Yes please! :)

Winning combo!
 
Memory in, 8GB of Kingston, also sorting out the cable management. :cool:

Cable management is looking awesome, thanks to Rich for the help, he is a legend. :) Oh, and a nice sexy SSD in that photo too. :D

Ta dar! All done for now. :)
 
Looks good. Nice all-round system. What specs was it replacing?

Was replacing an i3 Setup with a 5830. :)

Very nice :) enjoy.

Thank you. :)

That looks rather nice indeed. Nice to hear that you've finished and thanks for the updates via Steam.

It works absolutely fantastic, however Counter Strike: Source seems to be broken. It hangs on the main screen and the left side buttons take a while to load and are unresponsive when they do load... :(
 
Thanks guys, the case will hold a 480 absolutely fine, however due to that card being quite warm it might be best to mod the top of the case with a 120/140mm fan. :)
 
5UB, what are your load temps now, assuming you have the rig in a cooler enviroment than the one that shows your temps above?
btw, It really looks good, nice and defined, Black on Ally is wicked mate...good build.

I shall find out for you as it would be interesting to know! :)

5UB, I envy your (and rjk's) cable management skills!
I have the bits you can see looking tidy - and a mess everywhere else :eek:

Nice OC aswell :)

:D
 
Plans for the New Year.

Changing the LG CH10LS20 10x BluRay-ROM / 16x DVD±RW Drive over to a LG BH10LS38 10x BluRay-RW / 16 x DVD±RW Lightscribe Drive.

Adding another 8GB of memory, so I will have Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel.

I am having a window side panel so you can see the insides, it will be the W-LM3RB.

I shall be modding the I/O Shield so it is black, I shall sort out some watercooling in the case too, possibly mod the top or bottom of the case so I have a dual radiator with Scythe Gentle Typhoons. I want the loop to have black barbs/fittings and the fluid I am unsure if I should have the Mayhems Aurora - Galaxy Purple... So it goes with the dark theme, or have something bright like blue so everything is dark inside and the fluid is bright and stands out.

I may look into upgrading the 560ti to a 580. Also getting rid of the WD Black 640GB and upgrading my Intel SSD to two faster SSDs, maybe a Crucial 64GB and a Crucial 256GB.
 
I will be doing that, not sure if fluid should be dark to go with the system, or if it should be a bright colour. :p
 
Bad photo, but what do you see?

That is right, 16GB. :)

Now the computer looks bare with all the panels off. :(

Time for modding! I shall be having a side window, plus on the top there shall be holes for the 240 Radiator which I shall install!

Watch this space. :)

Plan is now to watercool!
 
I am getting a 600D soon, my compact camera is broken and doesn't work very well in the dark, that is why the first two shots are bad. :(

Ah well will be sorted soon when I have a new camera! :D

Will make sure I take nicer photos soon.
 
Got some new pictures to post tonight. :)

As for the Xonar working with Linux, I am unsure myself as I have not tried. Maybe worth making a post on the forums see if anyone here knows. :)
 
Get it custom water cut?

Looks pretty sleek! Although are you going to be putting dust filter/mesh or the such like over it, or are you only doing push out with the fans so the rad is on the outside?

kd

Oh yeah, lol!

I was hoping you saw the light and went big!!

More pictures below kd, and Clee I have used big cases before but my aim is to go small now. I am hoping to possibly upgrade this rig to something awesome and be fully watercooled. We will see what happens.

Anyway to the photos:

Top panel on!

The back of the case, still tidy. :)

Removed front fan completely.
1326354854.jpg


Replacing with these? Nope! Leaving the front fan off, using these two to fit nicely in the top of the case. Will replace the back Apache with some very slow RPM Typhoons.

The grill.

Was going to get it powdercoated, but not sure if I should... Means I have to take my PC fully apart and I am a bit lazy to do that. :)
