Yeh, though more reliable than a regular external I guess.
Do you reckon there is anyway to repair this screwy one?

Epic hernia inducing case

Well, it would be 169.8kg (plus the weight of the case etc), given wikipedia's weight for the 5 cent coin

Well he brings it to LANs and what not but doesn't seem to have too much trouble with it.

I'm curious as to how heavy mine is but no way of checking...

A 140mm fan with a 120mm heat sink?
You cn't get much better than Noctuas in terms of performance, not to mention they're whisper quiet.

@OP, are you planning on overclocking?
Also, i recommend more than a 700watt PSU for that rig...
Go with 1000 watt for future proofing, thats what i did and i didn't regret it.
Also, i'd go with a better case for the money your spending.
Putting that rig into a Coolermaster case is like putting a supercharged v12 into a Datsun... (n)

 

[Gibbatron]

Yes I will be overclocking. I've got it pretty much sorted what I'm going to be putting in my new comp. I just cant work out what gfx card(s) to use.

a 5970 is 2GB
your case probs wont fit the damd, a 700W isnt really enough for the 5970 and why get a 930 when you can get the new AMD 6-core?...
and 8GB of ram owns.
