Watts and one Corsair on my gaming rig. Second, I'd hardly call a good PSU a waste of money, and a smart investment long term. At the very least cheap PSUs are less efficient and waste more energy. And at most a cheap PSU can greatly shorten lifespan of your hardware, or die unexpectedly and leave you without a PC at the worst possible time.

Mega Goatlord Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 About half-way through this thread, I stopped looking at the systems themselves, as far as wiring goes, and started looking at the area in and around the systems themselves...

There's little reason to waste money on overpriced crap. Congratulations - you not only commited the biggest n00b mistake in system building If I wasnt on 100% warning - I'd say what I really thought - so I guess your eyes and ears and ego are going to get away this time. I guess Im just an idiot since I have more than 1 PC P&C, right ? I am using my 750W Silencer until my 910 Silencer gets here - I paid an extra $60 to have it custom-wired. As you can see PC P&C come with A LOT of cables. I didnt want to show the other panel where everything is hidden because its hard to put back on with the sound-deadening material on the panel. I sold my 1KW to someone -- GOOD RIDDANCE man that thing was so loud this was taken w/ my iPhone -- sorry for the crappiness Edited October 12, 2009 by TEX4S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
