[cHoLoCoY]

hahahahaha,.....

[Shine]

Opps! Your right cHoLoCoY, they do only come in black I guess I was thinking of something else. My bad

So about my rad/fan situation, do you guys think I should keep it in the case (stealth like) or outside the case? I have been noticing more watercooled cases doing this and their looking pretty radical in a cool way Maybe it makes it run cooler. Anyhow, if I decide to go outside the case I may do it in this fashion.

Any thoughts guys.

thats looks pretty tight,....
u could do that or,... hide it,.. make it look real clean,.... stock,...

wat case is that there using,... dat looks clean,... and it also looks like the G5

[fatsu]

i'll go for the stealth thing only if the difference in temp between putting the radiator outside and putting it inside is not that much. . .

[EvilClown]

korek! fatsu's ryt! if the diff. is minimal go for the clean smooth outlook.. if you put it on sthe outside it looks so bulky..

[koto]

thnx @shine for the info
is it cheaper if i buy in the us comp. stores or online?
my dad is going there this september, and planning to ask one of this i there

[kobmat]

If i where id get another 120 GB SATA drive and set it up RAID 0.. put your system files there.. that should speed up things up in term of transfer speed
