nice specs on that rig. what'd you do to it besides sleeve everything black? is that a case that you built or an acrylic one that you bought?

pretty decent job on the wiring though maybe you can bundle up the sleeved wires into one loom? since its an all see through case can't really make them disappear but you can at least make it look like there's less there.

Wondering same thing... Amazing set up and pretty clean install but why only the fatal1ty cooler? why not the 9500 or as Mr Bum says... watercooling?

That thing will look sweet on a glass desk!

the hardest part was the install, because itdoes have alot of wires when your connection all the fans to the controlers and the thermal monitors..

markwalker84 - got a link to the 9500 never heard of it...


price list

Take it apart and try again. Did it make any specific beeps? They can lead you in the direction of what is causing the hang up. Break it down to the simplest form. 1 memory stick, CPU, CPU fan, video, and power. Unplug all the drives, lights, and auxillary fans. You dont need them to POST. Also, if you have a known working video card and memory to swap in there, you can eliminate 2 possible causes right there. I know how exciting it is to throw new stuff together, and it is extremely easy to make a simple mistake. Some mistakes just cost alot more than others.

Just F.Y.I., it's spelled "Dual", not "Duel", unless your monitors are duking it out with pistols at 10 paces.
