but, yea, imna hold on to her for as long as possible. after my next build, my current machine will have a case swap and become a data server

Sounds like a plan to me, are you saving up for an uber PCI-E rig or what?

CDsDontBurn · Jan 11, 2008, 12:52 PM

i guess you could say that

. i'm just trying to pay off some bills right now. soon afterwards with less bills, i'll have more spending cash towards a new ubber pci-e rig

i dumped the water cooling setup and went back to air for many reasons

Case looking good! But disappointed in you for ditching watercooling.

I received my new Stacker 832 yesterday. And already it looks like this

And all those little 'nicks' in the hole for the radiator are screw holes that were there before, not done by me

are you planning on painting the case?

did the same thing with my antec 900. painted the inside black, looks pretty nice.
as soon as i get my new stuff, and re-order the wires in my case i will take some photo's too

Lowfat · Jan 16, 2008, 11:38 AM

Gettting it powder coated. I painted my last Stacker 830's interior. I didn't like it.

Mousey · Jan 16, 2008, 12:14 PM

Nice

I'd like to see it when it's done Low

Lowfat · Jan 16, 2008, 01:13 PM

Shouldn't be long. Taking it to the powder coaters today. So I will assume Monday or Tuesday hopefully. Although it won't have a system in it for a week or two I assume. Waiting for Wolfdale's to come available

just too much of a hassle for me.....ill put it back in once i get a new system

instead of breathing life back into the one i currently have

Hey low, who did you buy that stacker off of? I see it already has a triple rad mount cut/drilled in the bottom.

Gonna stick a PA 120.3 in there?

Lowfat · Jan 16, 2008, 03:18 PM

I bought the Stacker new from NCIX. I cut the holes for the radiator myself. I will be using an MCR320 as it is much thinner than a PA120.3. I need all the clearance I can get. As is, it is barely going to fit.

When I said it already looks like this, I took everything apart and did all the cutting already

**ChaosMinionX** · Jan 16, 2008, 03:32 PM

Ahh, MCR320 is a lil more restrictive no, and needs higher CFM fans IIRC.

Mousey · Jan 16, 2008, 03:46 PM

Hah, i only just realised i can't be arsed hooking up these HDDs xD
I might buy another SATA one, i'm running out of space very quickly
Btw even though there's a HIS sticker on my drive bays, i had the X1550 installed, before i realised the Molex to PCI-E adapter was the problem o.0
I really need a native PCI-E PSU >_>

It isn't very restrictive, no, but it doesn't perform as well as a PA120.3. I am using 1000rpm Nexus (hand-picked Yate Loons) fans. It isn't going to perform as well as a PA120.3. But the difference is only going to be a 1-2C at most since an E8500 and one 8800GT is hardly going to be a load for it.
