jsgolfman Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 So...it’s midnight and I am sitting here in my underwear thinking about the glamorous life of a hardware reviewer. People think we get lots of free goodies and do nothing but play all day... well, that’s partly true but nothing is really free and eventually you gotta stop playing long enough to earn your keep or Jim will squawk http://www.monster-hardware.com/reviews/wa...olingz4%201.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbreb13 Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Nice read. $250 is a good price. I can get temps like that with air though, so it definitely needs a radiator upgrade. But for a quiet system this would be adequate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted October 15, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Yeah, definitely need to upgrade the radiator and clean some of the clutter in the case. That would also help the MB temps. I get 27-28 consistently, very rarely do I get above 29. I like it for the price. Another good beginner system to get your feet wet, so to speak.

Bruceleeon Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 I normall spend abou 200 on cooling anyway.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted October 21, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 At least $200. If you count the hsf, case fans, rounded cables, ram sinks, etc. it all adds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruceleeon Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 add up what i bought so far for the new computer... That only covers 2 case fans... still have at least 4 to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
