Info:

Mix-and-match of eBay, Microcenter, newegg, and tigerdirect parts. About the 12th system I have built, the first I've attempted to do any wire management on. The window is a $10 kit from Microcenter, so wasn't expecting much - but the dragon and blue-light worked out well.

	Sombrero - the Salsa Breathing
	The Guts - Frankenstein-ish, but a heck of a lot cleaner than before I started!
	I love this case - it's heavy, but it's housed 4 MB/CPU combo's in the last 2 years ...
	Another inside shot
	Another dragon shot ...

I didnt know the silent boost fit on a S754 CPU. Forgot to mention I love the grill ya got there. My rig is a 3000+ on the MSI K8N Neo Platinum it rox with a GB of OCZ DDR400. Dont have a digicam to take pics tho. BTW...Are u looking at the Neo platinum or Neo2?

waterlou commented on 2005-01-12 22:00:00 that:

Linesman - want to keep the 754, so just neo plat. As for the silentboost - its the k8 version. Thanks again!

Nice hardware ya got there...altho I'd soon be looking at a new gfx card (pssstt...6600GT). Is that a Tt Silent Boost u got cooling ur 3200+? Ur case is kinda plain too nice window mod tho. Look into a new one like an Antec P160 or super LanBoy, or possibly a Tt Tsunami Dream. Cables look decent cept for at the top but its all good. Peace

Thanks Linseman - yes, that's the TT Silent Boost, quietest part of my setup. This is a "holdover" case till I poney up some bucks for MSI neo/Patriot combo. I saw the lanboy for $35 at Compusa, but wasn't impressed - seemed a bit flimsy.
