NZXT Tempest build [the titan]

[DaemaroDF]

Is this with no extra lighting? Just the LED fans? Looks really nice.

[JHurleyGTR]

For real though what is this song?!?

[ndogg360]

Im not sure why, but this song made me crack up laughing.

[explosiv0]

what cpu cooler is that?

[nishchal]

M planing to buy FSP EVEREST 80PLUS 1010W PSU .... will it fit in this NZXT TEMPEST ??

[jedimstr397]

Hahaha, you didn't even trim your ty-wraps flush. Mine looks so much better. You built a damn christmas tree.

[randomtandem369]

@jedimstr397 Hey man let's see your rig. If it's any good maybe I'll use a Tempest for my next bit.

[jedimstr397]

@randomtandem369 I'll shoot a vid this week and upload it. No prb.

[MsBloodysmiles]

[albertoju1997]

I have that pc 2 or 3 years ago and I no longer operate the neon front is terrible

[emc2records]

For those who care, I updated my bios and am running 8 Gigs RAM :P

[JohnPTownson]

how is that CPU cooler with games? Was thinking of getting it but saw some bad reviews .

[emc2records]

@JohnPTownson I didnt overclock, so mine runs great. 36C at full load with an e8400

[pupustinki]

[Asis249]

@pupustinki

omg look at the title =I



[GamerNebulae]

Where is your optical drive?

[emc2records]

@GamerNebulae in the top drive bay

[Sosolidier]

hehe i have that case and it is AWSOME !!! and really cool when got blue lights..

[emc2records]

@Sosolidier Agreed. I'm gonna stay loyal to NZXT until I get a lemon!

[c3ss34]

i was gonna buy that intel core 2 duo dual instead i got the intel core 2 duo quad core

[TheLMTech]

everyone seems to have something bad to say about the song.... i think its sick..in a good way lol, good choice man.

[ToxicWaffe87]

this song made me want to rip my head off

[aspiregemstone]

can this case fit the gigabyte 5830? thanks:)

[emc2records]

@aspiregemstone absolutely

[emc2records]

absolutley

[SnowFox226]

That thermaltake Spinq....is that in right?

[madebarriere]

@SnowFox226 yes

[emc2records]

@SnowFox226 Yes. It dissapates outward, kind of an omni dissapation, if you will. It can go in at any angle.

[alltimegamer247]

no one has asked u for the ame of the song lolz

[drocks22]

is the side window tinted?

[darkangelcloud7]

Lol nice airflow

[badboycoap]

this song craacks me upp!

[kspree3]

the song gave me cancer

[emc2records]

@kspree3 hahahaha

[aala12]

@kspree3 Hmm wierd i got hepititis from this song

[TheLMTech]

@kspree3 hahaha

[emc2records]

@Stend4ever pretty good, about 3/4" behind the mobo to hide stuff and several holes to route cables

[seetherfan1369]

the yellow zipties are pretty cool...

[dragonmustard2]

What color are those zip-ties are they neon green or do the lights make them seem like it?

[emc2records]

@dragonmustard2 They are neon. No clue where I got them!

[drocks22]

i was planning on putting things in the front drive bays that took more than 3 drive bays, will it affect me seeing both front blue led fans?

[emc2records]

@drocks22 yeah, you will have to remove the top factory intake fan and one of the 2 HDD cages because there are only 3 bays available while the fan is installed, and that top fan cools the HDD's in the top cage. Not a difficultt process though.

[thekyman21]

that music was freakin annoying

[drocks22]

hey man, im thinking about either getting this case or the lexa s....which do you prefer?

[madzane94]

@drocks22 lexa looks better but this has better cable management... tempest evo is bigger, has better airflow and can fit a 5970... whichever u want lol

[madzane94]

dual core 9800gt? nice for 2008

[moonshiry]

how did u add another intake fan at the front of the casing?

[TeamSimpless]

its stock

[noobifile]

wish my cable managment was that nice, but the corsair 750 has a ton of cables, and i cant die them behind the mobo :(, so theer are tucked into the hdd bay

[koolguyg]

is the side window really that blue wehn the fans are on?? or do you have a blue light in there?

[noobifile]

blue lights, cathodes

[MagronMHR]

Which cathodes do you use? Sunbeam or Akasa?

[kkevinC]

What's the song man? Pretty awsome sounding tune.

[emc2records]

@kkevinC Squarepusher - Plaistow Flex Out

[TheBlitz1]

@kkevinC squarepusher sucks dick fyi

[kkevinC]

@TheBlitz1 Perspective and individual oppinions are something you should look into a bit more to understand the world a bit more .....FYI

[TheBlitz1]

@kkevinC no because everyone knows squarepusher sucks big donkey dork

[kkevinC]

@TheBlitz1 Again, your mind couldnt be any more narrow.

[TheBlitz1]

@kkevinC Listen bro, if everyone knows squarepusher sucks, and I speak on behalf of everyone, then your the narrow minded one.

[kkevinC]

@TheBlitz1 Can't believe you are still talking. You don't absorb information very well do you?

