My old build is gone. I am making a new build with a new case that I dont think that anyone has will post all of hte pictures after wedsday.
 


Needs some serious wire managment
 


Honestly i don't mind some input on a build but belittling another forum user for complimenting someone else's build is childish and has no place in the forum. Please show some maturity and respect amuffin.

also quick note about lepa g1600 psu. if you think i just slopped those cables because i was lazy try reading http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/LEPA/G1600-MA/2.html as you'll see i am not the only one to find short cables and rigidness to be an issue. so any input other than what has already been covered would be great, thanks.
 
This thread is not a private club. Well, it is, but it does not belong exclusively to a small sample of our TH members. There will be no enforcing of standards here. The right to criticize a build is accompanied by the right to compliment one. If the regulars on this thread start thinking they can bully all visitors into adopting their aesthetic standards, then I'll close it again.
 

I was just trying to joke around with ro2bin3....

How do you not know he's making fun of you for your cable management? We can't tell what "tone" a person is trying to convey through text, but he's got a ton of similes so I just assumed he was being sarcastic with his statement....

Anyway, performance > aesthetics, you should have seen my build before I got bothered by mr. moto and lutifj LOL

Is that one of those Alphacool Monsta rads?
 
:lol: hey it isn't bad at all! You're looking good as well as performing as good as it looks!

Yeap, that's a monsta allright! really amazing piece of watercooling hardware! not watercooling GPU or mobo? - what are your temps like?
 


As YODA would say. Wire management, my friend, you need.
 
Alright, I've had this rig built for ages but it's rare that I have it inside the case and without any pieces in a RMA process somewhere.

To start with this build started as an aesthetic + performance build. Then I realized how much work modding is (while keeping things looking nice) and that spray painting galvanized steel wasn't simple. Basically my goals shifted to performance and I bought a second 6970 and a better i5 and went for performance.

So, the paint job is crap (primer for galvanized steel does not make for a strong/lasting finish and it just isn't worth hand sanding a $50 case) and the wire management is "disassembly ready" since I take this build apart every month or so. But for single rx360, the performance is awesome.

I moved to Australia a few months ago for a year of uni and I brought the computer with me in a suitcase. I removed all the tubing, the hdd/ssd, the rad and the pump/controller/drive and made sure everything was bolted in tight. Then I wrapped everything it in several inches of styrofoam and stuck it into a large suitcase.

It turns out this was a really bad idea. At some point in transit, the suitcase must have been dropped 10 feet. Both gpus (each with two screws on the bracket and attached together with that tiny piece of tubing) came loose and basically rattled around for a while. The screws holding them in the brackets were torn loose and the brackets were completely bent out of shape. They did remain attached to each other somehow.

Anyway, the next picture shows some of the damage they caused. Amazingly everything still works (+1 for evga mobos).
