MedRed Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 So I've not been super active in updating my tank... why? I may be getting a promotion that will move me back to TX. I'm in a holding pattern until I get news one way or the other. So since I can't spend $ on corals... i decided to tune up my PC and get back into some online gaming. It started on October 3rd when i decided to get a new gaming mouse, keyboard, and a headset for Team Fortress 2. (the 30" apple monitor is not new) Then I decided october 4th to get a new graphics card which meant i needed a new power supply. I opted for a 750w PSU which is overkill. Then on October 10 I decided to get a new case and CPU cooler. The finished product? And a couple of videos: the side w/ cpu cooler and rear front and the big boy fan with all the pretty colors.

MedRed Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Sorry to hear yo will be going back to Texas............ glad I met you before that happens. Thanks Michael! I don't know for sure yet... but it would make me a happy camper... a promotion and being close to friends and family. That case is insane. It looks like a UFO. I love it! Thanks Squishy! I have a few more upgrades planned as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 DUDE! I have NEVER seen a CPU as cool looking as that! I'll bet it does some kind of wicked game capabilities. Put the tank on auto pilot and watch what happens when you don't fiddle with it every 3 hours. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 ha ha... thanks chewie. The tank is looking good but it stinks i may not see what this tank looks like at the 1 year mark. I have some ORA corals i just got in and some chalices that are still on the plugs waiting to see if they are finding a new home or not.

Yah i've wanted it since i saw it come out, i have another thread here in out of bounds talking about it (laugh) http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/showthread.php?t=11431&highlight=antec So far i've only got the case, graphics card, PSU, and optical drives. I'm buying it in parts i guess, next month i'll spring for the MB. I got a decent deal on the case, $120 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I was leaning toward AMD/Asus combo but the more i read about how nice the newer Intel processors are i might just go back to Intel. I'll probably get them as a combo at newegg.com. I haven't narrowed it down quite yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedRed Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 ah... the new 1366 socket i7 intels are the peak in performance. the 920 is a nice processor for the money. I used to be an AMD fan but Intel won me over with their performance ratings. I'm still an ATI guy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
