PC Transplant"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>If you are wondering what I am talking about have a look at this page (<a href=\"\/blog\/pc-stats\">PC Stats<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In recent times I had found that my Work PC HDD&#8217;s were running anywhere from 45-55\u00baC which wasn&#8217;t a good thing and so I got myself a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.silverstonetek.com\/product.php?pid=260&amp;area=usa\" target=\"_blank\">Silverstone PS04B Black<\/a> which has a Xigmatek XLF-F1252 120MM Fan (Extra Purchase) which now cools the 2x 250GB (Seagates) and 1x 60GB (Western Digital) drives which now run around the 37\u00baC which is a lot better.<\/p>\n<p>I did a load of looking for video reviews on this case but really could not find any about this case which was a real pain in the butt and any reviews I did find weren&#8217;t that good.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Anyway I decided on &#8220;Transplanting&#8221; the Office PC Hardware into this New Case and it has worked nicely so far and I am happy with the purchase.<\/p>\n<p>It took me a good probably 1 and a \u00bd hours to get the transplant completed as I really wanted to take advantage of some of the Cable Management that case has (I am guessing it has it) and so it took a while however I am very pleased with how it has turned out.<\/p>\n<p>The case is Black and comes with Black Screws, Risers and the entire case inside is also Black so a Black Case with Back everything which was great.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some Pictures taken while Transplanting everything across.<\/p>\n<p>These pictures are of the Old Case (Ugly AS)<\/p>\n<p><a
