I finally got enough spare time to put my comp inside its new house. Yes the new case (Chieftec Aluminium Dragon) is up and almost running smoothly, for some reason the LED's dont come on. Ive checked the connectors 3 times and they are in the right way for the mobo but nothing happens when i turn it on, any ideas anyone?
Apart from that everything is great, my case temp has come right down by about 10 degrees to 27*C and the CPU temp has also come down to about 46 when idle then it goes up to about 50 when im playing a game. It was 54 when idle and a bit higher when i played a game before. I think I might need a new fan on me heat sink it makes a funny noise at the moment.
Ive also only got about half the fans I had before so its a bit quiter than it was and I could probably get the temps to go down further if I tried. Anyway apart from all that boring stuff it looks sweet, all silver and a door to hide the cd drives so I dont have to spray them straight away.
By the way the temps are using Motherboard Monitor and they are on a 1.4 Athlon ThunderBird.

I dont know if I want to change the whole thing but just put a bigger fan on the heatsink I have at the moment, do you think that will help?
