Show Us Your Rig [4]

[boogieboy]

This dim bulb needs all the help he can get with his process of illumination ! lol - tired and spell check grabbed this and I didn't catch.....just happy the rig is back up and now I have my overclock back up to 4.7

boogieboy,
That's a sweet rig and I love that huge side window. You've got to have some great components and cable management with that much glass on the side......that's why my window is so small.

Thanks Alan and oh well the downside of my case that it does'nt have any hidden cable management and as im using GX-550w it has long cables and it was really hard for me to hide most of the cables on the other side of the case but still they are visible when case is opened but in clean way lol

@ paulstung

that's a nice first setup mate and big congrats i wanted to get same Elite 431 as well but i was a bit short on cash and i also thought as im still on LGA775 so i'll save money for the later as hopefully i'll be heading for Core i5 or i7 3rd Gen in the Q1 of 2013 so for now that's enough for my LGA775 setup and all the components except CPU/MOBO will jump in the new case

Boogieboy, nice looking rig. I'm not sure why you think it diesn't look good, I think it looks very good. Well done. Congratulations.

Thanks alot essenbe

Hey mate you we both have same PSU and well the cases are same too from inside as your is the newer model i notice that you can manage cables little more better like i did.. i have too much cables clutter due to other components.. here's how i did mine

Great first build paulstung, very nice.

Bilal, try some wire snips to cut the "tail" off of your zip ties.

Well I've pulled the trigger on a new case, so when it arrives in a month (backed ordered) I'll have some new pictures to show you all. Finally my case will have proper cable management, filtration, and a huge window. Thought I was headed toward a Corsair, but no I've ordered a brand new CoolerMaster Storm Stryker.

Nice looking case, Alan. It looks like it will serve you well. Plenty of fan mounts and looks to be able to handle a lot of hardware. Nice choice.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Hope so Steve, I'm excited to be able to hide my wires and show off the hardware. Then with the old case I've got plans to build a system for a friend.

paulstung- Very Nice rig, and great job on keeping it neat!

Boogieboy- Very Nice rig!

And on both your and paulstung's rigs , And as the others have said, I too like the big window!

Alan- That is a pro-choice chassis! Welldone and congrats!!
Hope to see this thread fludded with pics of it, and the goal has been set on cable management,so don't disappoint!

Looks like a nice case

I look forward to seeing your pictures in a month.

That is a big honkin' Case Alan. You'll need a new desk too.
Newegg has it in stock for $160.
The guy in the video yakked for 6 minutes before opening the case.:sarc:

 

[linnemeyerhere]

New Egg also charges CA sales tax and 25.00 S&H.....yikes. Yeah that chap has a way of dragging anything out, I do find him informative and you should see his Storm Trooper review. As for fitting under my desk it will and it will even sit on a roller stand. I'm going to try a top intake for the H100 with cool air blowing through the rad into the case then have one rear 140mm exhaust with a floor mounted 140mm intake and the two 120mm's blowing across the hard drives or possibly turning one cage to intake from the front

No kidding he drags things out. I got tired pretty quickly trying to stay with him for both videos and gave up a few minutes in.

Which is why I hate hate hate video reviews. Writtent articles are awesome because they can be corrected easily, and you can scan them for interesting/relevant tidbits.

Ok so you can comparison review the video reviews.

I've seen many video reviews that conveyed more information than could be conveyed from even a well illustrated article. That guy, however, seemed to just like to hear himself talk. At the least, he needed a script to follow.

Yes, I've watched him in several reviews, but he does recognize a lot of things others leave out and has very thorough reviews. If you can get through his self promotion. But, I like his reviews. I like to see it rather than read about it, or worse yet, find out for myself after buying the case.

Some more power for my rig

Some more power for my rig

You mean it wasn't powerful enough already? Looks great! I think it would be better if you sent one of the 690's to me.:roflmao:
