***Bleedin Edge Case Mods***

Not to custom or extravagent but here's mine. I built it originally about 1 1/2 years ago.

Asus A8N-SLI Premium motherboard
AMD Athlon 3700+ ( has been running @ 2.7 for about a year, doesnt go above 42C)
XFX 7800GTX
2 gigs OCz platinum

All original equipment except for the 2 gigs added a little more then a year ago and is overclocked, since about the first few days i got it. I also added a arctic cooling heatsink+fan setup to the GTX a few months after i built it. Everything has ran flawlessly.

Didnt want to just set both of my radiator's outside of my TT mid-tower (Identicle to this but without the top 4 fan control nobs



I didnt know when i ordered my TT bigwater 745 setup that it wouldnt fit in my mid-tower(I was totally new to water-cooling then) and when i started to put it in I relized it wouldnt fit, so I got a hack saw, drill, and some sheetmetal screws. Cut the support bar that goes across the case off half way so i could still fix my wires to it. drilled new holes for the PSU about 1/2 an inch above the old ones. Then once i got everything in i used the shettmetal screws to fix the radiator to the case. Ive had this setup for over a year(I pretty much never turn my pc off) and first used regular clear fluid XP+. I recently replaced the old clear with new Fluid XP+ EXT in lime green color by draining as much of the old as I could then flushing the rest out with the new stuff till i was confident i got it all out or most of it atleast.

My AMD athlon 3700+ is at 2.7 ghz and the TT water setup doesnt let it go above 42C so I am very pleased. It's also very quiet in my opinion.

Right now I really need to do something with my wires and something with my EL Wire as it's just thrown in there now.

Id also like to add that upgrading from 1 gig of ram to 2 gigs of OCz platinum was one of the best upgrades ive ever done, OCz is the only ram ill buy now for high performance builds, stuff is awesome

Those are the coolest system's ever! Where do you guys go to show them off?

Hello all,

together with my cooling update, I also added a few cool blue LEDs to the front of my already exciting AOpen H500A!!! These blue LEDs, by the way, are not just... LEDs... they are all linked to a different fan in my system, so I can see if they're enabled:
the faster they turn, the brighter they burn!!!
