Re: Post your computer rig pics

Got myself another monitor, now I just need one more.

New system specs:

AMD Phenom 965BE overclocked to 4.2ghz 

Zalman CNPS10X Performa Heatsink with push pull fan configuration

ASUS M47AXTD EVO Motherboard

8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM 

XFX HD6870

Corsair TX850 PSU

Harman Kardon Soundstick III speakers

Acer GD245HQ 24" Monitor

Acer G245HQ 24" Monitor

Windows 7 64bit OS

Well, I won't post a picture of mine, it's in a bit of a mess, the side panels are lacking as my dad made an error in exactly what needed posting when he shipped it to me from Perth (Western Australia) to Melbourne (Victoria), he thought they were scrap metal... so, a new case has been on the wishlist for a while, but my rigs a few years old so I'm in the middle of a build at the moment, I'll post my current specs as not all the new parts have been purchased.

4GB DDR2

MSI 9600GT 512MB

Intel E8400 Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz

Asus P5Q SE/R

4TB spread out across 3HDDs

Windows 7 Professional x64 (Got it for free from MSDNAA while I was studying Certificate 3 in IT)

Hey Unreal, is that a custom bracket to hold the monitors?

-

Your setup is pretty similiar to mine as it goes, those HK Soundwaves are mint huh?

Look at this powerhouse.

...

God I'm terrible at Sarcasm.

Basic as can be, Pretty much.

Here is the current PC I'm building. I have a feeling that I've missed something in favour of a pair of socks.

-

WT... (nauseate) ???

Don't you miss a case? (and i tought, mine is the "ugliest" rig if we see the outer design)

Well don't be angry

I got all the pieces together only to find out that they don't fit the case I had for them, so now I have to wait until I can get hold of another.

Currently using my old PC for every day use and gaming, only turning the caseless one on when I want to stream something to my TV which unfortunately doesn't always work as Windows 7 keeps forgetting that the XP Pro I have on my other computer exists.

Took a quick pic, wires to be tidied up soon.

Now that is a very nice looking set-up.

CPU - i5 2500

-

MB - P8Z68-V Pro Gen3

-

RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB

-

GPU - MSI GTX 560Ti Twin Frozr II

-

HDD - 1TB internal & 1TB external

-

PSU - Corsair Professional Series AX750

-

Case - NZXT Phantom with custom side panel.

-

CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Love the case.  Saw a Pink one a while ago at Canada Computers, and it was like Waaaa??!!??

It's a great case but I wish the dust filters where easier to gain access to. The one for the PSU is underneath the case that simply clips on or off but the case isn't exactly light.

The option to slide it off like the Cosmos 2 would be great.

I don't see why something as simple as that is exclusive to really high end cases in this day and age.

Did a bit of cable management the other day. Got myself some Bitfenix silver braided extensions. Very pleased with them, just need to order some more so i can hide the power/reset/HDD activity leads, and 2 6pin ones for the graphics card.

Sorry about the pic quality.

I've swapped out my old 1TB HDD that was ripped out of a Packard Bell and installed an Intel 520 SSD that's 120 GB and a WD 1TB Black HDD.

Do you see any noticeable speed benefit from the SSD?

-

I've always been tempted but I balk at the price for the size you get compared to traditional hard drives.

When I first installed it it was fast but not what I expected. Until I installed all my mobo drivers (specifically the JMicron JMB36X(JMB362) Controller Driver) from disc and suddenly it was super fast.

Is that a Cosmos II?

It is a work of art.

Yes it is :-) i have a GTX 670 on now

I upgraded to a 670 a few days ago. MSI Twin Fozr Power Edition.

i have the EVGA GTX 670 FTW hopping to buy another one in the coming weeks to SLI it

Dear lord don't make me jealous. My old Geforce 8600GTS looks creakier by the day as it is.

You should update sooner rather than later imo. Sure the 8600GTS still holds up but after 4 or 5 years now, you should definitely update to the 600 series since you'll notice a huge jump.

Finally got round to upgrading the stock fans to some Bitfenix Spectre Pro's and fitted the last few braided cable extensions. The cables are silver braided, but the camera on my phone does not do them all justice!

I love the space when using these coolant systems, but I cannot put faith in the seals under a $1200 processor. Air works fine, but more noisy. Those PSU wires look very interesting, and more of a custom/hand built look like some space hardware.

Its a sealed unit, i was a tad dubious at first, but it does its job very, very well.

That's a fantastic build.

With my new card installed:

Don't have a camera on me sadly. so my specs will have to do for now.
