I use to be in to this and have spent many a hour on the overclocking forums and also a few quid in the shop
never modded my case but i remember the time i brought a case from them called the tornado or something and it had 6 fans in it, 2 on top 2 on the side over the cpu 1 front and 1 back, god it made suck a racket i had to change all the fans over for quieter ones with less db output. I have done the celeron chips with over clocked bus and voltage Now i am just running a shuttle system with a p4 all standed which suites me |

Got me a custom-built PC from the nice people at Voodoo PC (over in Canada)
Runninng an over-clocked Athlon 64 Dual Core 4400+ (over-clocked to 2.4Ghz). Got at least 6 fans Two intake, two exhaust, one for CPU and one of GPU... luckily they're quite quiet so they don't make the whole house shake... It came with a sort of red glow built-in. Makes it look a bit menacing... |

The only overclocking done on my PC is the graphics card, and the factory did that
http://www.bfgtech.com/7600GS_512.html that's the one oh.. I suppose the addition of a couple of artic cooling fans could be seen as a "mod" http://www.arctic-cooling.com/cpu2.php?idx=79&disc= and one of their case fans I think really with the price of chips falling and kit getting cheaper, there is not as much need for overclocking, but having said that there seems to be no shortage of people willing to spend loads of money on a box that only a few people will see

I used to be into overclocking P2's and Celerons and such like but interest dropped off when i got into using Sun equipment due to work, which left very little opportunity for overclocking and modding.
When the Sun gear got retired i looked around for something with Unix under the hood which was easy to use, so naturally went for Apple equipment, but again not much opportunity to mod. But i do have a Apple G4 with cpu upgrade and Ati 9800 pro, all runs quite hot though and will crash if the cpu and gfx card are maxed out - lots of gfx corruption on the screen. My guess is the stock heatsink/fan on the Ati card aren't all that, maybe one of the more experienced modders here could recommend a fan/heatsink upgrade for my ati card? John |
