I need to move my A/C to my other window for cooler stuff, and then move my computer again.

Thats what I had to do...just make sure that the A/C is fully to the left of the case....that way...the A/C hits side and underside of case....but not the rear...if that happened...it would cause the vid card, PSU, and rear exhaust fans to sorta back-up, or not exhaust as well....due to the fact that the A/C is so much stronger.

Yo ghot, you need to upgrade that monitor brah.

Keep in mind that the CASE really helps....I'm now 2C below ambient....well that's prolly not entirely true...comp is closer to A/C that the apt. thermostat is


Naw my old eyes like CRT's especially this one..it's a gfg CRT....Viewsonic Graphic Series G90f

I use viewsonic! Ive got 4 of their lcd monitors, though. well, 3 now. just gave one away to a good friend who needed a decent system.

what case is that ghot?

its weird, I live (as I've said) in an efficiency apt. built in 1908 with no insulation....front room is living/bedroom, middle is thermostat, bathroom and closets...and back is huge kitchen. Now since the A/C is in (the front room)...when i walk back to the kitchen it's like goin to the beach...the front room startin to feel like a ski resort lol



Coolermaster 840 ATCS 24" x 24" x 9.5"

best part besides all the fans....the entire motherboard tray is on ball bearing slides...take out 4 thumb screws and it comes completely out of the case...WITH the CPU cooler and the vid card(s) still attached...ofc you have to unhook al the wires...AND it is totally screwless...BUT if ur doing all air cooling...you must block the unused mesh areas on the back of case, or the 2x 230mm fans on top, just suck the hot exhausts, right back into case.



YES, I've cleaned the fans since this pic was taken...even so, that dust if from two years plus.....all the intakes have plastic washable filters...easy to remove. To give you real idea of size of this case...thats a full ATX motherboard...the case will also take E-ATX as well.

This case and the Corsair 800D are almost Identical...except for the awesome motherboard tray slide out with all the componets still attached
Both the Coolermaster 840 and the Corsair 800D...are also designed to allow plenty of room etc., for full watercooling setup.

If you look at the schematic pic above, that whole rear area with the handle just rolls right out of case...4 large thumb screws are all that holds it in....CPU cooler, vid card etc., all come along for the ride. Oh, also those huge 230mm fans come out in like 2 mins if you want to really clean them.

Here's the manufacturer's product page if you want more info and pics....

..and the temps still dropping...I may have to make Icecream with this thing lol
while there is no real load on this right now...I am in D2 and on here, with about 4-5 tabs open. AND I got a decnt CPU cooler...but there are many better ones out there, than what I have

LOL...I bet when I wake tomorrow morning, my CPU be down to like 22-23C....even tho...on my motherboard it's the MCP ya gotta keep an eye on...that 980a chip (not chipset) has max temp of 60C...then it's meltdown time...and since that's my north and south bridge (all in one)...prolly wouldn't be a good idea to test the max temp :/
