Show Us Your Rig [2]

[pparks1]

I have a Biostar TA790GXE mobo and the 9800GTX+ and it feels like the video card barely fits.. :X

Wierd. I think my case is only 2 inches taller than yours, it's the same width and depth and mine seems cavernous with a 9800GTX+ installed.

 

[96accord]

This is with the old setup (Intel Mobo, Intel Processor, ATi 256MB X1900GT video card)

*Excuse the cable management since I suck at it!!! * (I'm ashamed of it - it looks worse now than there)

PParks: Did you keep the same PSU? 620w??

PParks: Did you keep the same PSU? 620w??

Yes, I'm sticking with my Corsair HX620 power supply. I have no reason to upgrade it.

 

[kurahk7]

I need to re-do my system. I can't compete with you all!

I feel my Antec 900 case is too small.. :X Anyone else agree?

I also have the Antec 900 but after doing some wire management, it doesn't feel so small.

kurahk7- that cable management made a huge difference,nice job

Who knew I would grow to love looking at the inside of computers and by the length, comments and pictures in this thread...I'm not alone in this. Fancy or plain, clean or messy, expensive or value they all have the uniqueness of their owners vision, wishes and dreams. There is no best as the mark is being moved by technologies every second so we all chase and save and plan or live with what works for us with changes now and then or in huge sweeping changes. To my eye's I enjoy every post and I want to commend all of us for finding one of the cornerstones of this hobby !

People say the eyes are the windows to the soul, not sure how true that is.... But a side window on a computer case definitely shows it's true character.

Besides, I'm just another person who looks at threads like this as a good reason to give my PC a look of it's own. As for new technology, I haven't even moved out of the dual-core or DDR2 era yet.. It doesn't really bother me though, it's my baby and she does what I need while looking good. Although, I should hopefully be making the jump to quad-core and DDR3 in about 2 months' time....

Look forward to seeing that,remember to post some pics. And i personally love working on my chassis,even if its just like adding a new fan or cleaning all the parts, it just relaxes me

I definitely will, don't worry.. Getting a Bulldozer compatible motherboard will be a rather momentous occasion for me.

Unfortunately, I've lost all my respect for XFX, so I'm going to travel the black and blue road this time, see how Asus treats me. In which case I may find myself itching to spray that red panel on my GTX275 blue and change all my lights. :sarc: I wouldn't be surprised if that does actually happen...

I have had my troubles with xfx too, and i garentee you asus rocks,especially if you go for the republic of gamers edition,with this you can keep the red panel cause the boards are black and red,even if it's just for the look

Since we share the same country i have a few places i can suggest for you if you don't already have your own personal shops haha

For me it is the same with performance cars. To look at the engine, exhaust, suspension, brakes. When high performance parts are installed. Even the parts by themselves laid out on the floor are cool. A Guy

With an eye for Art comes a inquisitive "Form follows Function" no matter what the object, sound, vision, device, activity, taste or concept.......I say live it with Art !

There's just something about SLI or Crossfiring that just looks sexy to me.....maybe it's the copper ribbon jumps, damn I just have to crossfire my GPU even if I don't gain a wit of speed it just looks so cool. Great rig WolfSoul !

Well.... I'd love a ROG, really really would.... But they're ever so slightly out of my price range at the moment. I'm only going about R1700 on the board, specifically the M5A99X Evo from RebelTech; I need to keep some for the Phenom II x4 970.

Oooh..... Dual 570's... Very nice!

A while back I had two old 8800GTS 320MB cards in SLI.... Even disregarding the model numbers, those two black 570's are.... Well, calling them 'gorgeous' just doesn't do them justice.

 

[WolfSoul]

That IS a ROG lol Not the 570's though.. just the "plain" 570 DC II
And my X-Fi is sandwiched between them.. but you can't see that on the pic

Yeah,i know what you mean,but you can get the asus rog maximus gene for R2000,so only 300 more than you want to spend...and why do you want amd? Don't like the power of intell...?:roflmao: Oh and have a look at prophecyshop,free delivery and very good prices.

RoG's are great but very expensive. The RoG 580 is over a thousand bucks.
