Anyone with a stock cooler, hang your heads in shame.

It's not that bad, I mean load temps never go above 55C for me, then again, a 2120 doesn't pump out as much heat as a 4770k either :D

VGA on a 900p monitor. Sucks but I will probably get some money for Christmas to buy a 1080p IPS monitor

My SSD is no longer in production, in fact Patriot doesn't make SSDs anymore so no mad raid 0. I still use a GTX 560 Ti. I have an mAtx board in a Define R4 because I couldn't stand the crapfest of the interior layout from my Lian Li cube.

 

My R4 will be amazing once I transform it from white with a yellowed front panel to matte black with silver flake sprayed on top..I also have carbon wrap for the front door and pink leds for the power button. :D

Once, when I was 3. I didn't know what a CPU was, but I chucked an old 386SX at a wall. I was a moron back then. It actually split in half. Yay, there goes $300 of slow CPU!

It is perfectly fine, I said why the side panel can't fit on in the previous post.
