Thanks dude I sold it in favor for a lower power/lower heat output AMD. Wanted something small, simple, efficient that I can bring places easily. My old Lian Li with just the watercooling in it (Rad, block, pump, tube, water) weighed about 13.6 kilo's or 30 lbs, add in two HDD's, optical drive, video card, psu, etc, and it was well over 40 lbs which wasn't fun to bring places.

Thanks man. The dimensions are

Length: 15"

Width: 11.25"

Height: 9"

Or for the brits

Length: 38cm

Width: 28.5cm

Height: 22.8cm

It weighs about 14lbs empty with a PSU, or almost 6.5 kilo's. Full probably ~22 lbs, again, about 10 kilo's.

Hmm think I miss the LiLi

Monitor looks very smart though mate

 

[NickS]

Thanks Kempez

The Li was nice, quiet, fast, but this things pretty sweet. These new Brisbanes kick butt too.

Haha, Dell uses Samsung panels, but thanks

I was accually thinking about ordering that same 8600 just to be a little off topic....But still looks like a nice and clean set up there...

Dell monitors use high-quality Samsung panels, although any 22" monitors are TN (not keen on them). Nick what panel is the 21" one?

Yeah it's a nice card Runs very cool, nice stock heatsink it comes with. Looks like a mini 8800, it's sweet.

I'm not quite sure what panel this monitor has, but I knew prior to purchase that all 22" panels were TN too, so I figured I can spare .4" and take a chance and see if I get something different. None of the major LCD sites (tft central UK or widescreen gaming forums) have any information on it yet, though.

 

[Mr. Smith]

I missed this, WTH Nick!

You ditched your c2d? A mATX mobo with c2d would have fitted in there.

Nice little set up you got therethough, any 'internal' shots?

 

[NickS]

Core 2 is expensive, esp. with a good MATX mobo. I have a new camera on its way, when that comes I'll take some pix.

 

[NickS]

Asked my little sister if I could borrow her camera, and took some pix. I'm returning the 8600GTS to Newegg on Monday. To be honest, it's slow as hell and NVIDIA really made a bad card. 1680x1050 4xAA 8xAF in BF2 I get 15-45 FPS. That's HORRIBLE. So, I ordered an X1950XT 256MB for the same price.