[TheBlitz1]

@kkevinC If everyone knows squarepusher sucks, and I alert you to this fact, and you still think otherwise - who is the narrow minded one not absorbing information?

[kkevinC]

@TheBlitz1 Becuase its a fucking opinion buddy like i've stated. You oppinion does NOT have to correspond with mine. If a band in your eyes sucks it does not mean it has to suck in my eyes. Get it through your head!

[TheBlitz1]

@kkevinC What you fail to understand is that everyone knows squarepusher sucks. If you listen to electronic music for at least 10 years, squarepusher will be at the very bottom. If however you know nothing about music, squarepusher will seem really good. I'm just alerting you ahead of your 10 year period of familiarization, that there is no point to bother yourself with squarepusher or Aphex Twin.

[kkevinC]

@TheBlitz1 You have no idea how idiotic you sound. Can you not grasp the concept of an oppinion. Tell me what an oppinion is since you apparently have NO CLUE

[TheBlitz1]

@kkevinC What you cannot grasp is the fact that everyone knows squarepusher sucks donkey dongle.

[kkevinC]

@TheBlitz1 I would like to inform you that you fail at logic sir. Have a good day.

[TheBlitz1]

@kkevinC If everyone knows that squarepusher sucks, and you think squarepusher is good, which of us is being irrational? =D

[kkevinC]

@TheBlitz1 HAHAHAH! You can't be serious can you?! I'm appalled by your ignorance!

[TheBlitz1]

@kkevinC Who's being ignorant, the person who is merely stating an obviousness, That everyone who knows anything knows squarepusher sucks big fat donkey dingle dong, or the person who thinks squarepusher is actually good music.

[kkevinC]

@TheBlitz1 You just keep digging yourself deeper into your idiocy hole don't you? Dig away.

[TheBlitz1]

@kkevinC What are you talking about? You do understand that everyone who knows anything knows that squarepusher sucks fat hairy donkey balls>>>> =\

[kkevinC]

@TheBlitz1 Diggin away... diggin away.....

[kkevinC]

@TheBlitz1 How old are you by the way? I feel like im talking to a 12 year old?

[Malcolmpda2]

How are the zips tie glowing such a bright neon green ? is it a light or the ties themself?

[ShaunDavidCarter]

UV reflective

[TheCallMeCrazy]

He probably has a UV light in there somewhere.

[emc2records]

@Malcolmpda2 It's a combination of neon ties and blue cathodes

[TheRealSergentSiler]

@Malcolmpda2

kinda looks like uv reactive to me

[paelk263]

The side fan, is that the original?

[frankokofran]

yes it is it includes 6 fans two 120mm blu led fans two top 140 mm fans side 120mm blue led fan and one at the back 120mm if u want to buy it its a grate case to mode but its classy asswell i have it

[paelk263]

yeah, i'm thinking of this case or the Antec Nine Hundred. I believe it will be the NZXT! :D Thanks!

[moonshiry]

whats the cfm of the fans?

[emc2records]

Yeah but I've replaced it to a fan that is quieter and changes slowly between 4 colors. Not that the original was loud though....

[paelk263]

What power supply do you use?

[Er0rr0perator]

why would you call a Gts 250 an upgrade from a 9800? They're basically the same thing.

[emc2records]

Because my 9800 blew out and the gts works....

[emc2records]

Just did some upgrades, including a GTS250, lughtscribe burner, and some case light mods. I'll put up a new video when I get around to it. And to all the questions about "will xxxxx fit," yes. Can't think of much that won't fit this case.

[thespartenkid]

@ xxsolidsteelxx

u should get a vaporx 5870 its about 1 inch smaller

and i recommend a antec 902

its basically a antec 1200 only 3 less drive bays and im getting 2 vaporx and antec 902

[xxsolidsteelxx]

i kinda like this. Should i get this or a lian li pc-k58w. And will a HD 5870 fit in here? Maybe 2?

[LANPARTYDUDE]

lol dude how you likeing the spin-q?i bought one a month ago or so and the overclocking rocks:)

[kriptoni1]

"SEXY"

[t77snapshot]

I have this case as well and iit's been great to me. On eof the great benefits is it's a long case so you can throw in those large cards or easily fit a water cool setup inside. I modded to the Half-Life2 theme. Love it!

[UnholyCinema]

i gonna have one of them

[Mac11A1]

Nice setup and pc. Might i ask what song this is?

[Qbite]

Can i out an geforce 275 in it? :-/ Or ist he graka to long?

[guderiancol]

Yea u can, i have a 295 gtx and it is full of space

[alfyajw]

actually after an hour of p-95, temp actually started dropping (: O

[zakharaya]

did you put blue leds in iut?

[BigMete0r]

blue leds are allready in fans. You can buy this case with blue or green leds

[SubliminaL1988]

I need to know the name of this song.

[Drake3498]

i bet its loud a fk. I just buy a quad core or a corei7 from bestbuy. Its cheap, QUIET, and does all the gaming u guys can do. Just not a fancy case. (in my opinion, fancy cases r only for shows and displays) so its my opinion why i dont pay extra money for *looks* and not performance.

