Wow, a 2nd 580 Some serious power there!

Fair play!

I have just finished with my case and moved parts, so here are the pictures.
The 120mm fan inside

As you said stalker, putting mesh infront of that fan instead of those holes will increase airflow significantly. Other then that, looking good!

I'll be ordering an Antec 300 (Because it's very cheap to mod and is a decent case) So i can practice cutting some fan holes with a 300 series dremel, and cutting an acrylic window etc. So hopefully I can post that up in a month or so.

where your home address? I am going to rob your computer
i have a low spec pc, and my processor heat sink is damaged
so now I only have a mild overclock (no more than 5%) (d)

So, good luck with that !

Cool, thanx i think i will stick with the drill...it's gonna be hard to dis assemble the case.

If you're going to be drilling and/or cutting a metal case, you should get some masking tape... Sticking the masking tape to the area you're going to be cutting/drilling, then use it to mark where you need to holes/cuts to be. Not only does this help line things up nice and easily, but cutting/drilling through the masking tape also helps with keeping the drill from walking as you start.

I find this works better than using a punch to mark the spot (especially on flimsy cases), and it helps with accuracy if you plan to drill a 1mm or 2mm pilot hole first. Actually, to be honest, these same tips apply to cutting/drilling perspex as well..


Anyway, I came to brag... I just received the first of my 3 part PC upgrade for this year-end. I can't use it yet (going to test them in a friend's PC soon just to make sure they work), but so far I've received my Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 2x2GB kit. Now I just need to get the motherboard and CPU.....

Thanks.. Those would be two of the biggest reasons for my choice of hardware.. They'll be running alongside a i5-2500K on a MSI Z68A-GD65(G3) board in about 2 months' time. So... It's most definitely going to be overclocked.

 

[speedgamer01]

@Alsisgevat Sweet looking setup!

Here is my go

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Speedgamer 01,

Very clean set up. I look at that desk and think how do I get to that level of tidy? My works cut out for me and thanks for that ! lol
Great work on your rig !

 

[speedgamer01]

Thanks Alan,

Actually my rig was pretty dusty so i grabbed my air pump and it was dust free in like 5 minutes
On the left and the right side (which is not visible) of the desk I usually have loads of papers and books (since i'm a student)

And your gonna have the same cpu as me, verry nice choice now all we need is for you to loose the msi and get yourself an asus ROG board...haha.

When can we xpeckt to see photos of this new rig? And remember, I want that rig clean, the desk should be as spotless as speedgame01's, the cable manegement as clean a mine( I don't have my second card yet,nor did I get time to fit the fan, so this is my high-lite of the week lol) and atleast some sighns of overclocking. I await those pics with high anticipation.

Nice headphones....

speedgamer, it will be good to do some cable management...

 

[ZaLiTH]

Sure, that would be awesome... Could you maybe buy one for me? I'll pay you back, one day, maybe, in the distant future, after we colonize Mars and FTL drives and time travel and... Hmm... Yeah, then.

...the desk should be as spotless as speedgame01's...

I've heard many times that a clean desk is the sign of a dirty mind... Lol. Although if that were true, I'd probably clean my desk (and everything else in my home) every waking hour, so maybe not.. :sarc:

Ablsolutely true :devil:

I did my best a few months ago, my aim was to not to block any air flow. It looks messed up, but the air can go right through the 2 fans. Also a modular psu would be great

Awesome ZaLiTH! that rig will kick some butts! I have a decent Core i5-2310 with an MSI PH67A-C43 (B3) and 8GB (soon to be 16GB) Kingston KVR 1333MHz, i did a little stress test today with Prime 95 for 30mins and with the stock cooler and 30ºC room temp never got above 67ºC, it idles a little bit high (40ºC) but i'll be buying a Thermaltake Frio from work (it's been laying there for a few months so i could get a pretty damn good discount for it) to cool the processor down i definitely want to see your completed build

[speedgamer01]

That's a sweat system, congrats on that! I'd buy some Mushkin ram, but unfortunately they are not sold in europe.
