it's much less noisy than my old PC. I was thinking it may be noisy, but it really isn't.

that's what my wife said, when i first met her...i then realised, she meant 'a beast of an attitude'

I'm not really sure john. Maybe 40 or 50? I dont want it to be look too overcrowded.

50 is a good number. I had 60 in my 120cm Harlequins' Haven and it was just right.

Your new toy is certainly a beast. Ugly, yet very powerful. Enjoy!

Oh Sh**e I showed this to the other half (big gamer/PC geek) is now explaining to me how actually if you go intel you should buy a G-force graphics card. Luckily I managed to shut him up by scrolling down to the case pic as it is pretty much identical to his

Tank looks good Mark

it is industrial looking. However, on researching for cases for optimal air flow, this was the mother of them all. Plus, with the ATI radeon 5970 being 13 inches long, this is one of the few cases that can accommodate it.

Here's a pic of the tank. Not full tank, due to being careful with IAPLC rules and stuff.

NVidia fanboy eh? i was once one of those, until i discovered their way behind ATI at the moment. Especially with this card being the current fastest card on the planet....by a mile.

Re: "Prairie Lands"... partial full tank shot.

Cheers john. I will confess to a 'toothbrush' clean on the stones...George farmer style

That stray rasbora doesn't look like a Hengeli to me. Looks like an Espei. Like mine

Hengeli have far less orange on them. Much more like a glolight:

Looking good though matey. I'll have to give the pushbike a run out sometimes now I'm into the hobby again

Re: "Prairie Lands"... partial full tank shot.

I wonder how long it'd take, leeds to lincoln... I did 12 miles the other day, damn near killed me, I think I chose the worst condition roads in yorkshire!

Looks great, Mark. Looking forward to the unveiling.

Re: "Prairie Lands"... partial full tank shot.

Bout 30 minutes from my side of Lincoln to Newark

Cycle track for a lot of the way too.

looking good Mark!

Re: "Prairie Lands"... partial full tank shot.

You drivers moan about petrol prices and go the longest routes. lol

Is that place still open?

I'd be going straight down the hill then Newark Road all the way.

Re: "Prairie Lands"... partial full tank shot.

we need to hook up sometime. bashing buttons on forums is fun, but you cant beat a good old chat!

here's a snippet of the tank in video format. A few issues with white balance, but hey-ho



The rocks are 'softened' a little now. 3 or 4 months, and all should be done.
