ks752 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 I am trying to figure out what I am going to do with some of my 5 pci slots. So I thought I would make a list of things that sound cool to put in it, then hopefully all of you have some ideas or things you have already done. Right now I have the following ideas...(I am leaving out a network/modem card because those are integrated into all the new boards) 1) Sound card (5.1-7.1) 2) TV capture card 3) Extra USB or Firewire That's all I can think of at the moment.

Paranoid Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 If you don't really need them, just leave the slots empty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybergrunt69 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 well there are some slot coolers.. that go in the PCI slots... I agree - I think fan boards that go in PCI slots are decent. They may not have the same cfm as a 120mm, but it is some extra airflow. It may or may not help, but you can also direct it to your video card. Extra bonus - it's yet another place to put uv lights without needing light bars... B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
