Show Us Your Rig [6]

Looks great, Paul. You've hit the big time now. Me, I'm still on the bottom rung of the ladder.

If that's true, I haven't found the ladder yet!

paulpicks21 - Looks awesome, I still envy the duel screen-ers

I think 24" monitors are the new 19" they really are sweet side by side and I'm waiting for some real thin bezel designs to go on sale then upgrade to (3) and get a triple monitor stand to get them off the desk. Once you go two monitors you'll never go back to just one !

 

[ganjiry]

Looking good Paul, Nice 1 mate

I was giving the new 29" extra wide screen monitors a hard look because of my outer space problem (I'm "outer" desk space) but decided the ends would have too much of a parallax issue. Instead, I'm going to have to modify a drawer and relocate my ADF scanner into it. Even then, to get three 23-24" monitors, I will have to mount the center and right one in landscape and the left one in portrait. The portrait monitor will be useful for long lists or continuous content, formatting documents in full page view and can display two windows split one on top of the other.

Thanks guys, it is certainly a lot more pleasing on the eye than the 27 + 24 Combo I had the other day. And it is very useful for a lot of things, for example updating the leaderboards on here, I can have the leaderboard open to edit on 1 screen and the other one on the thread/person that I need to update.

 

[kbrady1979]

Gotta take care of those leaderboards, dontcha buddy LOL. Looks great Paul!

I have a small 12inch screen, thats actually a touchscreen drawing tablet for graphics design.. next to my 27, and thats just for putting on a movie or so while gaming, another 27 is to expensive at this stage....and I dont have the desk space lol

New goodies
The Lamptron FC-2 fan controller i originally bought wouldn't fit so I finally got some cash together to get another one Kaze Master II: CPU Kühler, Lüfter, Lüftersteuerung, PC Netzteile von Scythe aswell as swapping out the stock 140mm fan's for 3x AF120 Quiet edition's and a AF140 Quiet edition

 

[paulpicks21]

Very nice Ryan, it all looks great!

 

[ganjiry]

Very nice Ryan, it all looks great!

Yeah I just have to get around to installing them now :sarc: aswell as change the colour of the Cougar's which I said I'd do months ago lol

 

[essenbe]

ganjiry, why wouldn't it fit? I thought they were made for 5.25" drive bays. I only ask because I am fixing to order one too. I'm currently using an NZXT Sentry 2. It looks nice and adds a little bling to the case front. But, it won't control the fans at all. They're all at 100% and there is nothing you can do to change it. But, I've heard the Kaze Master is a good controller also, it just has problems with certain fans for some reason, but I don't think the Corsair's are ones they have trouble with.

The sides of the controller were thicker at the front compared to the back half of the side piece so it would only slide into the drive bay untill it hit the thicker part and end up stuck out the front by about 3/4 of an inch(Check super realistic artwork). So I had to find one that was straight in order to fit my case. Pita!

 

[essenbe]

That's a bummer, Ryan. The Lamptron is supposed to be one of the best controllers you can buy. You would think they would have made them to fit. Obviously, they didn't. Thanks.

Yeah it's odd that they made the sides like that isn't it, I would have thought that the drive bay's would be all a standard size soall fan controllers would fit. I'll know better next time lol.
Apparently it's a very good controller with 45w per channel so would have been perfect but I didn't try to install it for a while after buying it so was too late to send back. If I hear of anyone in need of one I'll just give it to them so it's not gathering dust forever
What sold me on the Kaze was the retractable knob's but I didn't think to check if it had any known compatibility issues with fan's. Touch wood the Corsair's will be ok.

 

[essenbe]

I'm pretty sure Noctuas was one of them. There were a couple of others I don't recall but I don't think Corsair's were one of them.

 

[Britton30]

Sold my 27 inch and replaced it with a matching 24 inch.

Very nice setup Paul.

Nice bunch of upgrades Ryan. Fair play innit.

Hopefully I'll be sound then Next time I'll be sure to check further though.
