Well I'm Jealous! 😀


By the way, where'd you get that Green UV CC mounted underneath your monitor? Is it just a regular CC hooked up via molex? Looks cool.


And I'll try and match your setup with my next build. :twisted:

lovin' this computer!, the orange is kick ass, but what gets me is the plain aesthetic look integrated with the advanced (i know what im doing) water cooling! sweet

Soldier yours is sweet too! Certainty has the WOW FACTOR.

I will post mine when i have one worth it :)
 
Man you guys would start a thread like this when I'm not going to be home anytime soon. :-/ Nice systems guys & gals. I'll throw up some pics this weekend whenever I get home.
 
Wow some really nice machines here, mines pretty clean and simple, nothing flash but thats just the way I like it! Enjoy!

The Front speaker output has a 3.5mm splitter so I can use my speakers for music and I don't have to swap cables to use my Zalman 5.1ch Headphones 😉 That Fan Mate 2 goes to my CPU cooler even though I just leave it on high and let the Intel fan controller do it's job. D-Link DWL-G520 rB down the bottom.

Can't wait to replace that X1950Pro with something Meatier!!!!!

My "Cosy" Desk and very comfortable chair! VX922 monitor, G5 Mouse, Logitech Multimedia Keyboard, Archtype Surface 1030 Mouse Pad and Altec Lansing Speakers.

Not the best or flashest rig around but other than the placeholder video card it's just how I want it!
 
Hi all, here are some fairly ordinary pics of my Antec Nine Hundred, hope you enjoy them:

8O For as many drives that you have in there, thats an exceptionally clean case. Especially for a 900. 😀 Whats that black stuff on your mobo tray?

Dude that is some crazy nice wire work. Did you do that or did a company do that for you? If you did it want to come to my house and do my TJ09? lol Nice work dude.

BEAUtiful rig, btw. AMAZING. i wish mine was that sexy... 🙁
 
Some cool rigs there.

I've also been waiting for this thread seeing as I just installed everything in a new case:

NICE RIG! I was wondering, what kind of case is that? I've seen it before, but can't remember the name. As well, do you find there to be a lack of space for the PSU?
 
Ok, after some procrastination.. I figured i'd contribute to the thread.

Built this machine in august of 2006, shortly after core2 ship day. The video card is a new addition though.

dj_taboo - thanks, the rubber I used around the holes is some small hose I just split using a knife.

stewartwi - No mate, I did it myself, just a bit of patience and not having a HSF yet helped.

Soldier37 - Frame rates are great, I have only used the cards with a 5200+ and even then only really played Quake 4, benchmarks were good though, FEAR maxed out at 395FPS, min 85FPS @ 1280x1024 16xAF 8xQAA HDR, also 11178 points in 3Dmark06, was it worth it? For me it was.

lordaardvark2 - thanks for that, I am going to put up some better pics later today and will do it like that for you all.
 
How's that case working out for you mousemonkey? I'm think of getting one like it for my next pc. That way I can go crazy with lighting. UV reactive cables and cables sleeves, all LED fans, cold cathodes, EL wire, the works.
 
Thanks for asking mate, it's great for showing the newbies what a graphic card is,where RAM goes etc, but is a bit of a pain to work with as it has no back board for the mobo so unless its lying on its side it doth get a bit wobbly and as the corner blocks are perspex cubes with metal inserts in it won't take much wobble to get a case shattering crack methinks, and the side fans might get a bit tight if one were to install a couple of GTX's 88's or 79's, but other than that and the ability to watch the build up of dust bunnies I am very happy with it, mainly because it has'nt failed to illicit some sort of response (ranging from WTF to Coool) from everyone who has walked in and seen it wether its running or not :) .

If you do get one and do a W.C thang with all the U.V stuff please please post the pics here or PM me as I would love to see what mine 'could have been like if I'd had the bottle 😳 '.

