quit being a dick


I commented on your media pc, said it looked great because it does and followed some discussion on fans in the thread. You don't seem to mind other people "derailing" your thread. If you don't want me to troll everything you post you might want to not start shit when I'm being civil.

edit:

I see, so when it's your thread everyone has to suck your dick and only talk to you and about what you want but in other threads you have no problem getting slightly off topic.

I have 4 of those in my computer already.

I just ordered another one for my side :D .

I have a total of 6 120mm fans in my computer + the one infront -_- .

Check the airflow/RPM when they are cranked up (they come with their own controller that's fucking awesome.)

So how much did all of this cost you in the end? Was it worth it?

$25 for a thermaltake fan is a bit much, thats $100 for 4 fans BEFORE tigers shipping

I guarantee you that scythe fans will perform better @ $11-12 each leaving you $50+ left over for a fan controller (full on 4-6-slot controller) AND blue cold cathodes

from newegg.ca
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185058



also normal 120mm fans wont fit in this case, as its a slim-micro-atx case and theres hardly any clearance for the 120mm x 12mm, the CPU fan/heatsink would get in the way

it was $450 or so in the end, considering that it does the job of a $200-300 blu-ray player, and a $200 DVR, as well as functioning as a PC, it was totally worth it

Almost exactly what I am going for with my computer. Nothing too expensive, but ready to be upgraded at any moment in time. Next thing I plan to do a big upgrade on is the Motherboard that I have. I bought a very cheap one, because I knew nothing about them at the time. I found a few that I liked on Newegg.com now.

I bought the EAH3450 because it was not too expensive, and it was by a brand I knew to be quality. I received it, and never looked back since installation. I would recommend this card to anyone looking to build a budget PC.
