Show Us Your Rig [6]

[Britton30]

That looks well done to me Bill.

Very nice, A Guy. I especially like the passive cooler on the GPU.

Cable management? Hmmph, my idea of cable management is keeping them out of the fans. Your cable management looks fine to me.

Paul, have you got any shots of your rig with the white lighting? I've been thinking about that if I make any changes because I've seen some really good results with white lighting.

Good looking rigs everyone

Thanks Bill, did you ever post pics of your rig? I am guessing if you did it was a while ago. If you did, can you find a link to said pics.

I did, was quite a while ago, and before the Nocs and I changed the GPU fan for a radiator. no clue when, or where, so here are some pics. Some are more concentrated on the radiator as they are from a post I made about installing it.

No cable management in this case, so had to make due. Modular PSU helped. Wish the case was black inside, but no window, and I rarely look inside anyway I must say, the i5-750 is a great CPU. It still lists quite high on heirarchy charts and gets a 7.4 at stock clocks. Anyway, put to shame by all your killer rigs, but suits my needs.

Looks great Bill, you did a real good job in that case for sure. Very tidy.

Here you go Kelly, it's tricky taking pics that show the true light but hopefully these are ok.

SAhe look good with white light Paul. Could you get a good snap of how you put the rad in the 5.25" bay?

That is dope!! Love the lighting!!!

 

[paulpicks21]

Thanks Shadowjk.

Thanks Gary, as Steve said before, you can fit massive rads at the top of this case, even a 480mm which would run pretty much the full width of the case. I simply used the mounting holes at the top, I have 1 fan above in the roof and the rad and another fan below. I have attached a few pics to make it clearer.

 

[Britton30]

Thanks Paul, that clears it up and the case is very nice. I could see a 480mm rad with EIGHT fans, the thing could lift off.
Josh, does dope=good?

 

[Dude]

Wow Paul, looking at the pics I am really impressed with the new case

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Paul I see a 360 radiator system in your future. The lighting is great but the red washes out the ram but maybe in person it's a cool effect?

Guys buying a new casing "today" hopefully. Cant make up my mind between these two:
This once costs almost 93$ Cooler Master: N600

And this one costs almost 104$ XIGMATEK - PRODUCT
I am a big fan of the second Xigmatek Talon case but the first one is cheaper and i like the full black look of it also. So which one should i go for??

 

[andrew129260]

Just wanting to share some temps I got today in 72 f degrees in my house....
I'm really liking my CORSAIR Hydro H55

 

[ganjiry]

Nice temps Andrew
Here's a little info about the AMD temps you maybe interested in AMD Temp Information and Guide

 

[Britton30]

Nice temps Andrew, but 9C is 48.2F. Did you connect your air conditioner?

Of those two, I would say get The Xigmatek. I personally don't like either one. The Cooler Master mounts the HDDs in a Michael Mouse HDD cage. You have to disconnect all the HDD cables, remove the cage, and partially disassemble the cage to add or remove a HDD. You don't have to deal with that Baloney Sausage with the Xigmatek.

The Cooler Master has easily removable dust filters; I can't tell if the Xigamatek has filters at all (and I even downloaded the manual, which, itself, was woefully in adequate).

The Xigmatek has better wire management opportunity. The idiot HDD cage of the Cooler Master puts all the drive cables right out in plain sight (what the heck were they on when they designed that abomination?).

The Cooler Master looks better than the crazily tilted Xigmatek (hello, Pisa called and wants its tower back) but that idiot drive cage negates that and all other advantages.

Wow,didn't notice any of those things,glad i asked. And i bought the Xigmatek Talon for 96$ with 2 extra 120mm Orange w/white LED fans. It is great. Such a nice feel to it. Best in its price range i would say. Lots of space,easy to use too. My back hurts from taking the stuff in and out all day. Anyways,some pictures:

 

[Britton30]

It looks like a nice build Ali.
