Show Us Your Rig [8]

[Lady Fitzgerald]

Thank you Steve, glad that you like it. I like good cable management, but the cpu power cable is too short to go from the back side, so I must do it like that. I got some cable ties, they help me a lot in cable management.
Also, as I said above if someone can help me with connecting the front panel (usb, audio, card reader) to the motherboard, because I'm not sure about them.

You can always add an extension cable to the CPU power cable, such as this one or this one (other colors are available here), to get the extra length you need. I used one in my present rig to get the length I needed.

Boshko, does this help you? This is the very bottom of the motherboard.

Why does everyone use the old sideways cases. They cramp everything together. I love my Cooler Master Haf XB Evo. Lots of room and heat flow is up, not over and out.

 

[Dude]

, that does look very good StormyRain. welcome to the forums

 

[StormyRain]

Thanks. I put alot of time and cash into it. I'm about to upgrade the motherboard, CPU, and GFX cards with my tax money in February. I'm going with the Asus Crosshair V Formula Z Motherboard, Amd FX 9590 CPU and the ATI Radeon 7990's x2. So its gonna get alot better. Don't get me wrong its a beast right now, But i want the best of everything so upgrade is a must.

Why does everyone use the old sideways cases...

Because they take up less desk or floor real estate. If I had your case, I would have to give up my flat bed scanner (and that is so not happening)!

Nice job on your rig, btw!

 

[StormyRain]

thank you

With regards to larger cases.. If you're building a machine that needs all that airflow, then it's a different story, but I don't think most machines do. A friend of mine asked recently about getting more fans for his case (i3, stock cooler, Nvidia GT210, etc..) and I had to explain the concept of electronic components that generate lots of heat, of which he has hardly any.

With regards to the space require... As it is, my case is not on my desk because of the space my tri-monitor setup takes up. But after all, isn't variety just one of life's many spices? I love the fact that everyone's machines look so vastly different, it keeps things interesting.

Thanks for the links, I'll check them and also will look up here.

Steve, thanks for the scheme, I have the same one from the mb user manual, but I'm not sure about the connectors from the case. I don't have time to open the case (preparations for new year etc...), so I'll post picture in a few days, after I get free time.

Nice Rig Boshko I like your Case

THank you boogie, it's one of the best looking case's here for the money.

 

[essenbe]

Boshko, maybe I don't understand the problem, but the ends of the connectors should tell you which headers they plug into.

Let me guess, you have changed your GPU a few more times?

I understand what your saying. I have a massive liquid cooler that has 3 radiators, so a large case is a must for me. My computer generates a lot of heat, so i was left with no option but to go the route i did. I run a game server off my computer, so i have to keep it as cool as possible.

No, still got the KPE 780ti, but it's water cooled now also added some sleeved cables and cleaned up everything a bit.

Nice.. Can't wait to see that. Did you OC your 780ti by any chance? Or got any plans to? I'm still waiting for my sleeved cables, starting to wonder if they got lost in transit somewhere. :/

yes i did, on stock voltage currently and still messing around with cooling, but im at 1280/7604 for daily gaming.

waiting on one more part. should ship the 7th, but once i get it, my rig is complete- despite me saying that 15 other times
