My pc is never looked that speical from the outside so i thought it was time to light the thing up and do some extra cooling within my poor old work horse ,so for the starters i begin with some fans with lights $30 ,a aerogate coolmaster fan controller wit5h lights ofcourse about $45 ,and a vortex hard drive cooler with a crossflow blower $90 ,the h/drive cooler has worked a heap with now a 23-25 c reading of heat from it "wicked " and the fans are now controlled by me "at full ofcourse " for such a little amount of money this normal looking beast is now cool ,,,and did i forget to say lite up like a xmas tree biggrin.gif

ps i tryed out the cheaper cool drive 3 first "it is cr@p" so if you are thinking about this type of extra cooling go for the best and more $$$ ones

yeah mine looked like a sorry bit of nothing just the way i wanted it back then,because so when i walked around with it in the middle of town it didnt look like anything to get into a fight with 4 .. the tower is just a cheap but good foxcon 775 $80 bucks i think when i got it ..so cheap enough
The reason i posted the shots here was to show what little money can buy ,the cooling was ok with the three fans i had ,but my h/drive was always hot because i dont really turn it off at all only while in transport so the new 90$ vortex HD cooler with discount to $80 bucks for me was a good buy ,last night i seen it drop to 18c with the door open while i had a smoke ,thats just what i wanted ... biggrin.gif
the lights just add that little bit of pimping for me and fan controller is sweet being able to control that side of things ...
such alittle bit of money goes along way ... winkyy.gif
