What was done...
1.) CM Stacker 830
2.) ZALMAN X2 Cooler
3.) Fitted my old 7800GTX with a Artic Cooling Accelero X
4.) Antec Neo HE500 500Watt
5.) Fitted a L.I.S. 2 Multimedia Control Centre
6.) 3 x 120mm Vantec ultra quiet FANS...
I'm quite glad to say (bragging a bit here :) ) I was one of the first people in the country with both the ZALMAN and Artic Cooler. Compared to my old aircooling the Zalman brought down my CPU by 13C running @ at 1200rpm . The Artic Cooler dropped my GPU core by 20C and runs at a maximum of 800rpm. :) Take note it's not a new Rig only the 8800GTX is....
