Show Us Your Rig [3]

[A Guy]

Inserted my new psu today (corsair ax1200w ) and redone some cable management and i'm very proud about it, so here are some pics, within the next week i will add a 140mm fan to the bottom of my case that takes clean air in and pushes it over the gfx, and i will also add another gtx580 in a few weeks, so i will finally sli.

Looking good

Alsisgevat,
Great work there with the cables and lighting. Can't wait to see the SLi and additional fan shots as well. Nice rig Mate !

Thanx mate, as allays I appreciate your input, I may wait to see next years 6 series nvidia before i buy another 580,but not shore yet.

anyway i just have trouble making a hole for the fan, cause their isn't mesh or holes in the bottom of the case, so my plan was to cut a perfectly round 140mm hole and just make small bore holes (4) for the fan screws.... and I wanted to achieve this with a 140mm hole saw...which doesn't seem to exist where i am from, then i saw mod links that use hole punchers but i cant find that in any hard ware store here...so as far as i can tell i think my fan on the bottom idea will not happen....

Unless you or anyone that reads this have any ideas good or bad just something that can get me started i would be super happy

Thanks A Guy, i would also like your input on my problem with the fan i mentioned in the above post,cause i would really like to add that fan,but there doesn't seem to be an easy way...

Very nice rig, Alsisgevat. Though I can't help but think that the AX1200 is a little bit of an overkill?

 

[Alsisgevat]

Yeah your right,but see i had a 800w in, and some reviews say you can sli 2x580's with 800-850w....but other reviews say you need at least 850-900wats...so at first i wanted to get the ax850 from corsair...but then i would again be on the limit of power,and upgrading from 800w to 850w seemed stupid for me. so for a little extra( I got a great deal on the ax1200) i got a jump of 450w,so enough for 580 sli and apparently even enough for triple sli 580's... So now i dont have to worry about having enough juice for my rig


Oh and I had a look at your system specs....something caught my eye....but i cant remember now....um...oh yeah

And you say my 1200w is overkill? :busted:

Stalker,
The case came out mad cool looking the front is wicked ! Love the new side intake fan and it should be able to pull needed cool air in at a good enough rate for the system. The front though is freak'n awesome !

 

[StalkeR]

Thanks Alan !
The side fan is working good,but it can't blow enough air outside,so I'll cut a hole there and pull a grill next week,so it can work better.

NICE!

Did you make the mesh for the fan or did it come with the case?

 

[StalkeR]

I made it.

 

[Alsisgevat]

Nice! looks real professional! I wan't to add a fan to the bottom of my case,but i am having trouble in doing it,so got any advice?

 

[StalkeR]

You don't need any special advice,just to be . You'll need something like this, and to be precisious.

Also if you can find static one, like this will be better.

 

[Alsisgevat]

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

 

[StalkeR]

If you don't have experience with this work,it will be good to leave that to some who is. Or, you can practice that on some old case.

 

[Alsisgevat]

Nah i think i will be able to handle a drill,i have done things way more difficult

Good stuff.
Remember to holepunch accurately first, or use a pilot hole to prevent the proper sized bit from slipping position.
But Im sure you know that already.


Been following the thread for a while, but not posting much... good to see people are still producing some excellent rigs.
Keep it up guys.

Thanx for the advice, what would you suggest to be the proper size bit? How many holes would i need for proper airflow?

 

[Mashed1316]

Awesome looking rig Boshko! the case ended up pretty well and well done with the zip ties way to go, having a mess with your cables is warming the place up!

Keep it going!

Thanks Bill and Punkster !
