Show Off Your Rig

[wbirkin]

Is it actually UV reactive, or does it just looks that way in the photo?

it is reactive but only a little pinkish-red glow, just like in the photo

I think you missed a few drive bays there

i have one extra spare bay, im thinking of putting an audio terminal there and the storage bay plus the fan controller that was originally for a pci bracket. i cant think of anything else useful i can put there to fill it up.

[rtrac1]

nothing as crazy as the builds here, but a little different (although outdated).

Shuttle SB65G2
P4 3.0 Northwood
2gig DDR400 memory
NEC 16x DVDR
Shuttle memory card reader 3.5 slot)
Seagate 300gb harddrive
Sapphire x1950 Pro video card
PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750 Quad (mounted outside case obviously)
holes cut in case cover for vid card fan and extra exhaust fan.
onboard wireless
onboard 5.1 sound


this is my last stand on this case. soon Ill be building something more suited for gaming.

 

[dj_taboo]

Thats an interesting Shuttle 😀 I like the "external" PSU. That 1950pro takes up nearly the entire length of the case! The green tri-cool fans add a nice touch. Very cool indeed. The color of the PSU kind of off-sets everything though?

 

[dj_taboo]

I just noticed the hole for the video card cooler!!

 

[petevsdrm]

Nice fragbox you've got going on there. I'll bet that's a hit an LAN parties.

 

[rtrac1]

The copper PSU is a bit wild, but it was cheaper than the other colors :lol:

I only wish the PSU had modular cables, since right now IM using about 1/5 of the wires they provide, and the extras end up in a rats nest behind my system.

 

[enforcerfx]

Wow man! That is some really nice cable management! I'm assuming that is a modular powersupply though. But overall, it made me say wow. Also like the modded Corsair fans.

 

[red_devil]

Well, it would seem my rig doesn't hold a candle to the majority of yours. Then again, the dust and wires don't help either. Here are some pics, specs in sig:

Sorry fo being off topic, but i really love ur desk and i want to get a similar one, what's it's name & price, and can i find it online?

thx in advance,

btw, To anyone who posted pics, all ur pcs simply ROCK!!! 😀 I don't have a cam now so it will be a while b4 i post mine. 🙁

 

[Synthetickiller]

This is my crappy computer:

Sorry about the last picture. I'm using a camera phone w/ no flash, so I used a flashlight :lol:. There's not enough light otherwise to see the internals.

Stats:

Dual cooling loops (koolance, yes, I know, its crap)
CPU: 250 opty x2 (running between 91*F to 93*F on a bad day)
Video: 1900xtx w/ ARCTIC COOLING Accelero X2 heatsink (not OC'd right now, but it'll get me pretty decent OCs when I want)
HDD: 2 maxtor 160s in raid 0, seagate 320 gig, raptor 36 gig x2 (old, not as speedy as the new ones)
PSU: enermax galaxy 1000watt (powers all the HDDs, CPUs and cooling loops; the mobo requires 645 watts to work w/ 2 cpus, not including gpu)

Its a big server case. I forget the name of it. It stands just over 27.5" from the ground. Its huge.

 

[dj_taboo]

Thats kinda cool! Not really top of the line anymore, but i like it.
Your PC has lots of character. Much cooler than the thousands of e6600/680i/8800's out there. Sure, they're fast and play games like nobody's business... But this PC is just interesting.

It does its job with games well enough for now. It'll run HL2, DOOM3, at max setting @ 60fps easy. CnC3 gets a little slow down when I run it @ max setting w/ 1920x1080 resolution and 3 or more computer opponents. I won't be seeing record breaking speeds, but its decent.

I like the case, but its lack of 120mm fan holes as well as heavy weight is a bit of a drag, though I won't retire it. It'll just sit in a room and run SETI and be used for other things and probably act as a printer server and file server. I believe the case is at least 70 or 80 lbs. I can sit on it (I'm about 190 lbs) and it doesn't come close to buckling. I think It can easily hold 500 to 700 lbs. I'd pull out my weight set and try it, but thats not worth crushing my old working desktop :lol: .

Thanks for the comment. I'll have to post my computer when i get some cash and build it. I'll probably be an early adopter of penryn, so people will get excited. I'll feel like N'Sync did in the 90s. :lol:


For the rest of you guys, start posting some pics! This thread needs to continue.

Behold:

 

[Synthetickiller]

I like the server racks, but the CRT? What?!?!?

 

[eckre]

1. Those are not "server racks" those are home theater component racks.

2. CRT? yes, that *is* the hold grail of holy grails, the 24" Sony Trinitron; the FW-900, that smoke every LCD made (so far) the backs and blacker, the whites brighter, ghosting, non-existent, the colors vividness vs a LCD is laughable. And nobody can steal it. (100LB). The only CRT that can do HD too. 3.3MP is it's max.

3. The computer is also entirely silent, but a whisper unless you move up next to the read and listen really close.

4. The speakers can do 20 - 20K, flat.

I'm astounded. Those are SPEAKERS...? What on earth do you use them for, hosting Raves? :lol: You have one hell of a machine, my friend.

 

[dj_taboo]

So what kinda speakers you bumpin?

 

[turboflame]

I paid $36 for the case, it came with a 400W Powmax PSU. You know the fireworks displays on the 4th of July? I had a miniature one of those after about 2 weeks. If fireworks are illegal in your area, just buy one of these, you won't be dissapointed.

The case along with several other components were from my first home built computer. I quickly learned that drives usually don't come with silver fronts. Unfortunately it was a bit too late.

Current specs:

Sempron 3000+ socket 754
Gigabyte ULi mobo
1GB DDR333 (1X512, 2x256)
Sapphire X1600pro agp
an 80GB (main) and 160GB (storage) SATA HDDs
sound blaster live 24 bit
Optorite CD player / coaster maker

Original specs:

Athlon xp 2000+
EPoX VIA KM400 mobo
512MB DDR333 (2x256) - still in use
Sapphire 128MB 9600se
80GB IDE drive
(same CD drive, floppy, sound card, case, PSU still in use)

 

[Synthetickiller]

Ah, well, its hard to see what is what from the pics, lol. Some info is always a good thing so guys like me don't come across like an ass. :lol:

I don't know what you mean by the only CRT that does true HD though. 1080i is the highest right? So thats 1920x1080. I have a 22 Lacie blue monitor that does 2048x1536.I guess you mean considering its 16:10, it has the right aspect ratio for HD. My crt does look better than any LCD, but it takes up too much room on my desk. Its not as heavy as yours, only 70 some odd lbs.

Nice set up though. I'm guessing it for audio encoding work etc considering its silent and your audio equipment is out of this world from the looks of it. And I thought I was doing well with hooking up a receiver and some bookshelf speakers to my computer. :lol:

I like it though. Whats the specs?

 

[Synthetickiller]

This is my desktop. Since its not just a typical keyboard/mouse/monitor, I'll post it.

In order, left to right:

Benq FP767 17" monitor, samsung 240T 24" lcd. Other stuff is just modem,router, speakers.

Actually, 1080P is the highest for HD.

 

[boner]

well.... my gaming computer died and im just waiting for my GB P35 DS3 something (mobo) to come in two weeks(yah i know.....) but anyway im working in my laptop now and by the way, i have a CTR(dell one) trinitron 17" that can handle HD(1900x1600 maximum) and it looks great but the bad thing is that it's not widescreen lol
