I needed a new case and found this:


See description at Impact PCs

It has loads of wires in which I am not sure where they go. Also what appear to be thermocouples - do you attach them to the relevany components, just poke the ?CPU onebetween the CPU block and the heatsink ????

Anyone got one? HELP!

Cheers

Your motherboard will be able to report the CPU temp to your OS. Just wire the sensors to areas you want to keep a general eye on. You won't directly mount these to hardware, just fix them in position to monitor general case temps and airflow.

I'd suggest you put one in the hard disk area and one around the GPU.

Nah disagree on that one, mobo temp is not always accurate. Whack one as close to the core of CPU as possible. DO NOT put it between the core & heatsink, without decent contact between the heatsink & CPU you'll kill it in seconds.
Just put it next to the core as close as you possibly can.

There are 3 thermpcouples labled CPU, SYS and HDD. I have affixed one in each area using a small amount of bluetack as recommeded in the overclocking thread. Seems to work fine - got all the little temp graphics running now

There is also a circular black object ~ 10 mm Ø and 10 mm deep. It has 2 wires running out one side and a small hole ~ 2 mm Ø on the other side - any idea what this is?

Probably the speaker for the beeps etc, will plug onto the mobo somewhere, check the manual

Beeps are working OK I have not plugged the black thing in (AFAIK )
