Yes, it´s an intake aimed at the cpu fan, it´s not an exhaust pipe . and indeed it keep your CPU a bit cooler, I use them too in my cheap a** 40US$ cases .

I used to use an intake pipe on mine too, although it was a little more ghetto (old peanut can ). A while ago I got fed up with the noise and ripped everything out, mounted it on a board and stuck it up on a beam in the basement. I converted my DVDRW to a USB unit and routed all my cables through the floor. Now it's in the cool basement and I hear nothing but silence.

I like that.. It's seriously more weird than I am..

No, I like taxying down the runway in my 747. Maybe I can watch the inflight movie. If I could hear it. I always wanted to watch movies on a little screen and in an uncomfortable office chair. Must get VISTA with the built in Media Center.

Maybe I should get one of these?

You're right, if the fan is blowing on the CPU, then it's a sucker, and not a blower.

Yes, buy one of those and throw your money away on something you will never use . IBM introduced those CPUs on the Cbit I think. Are you going to write your own OS like for the XBox360 again? It will NOT run windows like you use it on your small rig.

Muwahahaha....

You guys are really starting to freak me out.

I got the last of my parts in the other day so my box is complete after 4 months of saving money to order here and there. Last of the parts were the ram, cathodes, and sata adapters for my old ata drives. Removed the 80gig drive and added the audigy gamer from my old computer. Also gave the logitech mx1000 to my wife, i never could get used to it. Put my dvdrw in external enclosure to use on different computers. This computer should last me a few years till i build a new one for vista after it's been out a while Final pictures sorry about the crap quality, my nikon 2200 isnt up to par anymore:

ripken you wont believe me if i say how much i paid for that.only 20$ and i know its not standard especialy for sli.but as i said before in one of my topics in here cause of america corporations and companies from out of asia doesnt work with iran and do not support us.i even got my zalman fand from thailand(my brother went to a trip there).that is the best power avaliable here.

finally decided to take pics of my cleaned up case
and as you can see, ive removed my ream from from my powerstream and i have a 92mm fan mounted right between the hdd bay and the psu. the psu fans are just kinda loud and this fan give me better airflow and less noise. i also have a fan in fron of the hdd bay.

I will try to fit in time to get some pics of the inside of my computer.

The next build i do, I'm getting that same case. I should have gotten the p180 instead of this flimsy lanboy but i wanted a good case with a window, never had a window before

Nice!, I had one of those fans set up on my old 66GT, brill fans!

Nothing much has changed just moved my case to the left side (dont ask) and got my new zen micro










hope the size is ok

This is an old picture of a P2-233. It used to be my router for my cable-modem internet connection. This was before Linksys, Netgear, etc. made comodity routers. It was Linux and ran Squid cache, DNS caching, DHCP, ipchains firewall, etc.

well my dad still uses a p2 350mhz... runs amazing with my nlited xp

If it runs 'amazing', then why don't you swap your opteron 170 @ 2.6ghz for his p2?

-John

lol, for what he does it runs very well. and whats funny is that it runs faster than the p4 2.8ghz comps at my school which are not nlited, but im thinking of doing something about that when i get to be the network administartor

when u log into the comp, it should not freeze on you...

lol, to right mate!

I've been able to install an nlited version on our school computers, testing it atm,running totally sweet, MP10 integrated, loads of the crap you dont need on a school comp removed, very nice!

well even stuff like the games that come with windows... my school installed the basic windows on a computer and installed the programs it needed, edited some stuff, then ghosted it, then installed to all of the other comps over the network. now there is just a bunch of stupid stuff they did like for the games i was talking about, they deleted the game .exe's from the windows folder but not the shortcuts.... or they could easily have used nlite. they just have no clue what they are doing since my school just got xp this year, 2000 rly sucked.

that sucks, here we hate orphan shortcuts, looks really messy. Our computers are totally secured as well, the user only sees the programs we ant them to use, they cant get into areas we dont want them to.

heres my current computer setup, i hope you guys like them. i know i do!

Desktop : AMD Athlon XP 1800+, 640MB Ram, 80GB HDD, ATi Radeon 7000 64MB, 19 Inch SAMSUNG SyncMaster 913V, Logitech Mouse Keyboard wireless combo thingy. Windows XP Pro Retail. (may not be super fast or w/e, but it does the job for me.)









Laptop 1 : DELL Inspiron 7000 PII 366, 192MB Ram, 40GB HDD, ATi Rage Pro 8mb, Windows XP Pro OEM, 15 inch LCD (got this computer free from a bin ready to go in the garbage.)



Laptop 2 : DELL Inspiron 7000 PII 366, 192MB Ram, 12GB HDD, ATi Rage Pro 4mb, Windows XP Pro OEM, 14 inch LCD (this computer was on a bench with a huge melt mark in the display and it also had what appeared to be a coke or something poored inside it, other than that it works fine. i have only one working battery however, need another one soon.)

what the hack is that huga? why you people treat your computers like that? makes me sad.

heh, my system(s) (im in need of a case as you can tell):


sorry for the poor image quality

first system (no case):
p4 ht 3.8 ghz
768 mb ddr2 sdram
300 gb sata disk drive
dvd+/-rw drive
windows xp pro retail/windows 98se (u)sp2.1
and a crappy video card (ran out of money)

laptop:
not mine, i never got a look at it. something old though, win 2k.

2nd system:
amd athlon xp 2400+
512 mb ram
80 gb hdd
cd-rw
windows xp pro
nvidia geforce fx5600

i have another laptop and 2 more desktops, but my cam isnt working now, those pics are old.

Got some new pics of my new cpu fan:

@PS-
Lol, those are the same as my old Dell speakers that I gave to my girlfriend because whenever I listen to music, I wear headphones. Small world, eh?

PS-how hot does that dell run? im just wondering b/c its so small

^ it runs pretty good, games wise its alright i can run HL2, CS, BF1942, and stuff like that. But if you want to upgrade it, forget it...

Well This is My PC


Pentium IV D805 , 2.66Ghz, 533Mhz, 2Mb Caché, SSI3, Dual Core

Intel D945GNTL

DVD Sony 16x Dual Layer Black

This is Old but....it showz something

ur a smoker!? do u have any clue what smoking can do to your computer!

Hehehe, naaaaa that's when i bring the pc to my place, and the ashtray was there...i dunno smoke when i use my pc

Not my fault if the photos are so blurry : my computer is so fast that it makes every picture of it blurry.






My graphic card, with its heatsink (the shiny thing is a MMC card):


Rear:


Pretty big but quiet.
52°C idle.






CPU @ 41°C fast idle. 51°C after 10 minutes of Prime95, not (yet) overclocked.

Single channel for your RAM? Why that?

No, dual.
And just checked mobo's manual.

Ah, okay . Nice screen, a BENQ, I have 10 of them here (FP71G+S) .

ya i just noticed that too. almost all boards have the dual channell setup for slot (1+3) or (2+4) but occasionaly you find boards where its (1+2) and (3+4). just some stupid crap.

As far as I'm concerned, there's no difference : I always read manuals.

My first notebook: (still using it from time to time)
Compaq Armada 6500 6300/T/6400/D/M/3
Mobile 6500 Expansion Unit
Armada 6500 Convenience Base

Mine:

Whoooooo......

AAAaaaaa......

How much did you pay for it? And it looks like a 10 cored system... so powerfull and uses even less then 0.0001W...

A 80-bit computer!

I got it when i was 6. Back in 1980!!!! Present from my dad.
