I find the Bitfenix Prodigy really cute.

If I had a load of spare cash, I'd love to build a high-spec one and maybe try watercooling it. My sister also wants a PC now so I could get her the Prodigy if she gets a gaming PC.
Something like this?
I managed to get a bit of a higher spec one. The CPU cooler is optional, though.

But it do.

I flipped my PSU so that it wasn't blowing hot air on the GPU anymore. Fortunately my case has a venty thingy on the bottom for a PSU.

EDIT: Running cooler in games now. Nice.

The PSU is meant to go fan down, silly!

But to be fair, PSU's from Corsair have their stickers upside down.

When I was first installing it, someone was like "ALWAYS HAVE THE FAN FACING UP! DUH!" Come on, tomshardware people. Well my card is running cooler now.

The PSU is always mounted fan down regardless of its mounting location.

I expect more from the folks at Tomshardware.

Proud Spartan II, COG soldier, Hero of time, and crowbar wielding scientist.

So I just ordered the CPU, GPU, and motherboard for the $1k build suggested by TopWarGamer. (Here)
So a soon-to-be successful builder?

Also, my steam name is CrimsonSeven. I'm already in the Flood, Bungie.net, and PC thread groups.
Now that its after Christmas, my profile is severely outdated, due to it explaining my current money.
I shall update it now.

If you're rolling with that build...yes. Very successful.

Surprised the original Crysis runs on my PC on very high. From what I've heard it was not optimized very well...

What are your specs?

Also, reminder to everyone, please save this thread so it can get a Top Topic.

Fluffy would you change my build picture in the OP to this one? You can actually see the case this time.

You overclock something and don't check the temps? Isn't that unsafe?
