Show Us Your Rig [3]

Very nice Britton. +1
But one suggestion for the case. Level 10 is too expensive, I'll not go with it. You can get something else from CM, like HAF X or Chaser MK-I.

Nice suggestion, Boshko. The rig I just sold was in a HAF X case and I really liked it. The HAF X is on my short list too.

I love my HAF X case aswell but I have been eyeballing this one lately

Newegg.com - AZZA Genesis 9000 CSAZ-9000B Black 0.8mm SECC ATX Full Tower Computer Case:

I also like this one (the filters are great but parts of the case feel cheap)

Newegg.com - NZXT SWITCH 810 Black CA-SW810-B1 Steel / Plastic ATX HYBRID Full Tower Gaming Computer Case:

Both come in black or white. I think the NZXT also comes in a matte finish.

Thanks, Jeepman. I have never looked at the Azza case, I'll watch the video. But, I have been watching the switch 810 for a while. If you like, I'll send you a You Tube Review of it where the guy goes into a lot of depth about water cooling and what can be done with it. I only have 1 problem with it. I don't like the asthetics of it, bit once inside, it has to be the best case in it's price range around.

No worries I prefer MSI mobo's and GPU's as well. But so many here have issue with MSI.

Alan, the only problem I have between the Sabertooth and the ROG board is the Sabertooth does not light up "Republic Of Gamers" in the middle when you turn it on.

Sure, send it my way! Thanks!

I have been watching both of them, I think they are my top two. (been thinking of changing my case at some point)

I just like the flush armor look and in theory the cooling channels that pull heat out of the board. The ROG is a crazy nice board as well.

Yes, I like that too. Just so many decisions and so little time....But it sure is fun.

I figured time was one thing you had on your side seeing as your "Spare" rig is as good as most "main" rigs lol.

I certainly agree with you on the so many decisions part though. I know you want to get the right parts so you will be happy and this makes it even harder.

Steve, you have to sit down and make that old fashioned pro and conn list, It usually helps allot when buying expensive stuff. And your gonna have times where you bought the wrong stuff, or went overboard, like me with the new wc stuff, I just finished installing it all and bussy setting up windows, but the way its set up now is way different then I planed for,if you compare what I did today with the pic I made in paint a while back on my wc guide, then its 2 complete different things, I kinda like how it looks now, and my cpu is running at a very cool (for a 2011 chip) 15 degrees! So it looks allot different, I spent way more then what was needed, but atleast its up and running now

But, you got what you wanted and that's what's most important. At the end of the day, it's a computer for you, not everyone else. Nice temps too.

You're right there's really no hurry. But, I know me. I'll agonize over parts and cases and everything else for a long time. Then one day I'll wake up and decide I'm tired of all this agonizing the just buy parts, and whatever I get, I'll make do.
