140mm fan
87% efficiency @ 20% load and 100% load, and 90% @ 50% load
Low noise, 20db MAX starting at 40% to 100% load, and 16-18% @ 20-40% load.
8 connectors on the PSU (most only have 6)
3 PCI-e connectors (for video cards)
3x SATA cables with 4 on each (Only using one for 2 hard drives and DVD burner)
Painting the red thing on the graphics card (bought the paint)
Should be complete after painting.
Seems like a clean build, why did you only go with 650 watts?
I assume you dont torrent very much, is 2 drives going to be your max?
Raiding at all?
They are 200 and 500
They are almost full as I made the switch to 720p and up for my dads new TV (55″ 1080p LED)
Never done raid before, not really sure what it is.
I might get an SSD though, when they become cheap enough.
defo do RAID if you have a ton of media (music, TV, movies etc.) it just gives a bit of redundancy if one of the drives fail (also depends on how you RAID). But if you have an external HD you back it up to then ignore this…
…but that will degrade in time as well…
…just like life…
Check to see if your board will do Raid 0 (it probably should) and next time you get paid pick up two 1 TB caviar black’s Raid those two suckers together and you will see a performance boost.
What graphics card you got in there?
evga gtx 260 sc core 216, got it for $100
I just finished a build. You a fan of Intel and Nvidia? I like ATI and AMD, but mostly because I get more for the money.
I go with whatever is cheaper or is on sale generally
Always a bad sign when a supposedly professional company uses the default Excel template for its graphs.

Agreed.
Rather Lame system.
Crap, I fed the troll.
