@e1l0c0m0c0

This case is a Cooler Master HAF 932

I dont know if its sold anymore, but this case does provide tons of air flow and lots of room for a nice PC.

Thank you.

Right now im unemployed and once I get back to work Im going to build another system. Probably going to be another AMD system if i can find a Motherboard that SLI capable with and AMD CPU. But if not its going to be an Intel system because AMD/Nvidia motherboards are becoming very hard to come by, granted I Havent done my research in quite some time because no money.

Question, I have an HP m8200n Pavillion that has an AMD dual core 6000+ @ 3.0 ghz CPU and the motherboard has a AM2 socket while also running Vista 32 bit home premium. Now I heard that it might be possible to put the 940 @ 3.0 ghz (which is AM2+ processor) and it would work. I don't plan on overclocking it either. Is this possible and would I see any improvements? I am doing more gaming now and planning to add an additional internal 1TB hd so I can move my music, games and videos to it. HELP

@blueblade455

I honestly dont know. The motherboard would need to be am2+ compatible as well. Sorry for the lateness is response been really busy trying to look for work, being laid off sucks.

@nissan300ztt That's ok. I installed the 940 into my factory HP motherboard and only the fans turned on and wouldn't even go into bios. Reinstalled the 6000+ and was back to normal. Shopped around and bought the Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H (rev. 3.3) from Tiger Direct, Xigmatek Cobra D984 CPU cooler, and replaced my factory 500 GB HD with a Western Digital 2 TB - WD2002FAEX HD. Overall I have a much faster computer!

I prefer samsung and my 360 Elite. Far Better graphics then the PS3 and a sony bravia. Im considering switching to ATI from Nvidia. Seems like ATI is getting far better.

yeah all the smoke detectors in this house are all linked so if one has a bad battery they all chirp....I hate it.

Well if im not OC'ing heavily anywhere from 30c to 36c ambient room temp taken into account. When im overclocked and my room temps are between 68-72f my temps are between 36c and 40c
