Your welcome, the only problem I have with the case is that the max rad thickness for the top is 30mm and it could have had another fan or two included but other than that its perfect for the price

Hey Kiaxa... Any hopes of pushing it beyond stock with the hyper 212. A bit curious as to how the little APU performs?

Yes, once I get enough free time to tinker

Jesus, butts, that is sexy. Here I was, feeling good with my new PSU and tidying up my cables a bit.

Put me to shame.

Here's my specs

FX-6300 @ 4.2 GHz

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus

MSI 760GMA-P34 (FX)

Crucial Ballistix tactical 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz

EVGA GTX 760 with ACX cooler

Corsair CX750 PSU

Rosewill Galaxy case. It's a piece of garbage, but cheap as hell. You don't want pics.

and some 1TB seagate drive.

I built it back in February. All of my money went to the 760 since the 270s were about the same price back then (Damn bandwagon miners looking for a get rich quick. Other enthusiast miners stay chill.) If I knew I was going to have more money after a month I would have put a lot more into the case and mobo.

I'd love to get a proper mobo and OC to maybe 5+ GHz. I was surprised at the performance gains I got with my OC.

This is my very first PC:

Was built in 2003-2005.

Specs were:

CPU: P4 3.0 Northwood

Motherboard: Asus p4p800 then Asus P4c800E-deluxe

Memory 512mb?PC3200 kingston Value Ram?

Videocard: 9500pro 128mb upgraded to an X800pro256mb

Harddrives: 120gig WD Raptor@ 10,000RPM and a pair of 250MB WD Cavs. (I think?)

Soundcard: Audigy 2 ZS

Case: Aspire Super Alien

Powersupply: 500W Aspire PSU that fried my first MB, Then Swapped to an Antec 550W then to a Enermax 650W noisetaker.

CPU cooler: No Idea of the name but it was honestly purchased for the Blue LED's and cause it looked cool

Computer brings about alot of Nostalgia, I learned alot from this bad boy from why value ram is crap, to why an offbrand powersupply can be a really bad idea.

Next Computer: Early 2006

CPU: AthlonX2 4400+

Motherboard: Asus A8NSLI-Premium

Videocards: 2X 7800GT 256mb

Memory: 2gbKingston HyperX PC3200

Harddrives: 120GB WD SATA Raptor, 2X 500GB WD SATA Cav's

Case: Recycled the Aspire from above put old components into a Raidmax Scorpio

PSU: Recycled the 650W Noisetaker

CPU cooler: I don't remember the name but it looked like a Jet engine

This computer ran all the way up until 2 years ago when my nieces killed it with cereal...

Next Computer My current Machine:

CPU: I7 950, running stock

CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugan Rev 2... Replaced by Corsair Hydro H80

Motherboard: Asus X58 Sabretooth

Memory: 12GB of Kingston HyperX 12,600 DDR3

Videocards: XFX Radeon 6870 2gb X2 in crossfire

Harddrives: OCZ Vertex 2 120gig SSD, 2X WD 1TB Black @ 7200RPM, 1X Seagate 2 TB @7200RPM

PSU: Silverstone Stridergold 1000W PSU

Case: NZXT Phantom full tower

Had a few issues with my CPU cooler Bending pins on my motherboard and having to straighten them with the old mechanical pencil trick. Ultimately after 2 incidents of this occuring I swore off big ar altogether.

Ordered the following today: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/cyLFK8

I know I know people are saying I should have waited, but my very understanding significant other said buy it now before she changes her mind. Also I wanted G-Skill Memory, and a Kracken X60 but not in stock and I didn't want to deal with more then 1 retailer so I looked for an acceptable substitute. Kingston HyperX has never done me wrong, and I'm running a Corsair H80 right now so I think it'll be okay.

my new system started like this:

I like to build my systems on an old TV stand I've had for years because it enables me to spin it around rather then walk around or flip it over when wiring.

Blurry picture...

The horror show which is behind the pack panel.

All Closed up

And in its new home.
