Custom Air Cooled Gaming PC This was my first purchace from vadim, i was on a budget so i deced on air cooling rather than water cooling. i wanted a pc that could play the latest games and for doing work on. when i orded my pc there was a few problems with some of the parts so i had to change them around a bit, but vadim sorted this out in no time. i finaly settled on a q6600 processor as this is fast enough to play games and its not too expensive, and i chose a 9800gtx,2gb ram and 2x 250gb HD in raid 0. i wanted a pc that would keep cool, so i selected the Antarctic cooling. I am very impressed with this as in my coolermaster case there was enough room to fit 10 fans! and they are all temperature controlled, so i can play games for hours on end without any signs of overheating. This pc is extremley fast and can play almost every game to date at MAX on a 22" monitor! (1680x1050 resoluton) However when i reveved the pc there were a few small problems, firstly the large fan on the side was not connected, i was not sure if it was meant to be or not. I contaced vadim and the next day they replied telling me that they recomend plugging it in. (they also told me where to plug it in) secondly they replaced the stock cooler on the 9800gtx, the cooler was very large and was almost touching the sound card, they had put masking tape on the sound card to prevent the heat from the 9800gtx damaging the card, however some of the tape came loose and got caught in the fan on the 9800gtx and stoped the fan from spinning. i did not discover this until a day after i receved the system as the fan started to make a noise, i stuck the tape back down and the fan is now working fine. overall i think the system is great i give it 90% Well done Vadim ;)
