Show Us Your Rig [4]

[Gadsdan]

Gadsdan, Very nice example of white as the new black.....cool !

Thank you. I've been on Macs for years so I thought I'd soften the surprise.

Well, Welcome aboard SF and PC !

Well, Welcome aboard SF and PC !

Thanks. It's really quite the change. I'm liking a lot of it, but also looking for some of my Mac staples. I'm hoping to get Office through work for cheap. On my Mac I had a program called PixelMator. Paid $30 for it and it did most of the things that the average person would do with Photoshop. I'm not going to shell out hundreds for Photoshop, so I'm looking for a program to replace PixelMator.

Photoshop Elements goes on sale regularly and it's a solid performer ! When you get a chance add another 2 sticks of matching ram then check out this little free program !

There's a little learning curve, but Gimps is free and can do most things. GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program If you run into problems, post on the customizations thread where the Graphics experts hang out. They can provide help and a lot of programs to use.

Very nice rig there Gadsdan. Very clean. Looks like you put a lot of planning and work into it. Congratulations.

Thank you. It's my first build. A buddy at work helped out quite a bit, took us about 6 hours but that included a trip to Best Buy, dinner, set up, some trouble shooting, downloading a few must haves, and modifying some settings.

I know I'll be adding an SSD soon and I think I want to change the Corsair fans. They are kinda loud.

I've spent like 2 minutes using GIMP and I already like it! Thank you.

Nice neat job on the wiring Gadsdan and good choice of hardware for the build.

I really like your build and the way you got inside of it to take one of the pics.

Paint.NET is another good image editor/maker, most of my work is done on it.

They also have some good plug-ins to expand it funtions too. http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/forum/7-plugins-publishing-only/

Lmao! Christmas is getting to you lot enit

@Gadsdan, Very nice n clean. You've got plenty of room in there for any future upgrades so that case could last you a good while. Nice1

I think you must be the first person to post a pic of inside the case while all panels are on though

Well you should be. Excellent choices in parts, and cable management par excellence! Get an SSD and you've got a kickin' system that will do what you want for some time.

Thank you, and I was just messing around with the front panel off and thought why not. I have a habit of taking pictures at unusual angles or perspectives.

Thanks, and I will be adding an SSD soon. I'm just holding out and hoping one goes on a really good sale around or after Christmas.
