    It's arrived!

    My new PC. It's a little bit huge...

    Chuffed to bits, pictures don't do it justice (probably because they were taken on a phone camera.)

    http://s1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg598/bigben93/ Like I said, pictures are a bit lame but oh well...

    Just got to wait for the replacement for my faulty 2nd monitor now:/

    Spec is in my signature

    Thanks
    It's quite noisy even with the fans on low speed and not doing that much. Would different fans make it quieter or is the noise just something I will have to get used to?

    When i got my new pc, i was surprised how loud it was, but that was cause my previous pc was virtually silent You get used to it to a certain extent, but if you hate it, you can always replace any case fans that are too loud. You could even change the fans on the CPU if you were feeling adventurous, but as you can guess, it's more tricky and costly

    Urgh, that sounds too much like effort :P

    I'll put up with it, with the SSD it takes no time to just turn it off and on when I need

    Not entirely comfortable going into the bios without help.. Would it be able to control the fans? I would have thought they were run separately off the fan controller?
    Thanks
