That would be very very cooooooooool. And If anyone can do it she can...





(you see with that compliment she now has to make it,hehe joking)

 

[essenbe]

Alsisgevat, great looking rig. I don't care what Alan does to his computer, keep posting pictures. I only want to know how you got that cup out of the drive bay.:roflmao:

 

[linnemeyerhere]

So here's my latest picture of me and my rig, thanks to my ex-friend !

 

[Dave76]

Nice rig Alsisgevat, excellent work, enjoy it you deserve to.

 

[Terronium 12]

Alsis is going to make me purchase new watercooling parts sooner than I intended.

Awesome stuff man. Also, if you don't mind my asking and this goes for anyone willing to answer: how difficult is it to sleeve PSU cables?

 

[essenbe]

It's a real PITA. Corsair sells sleeved cable kits for their PSU's or you can get the NZXT cable extensions, which are really nice.

 

[Terronium 12]

Hm.

These should work with the HX1000, right? I know it says HX and TX support but I wanna be absolutely certain.

I can then pick up an extension for the ATX... and I'm not even going to worry about the EPS since the rad blocks it, but I should probably buy one for that too anyway. No sense in half-assing it.

 

[Alsisgevat]

Terronium- those are the same as what I bought,but mine was for the ax series, I did buy sleeving and all the tools and I slieved my fans on the rad and a few other small stuff, but it takes forever,and never looks rights, the best part about buying the pre-sleeved kit is that you get exactly all the same cables as you had at first, and the sleeving is very high qaulity, but you only get 4 colors,red,blue,white and black, I am not sure how far back, but if you look through this thread about 20-30pages back you will see some pics of the pre sleeved cables I bought, and it is worth it. but a litlle expensive at first.

Dave-thanx mate, I appreciate it.

Essenbe- I had to heat it up so the plastic got soft,then I quickly forced it through the gap,so pretty easy hehe, I got lucky there, when I bought my pump top it came with a 140res, so without planning it,it worked well when trying to fill it up

Linnemeyerhere- thats a nice rig, but very dusty,and please lift the rig dont drag it...

 

[essenbe]

I think these are the complete kits from Corsair. I use the NZXT extension cables, they're quite nice and with the HX serise, you will have to buy them and the pcie too. The only problem with the NZXT cables is you now have 9" more cable to deal with. But, they look good.

 

[essenbe]

While we are asking questions, what's the difference in a D5, DDC, Alphacool VPP655, and the Swiftech MCP 655 water pumps?

 

[Terronium 12]

Flow rate, mostly.

655 is still the king, I believe. Or is that the D5?

*forgetful*

 

[Alsisgevat]

They are the same, just different stickers, all 655 are d5's but swiftec gives better warenty, but if you have a small chassis get a 355 from swiftec, it is the same power as a 655 but allot smaller and compact

Welcome to SF! I was wondering the same thing. Sweet set up though!

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Damage80, Welcome to SF. My first thought was a concern over a steady diet of Dr. Pepper and Cheez-it's....lol I like the blue hints on the case. You've built a wicked gaming rig and I as well wonder how doing work on that screen is but maybe it's more of a kick your feet up and blast away rig. The good news is when video chatting you won't have any double chin action showing !

 

[Damage80]

(steady diet of Dr. Pepper and Cheez-it's)? LOL oops! Really no need for concern. IM 5-11
212 pounds, athletic. I do have high blood pressure so there is room for concern there but otherwise my health is pretty good
And to others who have replied regarding how high my monitor is it lowers and tilts up and down. when im gaming i kick back and raise the monitor up and tilt it down so my head rest on the back of my chair and im very comfy. I have a nice thick Office chair that leans back so no neck pain its quite comfortable for long competitive gaming sessions. Gaming and custom builds is one of my hobbies to keep me out of trouble. For me its all about achieving the highest performance and stability possible with out spending unnecessary money. Here are a few examples, posted below my bench scores that seem to be above most who have rigs in the same class or better, its all about how you match your components and configure the bios and tweak windows. Some people buy high end gpu's but have a major bottle neck in their system, or lack psu power... Let me know what you think of my bench scores...
The WEI For Memory and Primary Disk at one time where 7.9 with a diff memory config, it seems your memory and cpu configs effect you ssd perfromance and scores...

note: My cpu is overclocked to 4.4 Ghz w/speed step disabled my ram is manually set to its rated speeds of 8-9-8-24 @ 1600 mhz (1.65 v) i read good things about the patroit viper extreme D-2 so im going to try to oc it to 1866 most likely @ cl9 if im lucky 8-10-8-27 or close.

Sounds like a finely tuned setup you got going there. And definitely a nice rig behind it all too!

To be honest, I've got a lazy-boy in front of my computer desk. Can't say it's exactly perfect, but it's darn comfortable.. Whether I'm coding websites in my spare time or playing games, it works quite well.

*note to self: find a smiley in lazy-boy....