TIA
 
Heh, the wtf factor is what I'm going for. The PC in my sig looks cool IMO, but that's because of its elegance, that's what a Lian-Li is ment to be.

Now I want the polar opposite of that. I want a computer that has an overwhelming amount of colors. I mean, I want somebody to be able to take a picture of my computer and find more colors then there are hex color codes for. I want a computer that requires so many UV lights to properly illuminate all the UV reactive things I've installed that I have to remove all plastic from my room and wear sun screen whenever I turn it on because of the amount of UV radiation that this thing gives off. I want a comptuer that will bring other people to their knees in horrible, debilitating pain because of the lumens it puts out and the maddening complexity of light shows going on. I want to have a pc that requires so much power for the lighting alone that I have to hire a team of scientists to create a new form of electrical power, because AC and DC simpily can't cope with the amount of energy need. So much power that any gauge of wire, even foot thick walls of copper, would just vaporize after a few nano-seconds from the extreme amounts voltage and amperage, even whilst being submersed in a vat of LN2.

Oh, and I really don't have a reason for building this, it's just going to be a Linux box. If I make it look really cool I can justify spending the cash on it.

I've noticed there are alot of different brands of acrylic case, which one is that?

I can't imagine the need to take the case apart again after it's buit, so I'll probably just epoxy the thing together.
 
I have the same mouse pad as you man! Everyone laughed when I got a glowing mousepad, now i'm not alone! Nice rig, got a picture of the CM?
 
Heres my micro-ATX rig:

Its a great little box; I built it in December. It can handle all the latest games with the settings turned up, and looks great on the big screen. The problem is, I want to play Crysis the instant it comes out. I also want to play it in DX10.
1- the 8800GTX sure as heck wont fit in this case
2- Even if I bought a new case, the SATA connecters would be in thw way.
So now i'm looking at having to spend 1K+ to replace both of the + a new 8800GTX. DAMMITT!! :x Guess its time to build a new box.
 
I bought mine at a computer fair last year here in the UK for about £40 which is about $70 - $80 and there is no manufactures name on it or the packing case that I got with it but perusing on the Egg and I found this :- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811148001 it's a little different only three fans where mine has five but then mine makes enough noise to drown out a 747 on takeoff! so less fans might be a good thing. Oh and I would hold off on the epoxying idea as unless you are only going to use the 5" bays as replacing or adding a HDD or light strip would be next to impossible I reckon plus the amount of dust that builds up around the fans becomes unsightly very quickly.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811166010 another but with no fans included.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811166041 an expensive cube!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811166011 looks the same as the third one I found but the name Sunbeam seems to come a few times http://www.sunbeamtech.com/index-2.html seems they have somthing to do with Tuniq.

HTH
 
Well, I guess I'll have to stock up on canned air.

It seems like the only support for the psu are the 4 screws that hold the thing to the side of the case. Is that safe? It looks like the PSU would just break the acrylic after a while and fall onto the video card.

Tuniq is a subsidiary of Sunbeam.
 
Well I have a Corsair HX620w in mine which at about 7 pounds is not the heaviest but it is also not the lightest and the rear panel is about 6mm thick which is thicker than the screen on a Pan Euro ST 1100 motorcycle for instance so as long as the PSU sits tight up against the panel I think you could probably go up to a ten or twelve pounder without issue, you have bear in mind that acrylic is very strong as long as there are no cracks in it. :)

Canned air!, I'm far to cheap for that mate I just disconnect from the mains and go at it with a hoover and half inch paint brush that way I can use the money on canned beer a much better investment IMHO :lol:
 
I have updated the pictures of my Antec Nine Hundre based rig, they are much better now, beware you guys on dial-up, they are approx 400Kb each :wink:

Here is one for your enjoyment:

CPU temps are around the 32C mark at idle with the fan only running at about 675RPM on auto speed control.

I will be doing some loaded tests tomorrow once everything has settled in.
