Show Us Your Rig [4]

[boogieboy]

looking good boogie it looks spotlessly clean too nice1.

if i was you though i would switch the stereo and your case around as your case will suck loads of dust in down there. i usd to keep mine low untill the lads here spotted it lol. i've noticed the difference since raising it though

Thanks ganjiry oh yes i agree it catches alot of dust beneath the rig but i clean it with vacuum cleaner actually i'm planning to get or custom build a spacious good looking flat computer desk on which i'll finally get rid of my more than 17 years old kenwood stereo system and will get a new decent 5.1 channel system and place the pc on the table..

Boogieboy, that looks very good, liking the blue lights allot. Welldone mate!

thanks alot Alsisgevat i like blue lights too

Bilal, that's a very cute girl on your profile picture good looking PC setup. I like the stand it's on.

thanks alot Gary oh meet the lovely cute Maya from Borderlands 2

Here are few shots of my pc which i took about 2 months ago and i recently bought new 3D tv for my living room so i kicked the 360 out of room. Don't mind the bad camera result my digi-cam is quiet old like 7 or 8 years :O

Really nice set up you have there Boogie

That is one Nice Build

As it arrived from NCIX. Poor cable management at the moment which was too be expected, I'll probably upgrade to a Corsair 650d in the future as well as a Corsair cooler, but for now this will suffice. Till then I'm not too worried about cable management as the case has no viewing windows and no lights. I may still route the bulk of the unused cabling under that little step it's sitting on and putting a cover plate on the front.

Very nice looking rig, clgrntboogieboy.

Nice rig, clgrnt. Seems to be good components. I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

nice rig clgrnt if there's no window or light inside but still i can see the power it deliver when gaming

 

[clgrnt]

Thanks guys, yes I love it and it rocks.

How involved is removing all the parts to paint inside the case? I had ncix build simply for warranty purposes but I think if I mark A->A, B->B I think it's a relatively simple task. I do work on aircraft after all, I think got this! Just want to make sure there's nothing unexpected I'll encounter. For simplicities sake, is it safe to leave the heatsink installed?

 

[ganjiry]

@ Boogieboy, nice1 good idea building a new desk for it, i'm planning to do the same but can't see it being just yet.

@ clgrnt, nice build you'll enjoy plenty of good hours gaming on that

 

[Alsisgevat]

clgrnt- Remove the golden pins for the motherboard, or tape over it, and just use the normal tricks when painting(sanding,water,paint,leave a week,paint ext) and make sure the paint is heat proof or can withstand high temps. I painted my dvd drive in my current build,and it still looks as it did the first time,just take your time.

 

[boogieboy]

Thanks essenbe

and yes ganjiry that would be a nice change coz not i'm tired of my table although it still looks as good as brand new after 5 years (i keep my things with so much care) i was thinking to build a large flat desk with a couple of drawers and a sliding shelf for KB and mice by keeping the simple look and to practice but problem is i lack in equipment for cutting wood ply.. need to buy that woodcutting hand machine and few other tools other than that i'm sure i'll be able to make something simple in the start and maybe in future i'll make something stylish

Nice rig there!

But your 2x4gb Vengeance blue Ram Sticks should be on the blue slots A2 & B2 for a better efficiency & overclocking!

 

[Pedroc1999]

OMG, attention to detail!!!, nice spotting

 

[clgrnt]

Understood, I'll look into that more and make the switch!

I just got done sorting out some stuff, firstly the cabling. I couldn't do much more did I want to go overboard. Just hid some of the extra cabling from the PSU. Short of a new case or a modular I'm not going to put in huge efforts to only see moderate results. That combined with an unpainted case, not worth it right now.

The other was the top vent. I don't have a fan installed so no positive pressure keeping stuff out. It's also under a desk so being a horizontal surface a lot of shit was going in so voila, sheet air filter material to keep the nasty out. It flows well, and the temperature increase if any would be so small I'm not at all concerned.

 

[Britton30]

clgrnt you have used "shitty" and "shit" in two posts now, stop it! I'm not offended but this is a family-friendly site and your language is not.

nice1 i'm the same mate, if u look after your stuff it not only stays looking good but when u change/ upgrade its easier to sell the old.
i always keep the boxes from components n stuff as ts easier to sell them with it, my mrs does'nt seem impressed tho

as for building a desk. as long as u plan ahead and take your time pretty much anythin is accomplishable. definately makes life easier with tools tho
good luck

 

[Alsisgevat]

Ganjiry - I never keep boxes for longer then 3 months, if it keeps working after 3 months,it will allways work

Boogieboy - Thats gonna be a fun project, best part is you can customize the desk the way you want, for multi screens ext. Goodluck mate

Britton30 - Well said mate.
