[POLL] - Entire PC or just the components?

<< < (2/4) > >>

AlanS17:
I had a video card overheat in my first cab when I was running games in Zinc. Locked up the whole machine. Took me a while to figure out the problem.

eccs19:
My bartop is only what is needed, as the entire PC won't fit. As long as all is well ventilated, then all should be good.

TOK:
Right now, I'm the lone straggler in "some of each".

I'm using cases, but hacked up and screwed down to the floors of the cab. I tried using just a motherboard on the second cab, but didn't like how the cards seemed so exposed and floppy. Considered making a wooded strip for them to mount similar to the way they screw onto a PC case, but ultimately just used the case.

I did remotely mount the drives in that machine so that you can easily reach the CD from behind the coin door.

Havok:
Just components mounted directly to the side of the cab in mine: I mounted the motherboard "sideways" so that the video card heat sink is pointing up (the way it should be!) and have no cooling issues at all. My cabinet regularly is left on when the kids forget to shut it down, and no problems! I also have no extra fans: only a cpu and (internal) power supply fan...

PedroSilva:
I have a complete PC, but without the sides for better cooling ...
