Hey guys, just putting some pics of my current computer setup i have.
Let me know your opinion (if its good that is ha) :)

Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ @ 3.12GHZ
4 x 1GB DDR2 800MHZ RAM,
2 x 512MB Nvidia Geforce 9600GT Graphics Cards In SLI,
500GB 7200RPM SATA HDD,
G7 Power Extreme 580Watt PSU,
Asus M2N4-SLI motherboard.

The insides of the tower, the huge heatsinks on my graphics cards are custom fitted ones i put on, theyre originally taken from an xbox 360 but ive added fans to them and they work well as gpu coolers :P

The back of my tower, for effect :)
 
i have 2 widescreen acer AL1916W's at 1400x900 res.

and they both have a single 50mm chipset fan on them, its about 50mm anyways, just what i had around at the time :)

under heavy load my gpu's get to a max temp of 60 degrees celcius, with the stock coolers i was looking at nearly 80 degrees celcius.

it's not behind the wall it just goes behind one of my monitors :) lol both my monitors are wall mounted xD

haha :) yeah to upgrade to anything better (say a phenom 2) i'd need a new am3 board the current one is am2.

its pretty much finished though if i do upgrade ill just build a completely new tower.
 
i see, well im planning on a new build next year, going to get a big 1000watt modular psu, ill ask again before i buy the thing to see what you guys think :)

going to put a ati radeon 5870 in it too ;)
 
ha nothing like some below the belt comments especially the one about my walls wtf...

ill have constuctive critisism but sometimes you guys don't seem to see the line before you cross it :O

but the reason i have the wall socket above my desk is because i do a lot of electronics work so need a plug nearby.

I agree with you about the optical drives, i could do with a nice sata blu-ray burner.

as for the cables ... i looked at my mobo/tray and theres like a 0.5cm gap for the cables to be routed, im gunna spend abit of money on upgrading some coolers and stuff after christmas so ill sort it then and update ze thread!

hopefully next time the colour of my walls wont come into it ... if you must know ive not redocorated since i was like 14 when i had it painted lol, just set up a new business so havent really had the time, but ill get to it asap gee3000 ... just for you.

hey, naa its okay i was just abit like :O at the time

Well ive just had the thing in peices, my main problem is i need some atx extensions for everything to reach tidily really.

i also took the gpu coolers off for now and put the stock coolers back on since its just more cabling inside the tower, at some stage i intend to refine they're design so they work off the graphics card fan power not the 12v rail inside the tower.

Thanks for your opinions anyway, i do appreciate it :)

by the way im thinking of getting a blu-ray sata drive for it, any recommendations?

also i looked at my hdd caddy and it appears to be riveted in plus i dont know if you can see it properly on the photo but its also holding my front memory card reader in aswell as my hdd.

Update: I also removed my 'akasa fan controller' for the big cpu cooler, just plugged it directly into the motherboard connector instead, yay even less cables! :)

Thanks again,
Liam.
