Good pics of your setup there mate - that animated GIF is wicked! Makes your setup look like a

pit in the dark

The internals look nicely kept - cables tidied and sleeved very well. good job mate

Is it just me or do these zalman CPU coolers seem very popular at the moment??

 

[bbdez]

the animated pic is amazing m8, i just love that

 

[AmBush]

Cheers jiffz its a little off coulour now (being a smoker does that)

I've had mine for near 2 years i suppose you get used to seeing you own all over the place.

They are quiet but man you need to watch what your doing around them there like razor blades, lost track of the amount of times i lookes at my hands and seen blood everywhere

Great photos. That`s one neat looking build.

What extra lighting u thinking of ?

 

[AmBush]

Cheers m8,

The Top has a predrilled hole for optional 5mm LED, I got 1x5mmUV LED

picked up one 3mmUV LED from maplin to try looks like a go maybe get a couple more in the mounting holes.

also got a Lazer LED (LINK) kicking around somewhere which will be swichable.
