Lets trade cpu for the next 6 months ? Nice purchases though, good luck with building process, I may need a bigger board because that gigabyte barely fits right on my mounting pegs.

I don't get the reference of trading...
I bought the I7-4790K because I did not want to spend 600$ on a I7770k/Mobo/32GB RAM when all I need is this I7.

Recycling my old I5, and putting it together on an H81M, 60$ 750ti from eBay, and finally put into a box, will end up to a child in need without a computer to do homework for schooling and some gaming (computer for literacy org) it being a I5-4570/H81M/8GB/750Ti/1TB. after I run tests on if for a few weeks.

When your a father to a 24 year old quadriplegic daughter on a life sustaining ventilator, perspective on importance of latest hardware is very different than most

The Last donation was a Q8300 DuoCore2 Quad with 4GB/GT730 1TB, the center is used to seeing me showing up with used computers, I get sometime a letter from previous child's parents thanking me or a picture of them on their computer, the center keeps pictures, it stays on the wall at the center to show where their efforts hit home.

Now to go get the VFD computers they called me to recycle some more. Donations are word to mouth...
Old hardware to some, is new life chances to other

No it isn't he has case feet at the bottom of the plexi glass case, look more closely at the screenshot.

Actually, it is the wall mountable PC case,
specs: http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002908

Like any proper hardware, it comes with bottom feet for free standing and also with mounting brackets for a wall installation.

Aeacus thank you for the link, that is a cool design with lots of options (standing, laying flat or optional wall mounted). too bad with my cat I would have to beat them away from the moving fans all the time lol (would be perfect it is was completely close .. but neat man !

You can go for Lian-Li O series PC cases if you need enclosure for your wall mounted PC,

That's three posts on this page alone that look to me like you going out of your way to be rude. Tone it down please.

those are nice too, but the Thermaltake ones are temping, I am looking at my living room (where our computers are in, and wondering if I could mount them on the wall and find right size painting to slip on the front of them to hide them completely.. hehe

I'm always skeptical of open air cases, I feel like I could drop or spill something on them. They do look nice though and I've seen some cool looking builds in them.

 

[The Paladin]

yeah but mounted on the wall would make it a difficult thing to accidently spill anything.. unlike all the times I spill coffee on my table and scramble to catch it before it run off edge of desktop into my waiting top fans of my pc

That's why I don't keep liquids near my PC. :lol:

Thanks for your replies guys, i had doubts between getting the Core P3 or an In Win 805 case, ended up going for the p3 and i dont regret it, very very nice build quality, all the materials are pretty solid and make it feel like you have a high quality case (had bad experiences with NZXT before) so im very happy with that. Also already ordered the GTX 1070 Strix cause i sold the 1060, so my next update on this build will be with all the final parts installed.

Oh and im not putting this case on the wall, i have it with the feet and standing on top of my desk.

I bought a ASUS 1070 strix last week you won't be disappointed and mine is slightly bottle necked and it still rips ,Reminds me of the day ,

I bought my first,really fast graphics card an MSI NX7800 GTX ,And The time I reluctantly left Radeon for good.

March
Bought Corsair STRAFE RGB with Cherry MX Silent switches for my Skylake build.

With the new KB, my longest in service PC component got switched out.
My old PS/2 KB was in daily use since beginning of November 2005. You can even tell the age of my old KB by looking the worn out lettering.

Night shot.

In daily use, i prefer to keep my RGB components shining in red to match my black & red theme.
Besides red backlight, i also have RGB typing ripple effect in use for some nice eyecandy.

Nice setup.

Nice, I want to get some RGB fans for my Dark Knight rig, I'm having a hard time deciding what to get.

Nice, I want to get some RGB fans for my Dark Knight rig, I'm having a hard time deciding what to get.

For proper RGB fan, you have a choice between 3 makers:
1. Corsair SP120 RGB or Corsair HD120 RGB
2. Thermaltake Riing RGB 120/140
3. NZXT AER RGB120/140

Video reviews too;
Corsair RGB fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-ayn9MIs4k
Thermaltake Riing RGB fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lv_qZOy2QA
NZXT AER RGB fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGtO2-V3VIU

And here, in this topic, i covered Corsair HD120 vs AER RGB120, including the control method,

pcpp of 140mm RGB fans: http://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/DJyxFT,8htWGX/

I'm happy with my AER RGB140 fans. Mostly because controlling the LEDs is via CAM software and not by pressing buttons on a controller like it's with Corsair and Thermaltake fans. NZXT is also the only one on the market (that i know of) who enables to control each LED inside the fan independently. (There's 8 LEDs per 1 fan.)

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I love the RIINGS.

 

[MaDDD]

So, after using some noisy 120 mm fans. I decided to get these as they were cheap...

In the case...

Running this...

4.00 Ghz, may be able to go higher, haven't tried... yet.
