Show Us Your Rig [5]

[Wrenches]

I got this Xigmatek Gigas cube case when it was $80 off (sells at $150) at Newegg. It was bigger than I thought but I like it. It really keep cool inside. It has 4 case fans at low rpm.

Really good design on component layout.

Never saw a case like that, kinda neat. Nice find Wrenches.

Unusual case, Wrenches. I like it.

@shinigami8671, Don't know how much room you have behind the motherboard. But, what I do is run all the cables out the back. Then sort them as to where they are going. Run them to where they go and tie them down. Run the CPU power cable all the way to the right of the back and use an extension to run it back in as close to where it connects as you can. You should be able to force it between the motherboard tray, and the back housing all the way to the back and up the very right side to connect to the extension. Most of the other cables are going to the left side. That should leave you some room in the middle for unused cables. Use whatever space you have left to tie down or hide the unused cables.

Nice looking case, wrenches, although any woman will tell you that black is slimming.

 

[Wrenches]

Thanks guys and yeah, I'd prefer black but it's not $80 off for it so hi ho silver it is.

Those ugly fans are beautiful. Somebody for sure will be happy with that rig.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Beige is beautiful ! lol

 

[essenbe]

Very good job, Alan. That looks like a great build. Very nice wiring job too. Well done, and you know I'm a fan of beige (no pun intended. Well, maybe a little).

 

[paulpicks21]

Looks real nice, and great choice of case

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Thanks gentlemen I've got it all set up and the little misses hasn't even come in to start it up yet. She got a 17" i5 lappy she's been "learning" W8 and she had to go out and just purchase W8 for Dummies......yikes. I hope when she see's and powers this up she'll enjoy it? It runs like a mad dog and WEI scored 7.5, 7.5, 7.8, 7.8, 7.9

 

[Britton30]

Are you crippling that new build with Win 8 Alan?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Nope all desktops are W7 but Cindy's new lappy she bought against my wishes is a great lappy running a strong i5 but with W8 and I'm not spending enough time playing with it to be of any help.

Computer porn, Alan. Computer. Porn.

When you present it to him you should joke around about a labor fee.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

I can't wait to see his face light up when he boots it for the first time.
