Couple of pics before it gets torn down :(

For some reason I absolutely suck at taking photos of PC's here's a few of my current build that's served me amazingly well for the past 4 years. I put this one together with aesthetics in mind as well as all out performance and with the current PC parts situation my next build/upgrade won't be as aesthetically pleasing sadly.

A couple of things have changed since these photos were taken, the fan on the GPU rad now matches the others and there is a sound card in there as well.

I'll be sad to see it's aesthetics change but beggers can't be choosers right now sadly and I need the CPU, Mobo and GPU upgraded.

Your photo's are fine, though ... how is it so dust free? I'm impressed.

Haha thanks, a bit of fan tuning to get a positive air pressure inside the case helps massively with dust, plus I have one of the electric air blower things (like a mini leaf blower).

So niiiice! I love the pictures you have taken! I wish my rig would look like that.

Thanks man, aesthetics were imported to me when I built this one

Was thinking the exact same thing!

Build looks slick. Its a shame your tearing it apart

Thanks! Needs must I'm afraid, I'd love to leave it looking exactly as it is but it has upgrades in its future!

Looks / looked great. A build to be proud of.

You'll have to post the pics of your new build.

Will do!

Love the photo's. Don't be so hard on yourself. Love the NZXT cooler.

I am upgrading and I want something pretty. I have my ex's 7 year old rig and 85% of the pieces need upgrading. Literally thinking of just redoing the whole thing and making it pretty like this.

Honestly all it took was selecting parts that that matched eachother and then doing a tidy job when it building it.

I clean mine with an air blower and it still isn't anywhere near as clean looking as yours - top job

Thanks, I must have gotten lucky with my case design and setting up a positive air pressure. I usually give it a quick blow and wipe down every 2-3 months.
