Modded PCs

Hey Stig are those Itrigue Speakers really good? I mean if the sound is cool and clear, I like them

Be caute with fans, my new PC is now in the shop because the CPU fan was too bad, and had to rotate at 5000+ rpm to keep the CPU at 50Âº. 5000+rpm makes a very loud sound, the normal is about 2800-3200rpm They said me now have installed a better one (and it is cheaper! 20$ instead of 50$) I have also installed a fan in my HDD. Nowadays PCs are really to the limit, it is too difficult to keep a good temperature. When I was 10 YO a PC only needed 1simple fan

About neons: It is no logical to put 20neons, unless you ar a PC-ricer or you want to convert your room into a starwars environment

. I want to buy a good steering wheel and it would be cool to put a blue neon near the pedals. What do you opine? I also have to change the case because the one that choosed my father is too ugly and white. I love Alienware cases but they are not available (you have to buy the whole PC)

Edited: Here is my PC. The case is out as I have said you I wanted to use my HiFi Speakers but I have to buy a bigger cable and all that, so I will keep my ugly-white ones. With the money you see in the table (euros) I will buy some new things and later I will post my final PC

@stereo: yep good eyes m8 it is a linksys, works like a charm.

@dani: The Creative speakers work perfect for my comp. sound is nice and they look good, the subwoofer has enough punch to make your stomach shake

overall they really got a nice sound to it!

No, cuz it's LCD/TFT.

Hey man...Yeah i know it may be weird but when i put my hand overtop of the fan it's blowing out hot air. And what does hot air do? it rises. so might as well put a fan there since it's the dead spot in my case...I have two fans in the front and two in the back which carry the air from front to back.. Which means there is nothing moving the air at the top of the case.
Ummmm, But when you have two HD's and a CD drive all hooked up, yes it does create somewhat of a mess in the case, so i just re-arranged them so that the cables are not in the way of the airflow.
And don't worry about your english i knew what you wanted to say.

Stereo: cool Stereo system! LOL
Your TFT is really old! I think it is the oldest TFT from Samsung. It is a very good brand, the better 15" is another ancient model, SyncMaster 152S (in official site it is called 152B):

Today, the better 15" LCD is from Sony, with high contrast ratio and beautiful design:

Yeah what is wrong??? Samsung and Sony are my prefered brands IMO the image quality is very good. You know TFT monitors offers frequently very bad quality. For example LG 1510 was very dark.
Anyways I am very happy with my new 15" Viewsonic LCD, it is an unknown brand but I really like the powerful of colors.

of course ive got some ideas, first we can install 2 8inch subwoofers, 5inch speakers and 3inch tweeters. We can make a custom front spoiler with card, and sellotape and rear spoiler has well as a card wing and a custom exhaust over the fan. and maybe some nos decals to rice it up more. along with a V-tec Badge.

what is wrong with sony...

well for first I simply got something against Sony, I always have the feeling of MY FIRST SONY when I see something of them.
They are expensive compared to other brands on the same base.
they will never be close in alot of things for instance sound quality (cause the do a real weewee poor job in audio)
The PC's they make aren't what you can expect from something with such a price tag.
They are.... well... can't fully explain but I only got one thing from sony and that is the diskdrive in my PC cause it was the only one they had in silver...

Anywayz, the only thing that's good are the PS systems from Sony.. And the televisions are okay. It's about equal to other products, but you pay for the brand..
