Tattered 3.4

August 2006 Desktop

New case and RAM ordered

Wed Jun 10, 2009, 12:24 AM
I pulled the trigger today, and my new Lian-Li PC-P50 case is in the mail, along with the EX-332B hard drive cage and 2x2GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 RAM. Pictures will be coming soon, and hopefully I'll be able to get an entire tutorial with pictures going sometime next week.

Ah, it'll be nice to have a good case.

Next upgrades planned:

New CPU cooler
Possibly two 140mm fans depending on how well the stock ones perform.
Solid State Drive (after Windows 7 comes out and SSD prices drop to ~$1/GB)
New graphics card (DirectX 11 only)

Ugly as sin (and gaudy to boot), great airflow, great cabling options, lots of room, reasonably quiet (given the number of fans and open design), passable build quality, lots of dusting required.

I actually like the design. The only thing that I can nit pick is that it doesn't seem like a very good idea that a PSU should be facing downward to the bottom of the case, because then the exhaust air from the PSU would just be directed towards more steel. It doesn't seem very wise to construct a case that forces the PSU to face in such a position. It seems more wise to have the PSU face upward like is industry standard.

Umm...the bottom-mounted 120mm fans on power supplies are intakes, not exhausts. The hex mesh at the back of the power supply is the exhaust. Bottom-mounted power supplies are a good thing.

I think I'm going to go for this, then for my next build sometime this October or November.

I like the rugged/industrial design.
