I was excited to wake up on sat and wait for my new system, and sure enough it came. everything started up perfectly. only problem i had was the two top fans were not going when i started it up. wasnt a big deal, all i had to do was open it up and plug in the cable. im VERY satisfied with the performance and quality of this computer!!!
Inside is the Intel i7 940 overclocked to 3.52GHz ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard 6GB DDR3 1600MHz by corsair 750 watt power supply 300GB Western Digital VelociRaptor operating drive and a 1tb for storage NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 1GB for the vid card cooled by the cool master v8 optical drives are the reader and writer with lightscribe and got the performance fans on the chassis for more cooling. added the red led lights for that extra touch ;) below is the link for pics of the computer and below here are the cpuz/hwmonitor pics http://s636.photobucket.com/albums/uu88/Kernols/My%20DS%20Computer/ ![]() ![]() Thank you Digital Storm!! ![]() |

that was actually a little while after i got it up and running. the two top fans weren't going at that time. the gpu sits around 40-44 at idle and about 65 during heavy gaming for a long period.
