Nice! yeah i forgot about the bose. Just talking about the PC itself.

 

[RussK1]

Still have to do a bootable usb and boot to dos right?

that skynet bios is for the non classified editions. Is their one for the classified editions?

Any bios version # 80.80.34.00.80 will work... doesn't have to be Classified bios.

A dude on the forums called mlcaouette has an awesome custom loop. I asked him to post it here.

 

[mlcaouette]

Well I don't want to clutter up this thread with the same pics in my log, I will provide the link to my build log which has all of my builds and revisions of my current rig:

Your comments are welcome here or in my thread.

I finished assembling the little guy! The pics kind of suck because I have my office flooded with light so I can work on things.

Lutfij is going to have a field day on my cable management, LOL. But it's soo tiny, the wires are so long, and my hands are almost too big to get in there!

 

[Lutfij]

The SG08 is the same internals as the SG07. I know because I've been actively working to make one of my clients(rooms+)builds with that case. That case wasn't exactly made to have the best cable routes possible and the single stamped case panel isn't meant to show off your internals thus its pointless working tirelessly for a clutter free setup.

How did they do this...?

I'm not going to enforce any sort of rule about how a rig should be or should not be If it cuts your cheese then I have nothing to add or subtract from it.

Though this is just stunning 😛

back to your SG08 - I like what you've done with that rig. Is it going to be for HTPC duties? Bitcoining...?

 

[Onus]

That was an outstanding deal on the HD7770.
I've been looking at trailers, but not found one I like yet.

 

[nukemaster]

stickg1, Nice work.

Lutfij, Above and beyond anything I can do is that size of case . My SG05 is quite a bit more cluttered than that. Is that an GA-H55N-USB3

Onus, Yeah that was a great deal on that card.

 

[stickg1]

Well I'm convinced those rigs are photoshopped!!! :lol:

It was meant as an HTPC. But I freaking love it and for now it's on my desk as my main rig while I work on my actual main rig.

Because not only were all those parts in a box today, but I also got a new 240mm Coolgate 60mm thick radiator and I'm filling and bleeding right now.

 

[Lutfij]

Nukemaster - Sure is! Cream of the crop in terms of quality boards. I really miss the P55 itx DFI board though ... (sigh) brings back good memories.

Stickg1 - :lol: ... Exactly what i was interested in hearing! I told you, you'd love it? I think this call for a shot of your desktop realestate 😀 coolgate? how much did you get it for?

Onus - I missed that post, yeap, very nice deal indeed!

 

[nukemaster]

Very much like the layout gigabyte uses on its itx boards because if the 24 pin was on the front it would block air in the case.

Just swapped out the fan on my H55N system today because the old sleeve bearing gave out and I had just quick swapped with an older scythe sleeve fan I had. I am now using an NF P12(i know it is a form of sleeve, but I have higher hopes based on other fans from Noctua I have used). I just did not want to wait on shipping an AP14 or slower.

Ohh an I killed a Gelid hydro dynamic(another sleeve variation) fan in 5 months when running sideways.

 

[stickg1]

This is the rad: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_457_667_945&products_id=30002

I got the rad for $35 or $40. I got a whole heap of parts for $210. The SG08, B75M-ITX, 8GB Kingston DDR3 1600, WD Blue 1TB, EVGA GT 620, and the radiator. I'm going to send him more money though, he spent $60 just to ship it all..

I wont be leaving this chair for the rest of the weekend! LOL



Ta-da!



But wait, there's more!

 

[nukemaster]

You make me wish I had more room for some custom water.

If I was willing to hang a rad on the back of the case, I could get a 120x2(sound card is in the way for having anything but 2 normal 120's in the case.) and a 120, but that is about it.

 

[Mirakledba]

StickG1 - Perfect! Awesome mini rig. I love the picture of the two monitors and your glorious PC open. Is the mini rig for extra stuff or what?

 

[stickg1]

I don't know what it's for technically. I really like it though. It was an HTPC. The device I'm using for media playback in the living room has been on the fritz. But it's still working. This machine will replace it upon its eminent demise. It's so sleek and cute. I just love it. I'm going to play with it a bit longer while I decide.

 

[Mirakledba]

StickG1 - "Its Cute" xD I thought you'd like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmELqfF6vp0 You should consider an EK Waterblock. Whats yours now?

 

[stickg1]

Koolance, they run neck and neck. I might get a clean EK. For looks and backplate option. But it's low on the priority list because my temps are already spectacular.

I'd sooner upgrade my CPU block from 360 to a 380I. That thing is a molten chunk of sexy!

 

[Mirakledba]

The 380i is indeed very nice. But you should paint it like yellow or black because its white and black. And Im just sitting here...with my yellow and Black GPU..... >_>

 

[Mirakledba]

In an hour Im going to pick up the H100i!

 

[Mirakledba]

StickG1- you're from south Carolina so you like big nice pickups right? I was watching TV when a commercial of the new 2014 gmc sierra...looks amazing 😉 Google it and tell me what you think.

 

[Mirakledba]

Back home with the h100i. THIS IS WAYYYY SMALLER THAN I THOUGHT! AND THESE 120MM FANS....WOW.....EVERYTHING SEEMS SO SMALL! Had a hard time putting it back in the box...it will be alright, right?

Look, will it be ok or should I move it a bit? I changed it now but still not sure

 

[Mirakledba]

Guys I REALLY NEED HELP. How do I check if my case is still under the warranty? My brother wants to see if we can return it. Newegg steps please? They dont offer service today.

UPDATE: Never mind we cant return it.

Just find a cheaper way to have it shipped.

 

[Mirakledba]

StickG1- Yeah, Ill talk to my dad about it, that wasnt the point, I dont want to talk about the case, was just in a rush to check to see if I could return it because my brother asked. So will the H100i be ok wit the way it is? Tubes over each other, curving, and stuff, is it durable enough or...?

 

[azzazel_99]

so i put in my new corsair sp120 fans in push pull on my 212 evo and ran prime for about an hour. How do these temps look at 4.2 with the new fans?
