My new rig from OC UK

The differences between the Styker and Storm trooper just the colour? i prefer your white one to my ST.

Looks nice!

Hi JoeF1 - yes the only difference is the colour. It also comes with the windowed side-panel as standard which the ST doesn't. I chose the ST first because I didn't know they made it in white. When I saw the Stryker, I switched to that because white goes better with our decor etc. The included side-window was a deal-clincher as I wanted to be able to see the watercooling and sabertooth board.

Looks a great pc, and the tv setup looks great too, hope you enjoy using it.

Cheers Rich! Great being able to show it to people who appreciate stuff like this. The misses just stares blankly at me when I try showing it off to her!

Looks sweet quick question are those the 2gb FTW cards?

illuz · 28 Jan 2013 at 11:14

Oh so clean !

They are the 4gb cards Apem.

I thought it would look strange with a bright white light in it, but it actually looks pretty damn sexual.

jc0 · 28 Jan 2013 at 12:20

Yeah they're the 4GB FTW cards.

Thanks HecFam - it does look pretty cool with the white light. Just wish I'd gone with white coolant for the watercooling loop.

illuz · 28 Jan 2013 at 12:43

What are the temps on the SLI set up?

jc0 · 28 Jan 2013 at 12:48

the top cards peaks at around 74 degrees playing FC3 but usually doesn't get above 65-68. This is with the standard fan profile.

< 80 is alright, i guess

Smoogels · 16 Feb 2013 at 18:25

I really like them lights in the case

Medoway · 19 Feb 2013 at 16:09

CM Stryker Case looks better in situ than I thought it would. Nice looking rig all told!

jc0 · 19 Feb 2013 at 16:14

Thanks Smoogels and Medoway

I still wish I'd gone with the white coolant but apart from that, I'm extremely happy with how it all turned out. I love the look of the case and the Sabertooth motherboard all lit up.

I've had chance recently to clock some hours gaming on it and it's running beautifully - not a single crash or lockup *touch wood*!

Really nice setup :cool:

When you come to do your first maintenance clean out on the PC, definitely go for the white coolant, it'd really set it off

joshcowin · 26 Feb 2013 at 01:41

very nice build,lighting suits it and the sabertooth is the best z77 mobo ive seen

Hi Space Monkey, I was wondering about that actually. I've never had a water-cooled system before... how often does it need to be cleaned out? Are there any guides anywhere on how to do it?

archerz · 26 Feb 2013 at 10:00

this system looks seriously nice!

alex20000 · 5 Mar 2013 at 08:54

That case... I want it!
