My kick-butt G4

I just finished upgrading my Quicksilver G4. Here are the specs.

A 2.0 GHZ GigaDesings Processor
1.5 gigs of ram
2x 250 gig SATA hard drives with a PCI raid card
nVidia GeForce 4 TI 4600 with 128 megs of 400 mhz DDR Ram
16X Superdrive (dual layer)
a Zip 750 (built in) for save game transfers.
And its all hooked up to a 23 inch Cinema HD display.

No, its not for sale butI thought I would gloat just a little.

Fans

Actually, I don't need to. The video card has one. The processor has TWO. There are two on the oppisate side of the doors wall. I took one from my dead Blue and White to add to the wall. It may be loud as hell but heck, it can play DOOM 3. Which makes me happy.

You can have as many fans ins

You can have as many fans inside the case as you want, unless your getting the air out, it wont help. In stock config the PSU is the only exhaust fan. So not only is it sucking in all that hot air, making it run hotter, but the internal components on the machine arent running as cool as they should.

PCI

I have the PCI slots open so that Air can exit the computer. And also I drilled more holes on the back of the metal case so that the air for the second fan on the back can cool.
