Show Us Your Rig [5]

[mjf]

I remember (honestly) going into a garage in New Jersey when I worked there with some car trouble. I asked the mechanic if I should pop the bonnet. He looked at me like I was a cigarette until his boss explained.

I took an old Compaq's innards and transferred them to a used case for my stepson. IT still has XP. He found them both in the trash. The board is so old there are no SATA ports on it and it has a floppy drive.
This is a real nice case, a Gigabyte 3D Aurora, but not much in the way of cable management.
Pentium4 2.66GHz, 1GB DDR400, 160GB HDD IDE 133. Slower than molasses in January.

He had dropped off 6 junkers and wanted two or three good ones out of it, he got 2 and I got a spare Corsair 530W modular PSU and the old Compaq case for a micro ATX build someday.

Nice job Gary

You might try one of those IDE to SATA converter boards.
NewEgg or the real cheap ones from eBay (made in China)

 

[Britton30]

Thanks Jack, I'd thought of one of those, but the boy isn't too keen on spending money, just MY time.

Hello Guys!

Haven't been around in a very long while, and probably won't be able to check in as often as I'd like to for a long while.

As I told Steve, who contacted me via PM some weeks ago, I was enjoying my self so much with the building thing that, together with my younger brother, I started a performance and modding shop a couple of months ago. It is called Skull Squadron Extreme Gaming and Performance.
We are doing very well so far and it is the first time in my life that I'm thrilled to have to go to the office every morning.

I miss your companionship and good vibes guys!

Steve, Alan, Ryan, Tommy, Paul and Alsis: your advice, friendship, positive comments and patience were instrumental in making the decision to start this new business venture. Thanks a lot!

As I promised to Steve, I will be regularly posting pics of what we are doing for your viewing pleasure but most of all for your comments, advice and critique.

Next Monday we will start putting together a very special high performance rig to be presented in a trade show by the end of the month. It will be called "Steve's Death Star". Will post pics of the whole process and some pro shots of the end result. It will be an awesome rig!

For now I leave you with some pics of what's on the workbench right now and will upload some more of previous builds in other posts.

Again, thanks a lot!!!

Awsome stuff, Juan. Hang around here more, I'm sure you take a break occasionally. Those are some fantastic pics you posted. I can't wait to see the next pics. Congratulations on opening the shop. Very well done. Hope it works out well for you.

 

[Bungee18]

Thanks a lot Steve!

Here are some pics of one we did for you nemesis a few weeks ago.
The pics were taken by my brother, that's why they suck. Not my fault, obviously! Hahhaha!

Cheers,

J

 

[Bungee18]

Here are some pics of one of the first rigs we did.

Very nice specs too:
-i7 3770K
- Gigabyte G1.Sniper 3
-2 x MSI N680 Twin Frozr III
-16GB GSkill Sniper 1866 CL9
- NZXT Hale82 850W
- NZXT Switch 810

and a very nice green themed water cooling system for the CPU.

Regretfully, and thans agian to my brother and partner, we do not have any good pics to show for it.
Here you have what I could rescue from his godawful shots.

Just tell me when you get bored with the pics and I'll stop.

Cheers,

J

Here are some of a "lightweight" gaming rig which I particularly enjoyed putting together and like a lot.

The last pics were taken by the customer, 'cause my brother, again, couldn't be bothered to take any proper ones before delivering the rig. I'm ready to kill him!

Cheers,

J

Damn Bungee I'm Jealous those Rigs look sick

 

[Bungee18]

Hahhaha Tommy. I seriously doubt that you are jealous. You have an awesome rig to which you have no doubt done some serious upgrades while I wasn't around (if I know you ).

On the other hand you should be jealous of the fact that I'm doing 3 or 4 totally cool builds every week!!! Hahhahaha!

Here are some of another "lightweight" which turned out to be a great gaming rig and a total pleasure to build.

You'll notice two different video cards, because the original Asus HD7970 DirectCu II TOP died within 3 minutes of powering the rig up and had to be replaced with a GTX680 DirectCu II, C'mon Asus, what does TOP stand for?

Cheers,

J

 

[essenbe]

Darn, Juan those are some awsome rigs you're building. I'm jealous too. We never get tired of pictures, the more, the merrier. Keep them coming. You do great work.

 

[ganjiry]

Gratz Juan. Thats a big achievement in such a short time.
Nice pic's chap

Hum wondered where you had been head down and oblivious obviously!! Niced pieces there mate the cabling I thought exceptional!!

 

[Bungee18]

Thank you Steve and Ryan!
I'm having such a great time you wouldn't believe it.

Here are some of a rig we put together for a very well known local musician, hence the small, silent video card and the additional firewire pci card.
Yeap, we have some famous customers!!! Hahhaha. Actually we did a few rigs for musicians and recording studios after we did this one. The guy was so happy with it that he recommended us to his friends! Will post some of them when I'm in the office. I have the pics in an external drive there.

The kinks in the hoses going up are just in case he decides to install a larger video card and turn the rig into a gaming beast. The guy is not only a cool musician but also a gaming addict.

Here you go.

Cheers,

J

 

[Bungee18]

Thanks a lot John!

You are absolutely right: It's been a blast for the last couple of months.

I'm glad you noticed the cabling. We put a lot of effort into it.

Cheers,

J
