Show Us Your Rig [6]

[essenbe]

Nice set up Tony. 3 computers on one desk? Must be a big desk. How does the 'mouse without borders' work?

 

[essenbe]

Very nice monitor paul, I bet you can be 20' away and still see it clearly.

Thanks Bob, that reminds me, I am sorry I forgot to email you earlier in the week. I will drop you an email later bud.

Very nice monitor Paul. but, do you have any desktop icons other than benchmarks?

I got Steam too :roflmao:

I picked up a new monitor locally last night, a Dell U2713HM 2560x1440 resolution. They are going for like £460 on Amazon UK new. This one is 9 months old, immaculate and cost me £275.
It is very nice.

Glad you`re happy with it Paul, very nice

Thanks Brian

But Steam has Mark 3D in it.

Nice 3rd rig Tony. One thing confuses me, are you sating you control 3 rigs from one keyboard and mouse each connected to its own monitor?

What is the wallpaper you have, looks like there is a tiny double door for mice.

Gary, I had never heard of it either, but sounds pretty cool. Take a look, if this is what he has, but it sounds the same.

Having been in the Monitor and TV repair industry since I left school one of the things people underestimate the importance of is the picture quality of the display. We spend a lot of hours in front of them and the better quality the image the more enjoyable the experience. Great Monitor Paul.

Cool. Do you work for yourself or one of the big corps?

OK nerd alert ! I've added a new fan to my Prodigy and it's not a Noctua.......still have nothing but love for the N brand but as the largest they build is the 140mm it left my front panel barren so action had to be taken. To the rescue comes BitFenix's 230mm blue led. Then clean some unneeded parts out of the case like the Antec spot fan and the side panel 2.5" drive mount thing as well had to reverse my power and hdd activity light plugs and voila ! Then not shown I added just over 900gb's of wav music to a 2.5" 5400 rpm spinner and added it alongside my 128 gb Samsung 840 Pro and a Seagate 3 tb Barracuda hdd.
Still struggling my way through my overclock as ASUS's bios is giving me fit's but as I become more and more familiar with it things will improve I'm sure.

It's a very nice fan from construction to air flow to it's led's, but I found it running on a full 12v at 900 rpm just way too loud so I resistored it down and it's perfect now.

Some minor changes, the mobo, the cpu (fx8350) added a 3tb and 4 port 6gbs raid card. I am going to have to get a slim ram cooler because as you can see the stupid placement of the USB3 blue cable blocks my current one which sticks out on both sides of the ram slots. Maybe you guys knows of some slim ram coolers, that would cover all 4 slots, even 3, but no more.

 

[paulpicks21]

Nice one Ralph, looks good mate.

I know this might sound stupid, but do you really need the front USB3? I have not even bothered connecting mine as it makes things look untidy in my case and if I need USB3 then I have a couple of ports on the back panel anyway which I assume you do too.

Paul.

 

[ganjiry]

Looking good Ralph
Why do you need a ram cooler though? Unless you're chucking a load of voltage through it then a cooler isn't needed..

Either that, Ralph, but if you need the USB 3.0, use a passthrough adapter and run it to the back of the case. like this.

Nice looking rig there Ralph. Here's the Newegg RAM cooling selection, the one Cooler Master looks like it may be taller and could miss the USB connector.

I also like front USB ports because, well, they are in the front. I have 4 on the back but, they are on the back, it's a whole lot easier. My rig sits on top of my desk like Paul's but I have very little room to pull it forward or to the side without plowing stuff on the floor. If yours is on the floor or under a desk the it's even more of a PITA.
That's my story.

 

[essenbe]

What I showed is a pass through cable so instead of connecting it to the motherboard, which is messing up the ram cooler, connect the front panel connector to a cable like that and basically move the rear USB 3.0 ports to the front. It's really a pain to get to the back in the dark to plug something in.

 

[Britton30]

The cable you posted Steve still has to be connected to the board.
Oops! My mistake.

 

[essenbe]

No, it connects to the front panel usb 3.0 header and runs out the back of the case. It's a male connector which is what's on the board.

Oops! My mistake.

But, I've never made a mistake. :roflmao:

Seriously though, Cooler Master ususally includes one in their accessory supplies with a case. I have a few.

 

[Britton30]

It could use some 24" cables on it.

I just changed my desk layout this morning and had a good clear out of junk, PC is still on top for nice easy access
