    @pinkusagi, please visit the MMO-Champion CPU Overclock leaderboards thread that you can see in my siggy, you'll know what to do.

    Alright, went to town a bit. Though I plan to get some of the better thingies I can stick to my desk to hug the cables to my desk and hide them better, though this is certainly a vast improvement!!

    Before:



    After:

    Put 3 cleverly located nails in place to hold it right there. Had no dual-sided velcro or anything.






    Still have to figure out how to best manage all the bloody cables behind computer, we have the computer's power cable, an audio cable, two video cables, a few USB cables at least, Ethernet cable, you get the idea, lots of stuff.




    Gasp... where's the cables? The Ethernet cable barely touches the floor now!


    Thurr be dem cables:


    Beer bottles with two drumsticks that have mallets on one end.... lol
    "A flower.
    Yes. Upon your return, I will gift you a beautiful flower."

    The 600T doesn't natively support fans this size, no. Although it does have room for it unmodded, you need to at a minimum drill four holes for top and bottom screws on the top and bottom fan respectively. (The middle screws can be screwed into the mesh, as it's perfectly spaced for it, lol.)

    However, before I installed my new fans in the front I opted to properly mod the front so both fans could be screwed in properly. For that reason, I cut down from the 5.25" bays to not far below the original fan mesh and installed a fan grill I had originally intended to use.

    Hate is such a strong word :-(

    I ordered mine 00:08 on the 4th. Didn't actually expect to get it until August, but they were surprisingly fast. Just bought home stuff for it so will play around with it this weekend.

    So I got a text yesterday. A guy I know was selling a computer for 10k NOK (roughly $1k in computer components) and was asking if I knew someone interested. I directed him to a RL friend of mine, we made the purchase, etc.

    Specs are as follow:
    Intel i7 3770k
    w/ Antec Kühler h20 somethingsomething-identical-to-H80
    Asus Z77 Sabertooth
    G.Skill Trident 16GB (4x4GB) 2400MHz
    OCZ Max IOPS 120GB
    MSI Lightning GTX 680
    Seasonic X-850
    Corsair 500R

    I wish I could give you pictures, but I turned out to have extremely shaky hands today, apparently... So it's all a blurry mess lol.

    Of course, we have our lads of OCZ doubters in the ranks here on the forum... Not to worry y'all, the SSD turned out to be faulty and bluescreening. Or at least we think it's the source of the bluescreens thus far. After much hassle, we've so far not been able to confirm it one way or the other. Updated firmware, checked other stuffs, etc.

    So until Monday he's going to keep borrowing the computer he has for a while, which has an i5 2500k and GTX 560ti for comparison.

    Sorry. 10k NOK. Which is about ~$1k when talking computer parts.

    I despise my desk. >_< It is bloody small and doesn't have much room at all. Don't buy it, you'll be sorry. But I got it at Staples.

    Antec Kühler series are all Asetek units while the H80 is from CoolIT. So can't be identical :P
