| My New Computer |
| Well, after 5 years of having my computer, I decided it was time to upgrade. Two months of planning and a week of putting it all together. Here it is. |

| Specs: |
| Aspire X-Navigator Case DFI Lanparty UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert AMD Opteron 170 G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 500 eVGA GeForce 7900GTX 514MB FSP Group 600W Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM Western Digital Caviar 250GB 7,200RPM NEC 16X DVD-R ZALMAN CNPS9500 Heatsink |

| How the case arrived... Well, it came in a box but that wasn't real interesting. |
 |
| After removing all the inside junk, powersupply and drive bays, I finally had a canvas I was ready to work with. |
 |
| It's like Christmas only without the cold weather and having to buy presents for everyone else. |
 |
| I decided to snap this picture with the motherboard and heatsink by themselves just so you can get an idea on how massive the Zalman really is. It's HUGE, but oh so pretty. |
 |
| Finally, everything is in, however it looks really bad in terms of the wires. That large item under the Zalman is my video card, almost didn't have enough room for the drive bay next to it. |
 |
| Well, it didn't blow up. And boy, is this thing bright! I can read a book just by the light coming out of the side, not counting the 4 lights in the front either. |
 |
| Front shot, total there are 8 fans in this thing, and suprisingly, it is pretty darn quiet. On the front is a knob that can control the fan speed and 2 temp gauges to tell me the HD/CPU temps. Sweet. |
 |
| Wires tucked, cables routed, bays locked, It's time to play. |