[DragonNexus]

I'm personally getting both. Good looks and great performance.

TBH, if you're building, I think the whole point is to make it look like something amazing. It's an expression of you, it's YOUR PC, not a generic store bought one, so that's why you'd get a fancy case.

Of course, it's all down to individual choice. Not saying my way is better, not saying yours is. Each person has their own view on what they need from a computer. I love my side windows and cathodes XD

[Jekerdud]

Actually that case is built to keep the insides cool, it's not all looks. I've been planning to get this case since I knew I was getting close to upgrade time. There are dustcovers on the front intake fans, keeping dust to a minimum as well.

[sykez256]

can i take it home XD lol

[eLiskusDPS]

does the side window fan LED light up the whole window on its own?

[card1100]

did u have to use any extension cabels ?

[emc2records]

Nope, but depends on your setup. I can understand some people needing them.

[eriktheg500]

hey dude, did you hook up the lights to the PSU and the motherboard?? or did you only hook it up to the PSU? I really need help on this because if you hooked it to the motherboard as well, idk where to find the 2 pin connectors...

[emc2records]

If you are referring to the blue cathodes, they are connected via a daisy chain of power cables that go to the psu.

[Sinormi]

Like it. Just ordened my new, with NZXT Tempest. Happy as a kid on christmas! :D

[yaz90jordan]

please check out my Nzxt Tempest Rig watch?v=bWrqN3CYzpM

[scouserstu]

Hey ther cool rig + video. Does the case not have a HDD activity LED?

cheers.

[emc2records]

yes, it's on the side of the front panel

[superfreestyleer]

lol i have the spinq and the tempest to did you replace the side panel fan it looks brighter than mine

[emc2records]

I have now, it changes to many colors. but the one that is in this film is the one that came with the box

[judetju]

how could you change it??

[KuSQ3N]

change what ?

[judetju]

the led color

[emc2records]

The LEDs on the side panel window fan are on the fan itself.

[judetju]

yes im aware of that. nvm.

[gabeherb345]

i got a question for you did you have problems with the management on this case

i'm bout to buy it i neeed to kno if it's easy =0

[emc2records]

I would have extensions on hand. I had no problems, but I'm sure that some people will, depending on the hardware and cables. It's super roomy and easy to hide exposed cables.

[ankoudo]

Did you remove the black filters from your front panel?

[emc2records]

yup

[rodr2257]

anyone know the name to that kickin soundtrack?????????

[zodiac949]

very nice rig.

can i get the name of that beat?

[Slovenec10]

everything is good....but the graphics card and the mobo=FAIL X2

[emc2records]

it failed so bad, it blew! haha I upgraded to a GSO 250. Much better card. Also, read the info, I built this on a tiny budget......

[danix60]

nice vid!

that a very nice computer

and i loved the cable mangement ....

yeah add more modding

cathodes...:)

like i did

[EnemyRCA]

can you overclock with this, im bout to buy it and i am not sure

[emc2records]

no, intel boards are locked for overclocking from the BIOS. I dont trust the program overclocking

[EnemyRCA]

yea but i dont really think it matters, pheonix bios and some other lets you do mild overclocking

[Wolvve]

what song is in this video? cool pc man

[emc2records]

The last track on the Squarepusher album called Go! Plastic

[niggataytay300zx]

Very good lookn build =] 10/10 Nicely put together Take a peak at my Tempest plz =]

[theturtlebee]

looks pretty good, I like Antec Nine Hundred more though, also plenty of space, airflow, lighted fans, I dont put in the lights cuz I had them in once, finding out it increases the temp pretty much higher than without em. Also too bright. I should rather buy UV ones than the Blue oyster one lol

[CrazyofSound]

nice vid! Have the same case.

If u want to make it look better u should take out the fan (dust) grills and the normal dustfilters (If u dont care about dust^^).

And i changed the ugly side grill into a normal round grill.

How much 3dmark 06 points??

greets

[iflippy]

Excellent video. Did you have trouble with cable length though? I see you needed a case transfer so is it okay to assume that you're working with the same PSU as before? With that said, was it difficult routing your cables behind the mobo tray? I actually have a newer PSU model but I'm still concerned. I'm definitely going to buy this though.

[emc2records]

Nope, this is a new PSU. The mobo has room behind it to hide the cables, although you cant go more than 1 cable in thickness behind it, so you kinda have to spread them out a bit. I didn't have any issues with cable length.

I would watch one of TJHarlow's videos to see exactly how much room you have to work with. He posted a comment below, just click his name.

[MPIvan]

I like it, nice selection of case and lighting. Good job!

[asdfxyz1]

sorry but yours is inferior to mine.

[DaJaV0u]

i have the same pc as you but i got the NZXT LEXA over this case :)

[emc2records]

Dude, I'm not sure about the Lexa, but this thing is ROOMY, and roomy=airflow. I'm never getting anything but NZXT from now on.
