Megatouch Aurora power up.

Sounds good lilshawn.  I usually always order my stuff from newegg and almost always order gold rated power supplies.  Usually less problems and most of the time a better warranty.  But I guess you pay for that in price.  I will shoot for 300watts.

I know I am beating a dead horse right now with this clear plastic thing.....found out its called a "halo" by reading the technical documentation.  Can you tell me what the difference is between the halo and halo glass?  It just looks really ugly with a big chip in it.  Worst case scenario is I will just cut it down and make it look decent but then all the nifty lights don't work as well to give off that glow.

Suzo Happs has both in stock....except the halo(part # MW1411-01) is over 200 and the halo glass(part # SA0613-01) is around 40.

Thanks,

One other question.......if I am going to replace my cpu fan should I get the exact kind or can I get a quieter one?  The one that is on there right now is a Top Motor db126015BU which is a blower type fan.  I have other 60mm fans laying around here brand new that are your normal cpu/case fan.  Or do I need the blower type?

Thanks,
Peja

the halo is the main metal supprt piece i talked about before that I had to replace. it's a loop of metal that attaches to the base and goes up and over the top behind that clear piece. it supports the monitor and keep everything steady.

the clear piece is the "halo glass". it sits around the outside and is attached to the halo. it's the portion that sticks out and the light shines out of it.

Excellent news than.  $40 isn't too bad for that plastic piece.  I assume it can be installed separately?  I'm glad I don't have to replace that metal piece....crazy it costs that much. 

Thanks for the response lilshawn.

it's design doesn't allow for any other type of fan. it has short fins and relies on the high speed air velocity to cool it. a regular fan won't flow enough air over the fins and your cpu will overheat.

there isn't really a whole lot of room in there for much else. i suppose if you are "freeplaying" it for home use you can remove some of the metal that normally holds the coin box/ bill acceptor and gain some vertical space there. if you go with a standard cpu cooler, be aware you will have to source a cpu cooler holder for it to clamp to. the stock cooler uses a custom plate on the back to attach itself to the board. (or source a cooler that attaches the same way.)

the other option would be going to the intel atom board series
