i dont know 46 degrees under full load aint bad for a athlon xp, be better when i put a volcano 9 on

Temp is fine. Heck, mines a little higher (49c) under load. Anything below 60 under load is alright for an XP.

A lot of it depends on motherboard also. If its reading the temp from the core it will be higher than the temp from the socket. my mb read fro mteh core and is usually 50-55C... change MBM5 over so that it reads the socket thermistor... and its 40-45C That stealth cd drive looks good. One question just how the hell do you open it

i added a pieces of foam tape to the eject button so all you have to do is press lightly on the bottom right corner....its smooth

Looks very smooth. I really like the way the front of that case looks.

Love that case!
I was wondering about the added weight to the drive tray when instaling a cover like that.
I had one Memorex CD recorder I had trouble with the drive not fully shutting and had to press it the last 1/8" or so to shut it. I also have now a Sony Recorder that the drive tray seems to have a catch in and slighty sticks at times when closing.
Will adding minor weight like a cover damage the drive tray mech after time?
Another thing I wonder about. I just got a case that has a fornt door. Whats going to happen if the cd/dvd drive tries to open and the door is shut? Will it just bump and stop, or jam and break the drive?
Hadn't thought of that till I got the case.

Do you have the link or article that showed you how to do that?
My case should be in soon and I would like to try that.

Looks good!
btw, we have a very similar case
And one of the best cases's I ever had. The fact it's a bit longer than other mid tower cases comes in handy.
Article? Get crackin'
