Clean inside... Wires hidden as much as possible, IDE cables folded so not to block airflow. I hate SATA or rounded cables, they dont fold out the way!

Mine is like Olags, but I don't have digi cam and I have the ugliest wiring job ever, wires everywhere really.

I need to blow the dust balls out, clean up the coffee stains, buy a new case, cpu, mobo, graphics card, sound card, fans, and a camera, and I'm all set.

as standard, old ATI cards come with a shim that protects the GPU, the slight problem is, they was overprotective and infact that ment the heatsink needed a thermal pad that was 2 to 4mm thick to touch the GPU. This caused bad cooling....

When i had watercooling, i took the heatsink off and of corse the thermal pad was destroyed in the proccess. Not that i would want to use one again. My watercooler had a grove in it so it wouldnt touch the shim allowing prefect contact with just thermal paste.

But now ive gone back to aircooling i had to either:

1. get a new heatsink that had grove in it for the shim.
2. get a thermal (insulator) pad :?
3. remove the shim altogether......

i choose the "easy" option :shock:

So just this week I decided to upgrade to XP. I figured I might as well update my hardware while I was at it. I ended up grabbing a hefty Enermax quiet PS, 2 Serial ATA 80GB hard drives, and hooking up the SB Audigy I bought a while back. You can click on the pics for larger versions.

My Case and new hardware to be installed. (The Diet Pepsi didn't make it into the case though)

A closer look at the inside.

The old HDDs and PS removed along with a shot of the hard drive swapper I bought a while back before I purchased my firelite drive. I figured I'd use it to transfer files from my old drives.

New parts installed. The PS was kind of tough with the extra thick covering on the cables, but I got that bastard in there.

My old 80 GB with water block that my distributor didn't send me the 2nd drive mounting for and I bent my only extra crimp. It was never actually hooked up. It took a good talking to from my trusty flat-head, but I was able to pry that crap off.

This was one of the easiest installs I've done in a while. I'm mad that I didn't get a picture of after I cleaned up the inside cabling, but I'll live. The striped array is working fine, and I do seem to notice a performance gain in file transfers, although that could just be the new OS.
