Show Us Your Rig [2]

[Everlong]

Got my new case and PSU today. I just upgrade to the Coolermaster CM690II Advanced Nvidia Edition. I had the original CM690 Nvidia Edition, but the CM690II is a lot more cable management friendly. Also bought a modular Corsair 850w PSU, which is so much easier to use than a normal PSU with all the unused cables.

Only took a couple today, as I'm planning on upgrade CPU and mobo at the end of the month, so I'll be taking it apart again, so I'll take more photos then. I'll work better on the cable management too as I could pull some of the cables through to the back a bit tighter, just need to get all the cables organised behind the mobo tray.

Nice.

Question? Does that 120mm fan on the HD cage add any noise? I'm thinking about adding one like that in the same place in my HAF X case.

 

[Everlong]

I doubt it. It's just a standard Coolermaster fan, and I've used Coolermaster for a while and they are quiet, so it won't add much to the noise.

I've cleaned it up alot since the last time I have posted. Added more hard drives, a SSD, upgraded the graphics card, new power supply, etc. Here are the photos of inside of it.

And here is a shot of the desk

Looks real good. Love your wire job coming from the monitors to the PC. Nice.

Might I add that with the room between the top of the CPU cooler and top of the case you might consider adding a top fan there to help suck the air out of the top of the case.

Just a suggestion.

I'm going to do it eventually, but for right now its alright. And thank you! I can't stand the look of wires.

Here is a picture of behind the actual desk that I posted here a couple of months ago.

 

[sygnus21]

Cool.

I like the idea of tacking a power strip to the back of the desk for cleaner cable management. Really good idea. Great job.

Peace

Very nice work, I like it a lot. It's certainly worth the effort.

nice maxwell

whats holding the power board on the back?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

My guess would be double faced foam tape. As one with a glass desk as well the clean wiring is much appreciated.

 

[pparks1]

It could also be done with Velcro.

Its actually just 2 screws and 2 bolts, going through the holes in the backboard of it. And one strip of foam tape. It needs both to stay sturdy. It works very well though.

On a glass desk the clean wiring is much needed. I can't stand wires haha.

Now that's what every man needs in his cave.

This is more what I had in mind for my cave.
(can't get past the primitive association I get with the word "cave")

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Add velcro to all female under garments and just the right amount of liquor and now were talking perfect cave dwellers !

Where's my club when I need it...

If that's the case then my cave has to have a NAD T770 digital decoder with 70-watt amps and Burr-Brown DACs...

 

[s31]

thanks for the reply maxwell

sandman i suggest you take a look at running XBMC

 

[Wrams]

My system is very basic but if your talking sound quality then my 5:1 surround system with 10" 1000watt bass system shakes the house and neigbours and friends can't beleive that it all comes from a PC I think the only thing I've added to my box standard PC is the GForce GT 240 graphics card and 8GB RAM otherwise its standard HP

I want to build a awesome PC but I've not been working on PC's for some time so wouldn't know what the best of the best is these days, if you guys could build yourselves a PC and have no expense what would your ideal PC be...? Whats the best motherboard..? Whats the best graphics etc...?
