    Who mods their pc's



    and



    other mods done are cutting out rear grills where fans sit and the same at the front and giving it a nice clean up

    next mod may be a new case or save up for cpu watercooling + UV dye fo rthe coolant

    Mmmmm ... what's the spec Phil?

    Bigger case could be good choice for you. You are using some cheap multi-colours fans, they will not last long mate. Forget the lights, buy some proper silent fans

    Now:


    Before:



    Fans died after few weeks, good for me, but waste of money ...

    I had those fans for a bit, whilst they are silent i found the automatic speed control to be a bit shite, perfectly ok for a simple quiet PC, but when it comes to overclocking there not up to much.

    my 120mm antec fans on a speed controller work pretty well tho.

    im not exactly into it, but i 'spruced up' my standard dell with 2 led fans round the back, and in the front grill, looks classy to me

    Are you planning to upgrade before going for water cooling?

    water cooling would be wasted on that spec (no offence) because even if you overclocked it wouldn't be any thing special tbh.

    i wouldn't even waste the money on water cooling my xp64 3500+ now(overclocked from 2.2ghz to 2.63Ghz)

    But i would if i went for something pretty high spec and planned to abuse it abit i would.
