Oh BTW, tests have shown that exhaust-only cases are actually the most efficiently cool. From a physicists point of view it's simple, as long as there is a hole or opening where air can flow through, as air is being taken out of the case, osmosis put room temp. air into the case from the opening. Intake fans just speed up the process. But like I said, the most efficient, i.e., most cooling with least fans.

true, but i do like the way my Lian-Li is set up the hdd are right in front of a 120mm intake fan and it really does keep the hdd like 5-10 deg F cooler, other than that I agree

just to add you need to have more fans blowing out than in to keep the flow going

Here is my home build.water cooling not required on the new 7900 gtx gpu's they never get above 50c in this setup.Please note no soundblaster cards they caused me more trouble than they were worth.

Hi Jack.
Thanks,but the jpeg is to show that most people can build a pc these days.They just require the the money and the will to try.that is what I did. As they have been advised in the other posts you get what you pay for and the most expensive is not always the best for your use,so if you want to build your own pc, post on this site what you are going to use it for and I am sure some of the more experience people will help sort out the right case and parts.

I never have.
I've shocked my newest mobo (my DQ6) 3 times so far.
I shocked my last computer 7 times.
Nothing happened after I did it... except I had to flash the bios.
am I just lucky or is the whole shock thing just overdone?

Hi Jack.
What I use his a 13amp plug UK type 3pin I just connect the cable wires to the earth/ground
pin, plug it in and let the other end with the wires peeled back hang over my case while I work on it you are always moving it out of the way so you are always free from static.

eh, i'm still not worried about it.
when I fry a board i will be more cautious, but untill then whatever.

Just a quick question about cooling a system.

I do know that to get the maximum airflow, one needs more exhaust fans than intake fans. I even set up my own system this way. It is just simple common sense.

In a system were overheating is not a problem, I read in an internet article that said to do the opposite. It stated that having more intake fans will increase the air pressure inside the case and make it harder for dust to collect. Just curious if anyone has ever tried this. My system depends to much on air flow to keep it cool, so I am kind of scared to try it. (Go figure, its an intel processor.)

someone is thinking too much they are thinking of pressurized enclosures in dusty environments to keep dust out, but in the case of a pc you are sucking tons of air into the case so his reasoning is flawed.

best thing to do is to keep an eye on your pc inards, clear side door has other uses than just lighting effects

Hi Brum.
I have never heard of that one Dust seems to be able to collect on the fan guards when the are blowing through it.I use filters on my 120mm intake fan And clean it about twice a week.
It is amazing were it all comes from.

if you have allergies, cough, cough, the doctor tells you all about how disgusting what looks like clean air is, pollution, dust mites, mold spores, pollen, pet dander, your own dead skin flakes, etc., I know....you can puke now
