If you have it then might as well use it. I love how clean it is inside.

I have been thinking of going water cooled with either the h60 or h80. My case is so small I cant fit a good air cooler in it and I am really interested in overclocking. Heck I couldnt even fit a t4 in my case!

Might get better temps with some static pressure fans on the h60, that's what I had to do for mine to get any decent temps, and then still upgraded to the h100i.

I have Corsair SP 120s. (static pressure fans).

Sorry, I must have had a brain far, somehow I read the SP120 in your post as AF120, or just didnt look closely enough. That's what I get for not paying attention I suppose

Got to do a bit of cleaning and work in my SG05 system.

I had it down to jb-weld nuts to back some stripped screw hold in the case(redid almost all of them just to be sure).

Used to have 2 drives on a metal sheet on the side and then moved one to the floor because it seemed to be picking up some vibrations. Now I have 2 on the floor(this allows for less cables since the same power cable will power both. I could have gone with 5 volts only, but figure this way it will work in another system if needed.).

Test fitting parts(not the ones that are actually in this system) to ensure things do not hit each other.


This board always impresses for its small size(and at nearly 4 years old it still works very well)


About as good as I can do without too much cable bending. With the drive on the side of the case, it was much more of a mess.

I love the look of those orange sata cables - missing the DFI lan party series all the more 🙁 That is a nice compact system - Coolermaster Vortex? and I think the fan is upside down...? Shouldn't the cooler be a down blowing style heatsink?

 

[nukemaster]

I just took whatever straight cables I had in the box(these come from Gigabyte actually I think). I had to file one to not hit the floor of the case as well.

The red cable is the 12 inch sata to slim sata from newegg that gave me an over 2 foot one(it runs back and forth in the side of the case to eat the slack). In the name of space savings it even has a fan connector for power(and a matching 5 volt fan plug on the power supply.)

Geminii S(the cooler bracket needed to be re-drilled to move it over to clear the video card too). I actually had to extend the power supply screw holes up so the normal fan could fit(the old fan was filed to fit, not doing that on this fan) and I have the fan flipped so it does not fight the power supply(I am very happy with the fact that this power supply has taken being my primary exhaust for years without issues.).

I loose some cpu cooling(but this cpu runs very cool anyway), but it actually seems to cool the VRM area quite well.

When I first got the case, I tested fans, coolers and flipping the power supply. This turned out to work the best for me. This is part of the reason some of the screw holes became stripped. I mess with the hardware too much.

Thanks Tiny. Obviously I would love to have a 3k rig, but this does far more than I will even need it to and you cant build a 3k rig in a case that size.

I always look for ways to improve the appearance without throwing money at special cables or LED's. Its more of a sleeper computer in my mind.

That's exactly why I love it. I would rather have a normal looking g35 with a big single turbo kit that makes 750hp, than a Lamorghini any day. The g35 would be more than likely faster too.

Where is your presence on G35Driver? Turbo cost wayyyyy more then 3k, but would definitely compete with Lambo on a hot day.

Nice computer 😀

 

[tiny voices]

Of course a turbo setup costs more than 3k, but a lambo costs alot more than a top of the line computer. Lol.

I don't really hang around on g35 driver. Just borrowed the avatar. I used to own a mk4 VW back in the day so I usually hangout on VWVortex in "The Cal Lounge". Its like the biggest general car talk forum aside from the crap ones.

Also, my G35 is not turbo'd. Just normal mods like exhaust, pop-charger, plenum spacer, suspension, and stuff like that.

G35 forum is flooded with uneducated users (knowledge of the car ), it is dying. If you ever decide to join my handle is the same over there. Have you noticed the amount of women driving G35s now? Makes me feel like a mustang owner 🙁

I'm currently building (with the assistance of Tomshardware forum members) a $500-600 gaming "rig." I'll post a picture up if I ever get it finished, I bought an AMD APU and I get negative feedback from the forum about it.

 

[Lutfij]

I'm not going to give a negative feedback in any manner or form. I'll read through reviews and ofc decide the best my client(s) would need but if they can't afford it then there comes the tale of compromises.

In fact I have one client lined up for an APU build, considering his ability to swallow the inability to upgrade route...he might not go with it

My handle there is Tiny Voices1. I have only like 3 posts though. Lol. I mostly noitce that now that g35's can be had used cheap, there is an influx of bro-doucebags in base model auto coupes with the ray's 19s painted black.

Just got Battlefield 4 from my GPU carrier . . . 100% free, and this is a really cool game lol, better then CoD by far . . .

 

[Mirakledba]

veladem - Of course its better than CoD. Have fun!

 

[Mirakledba]

I was right xD

Guys, what does Dimensions 220mm x 510mm x 475.3mm mean...well I know what it means but which one is the...length i think? Which ever one is the one that i can know if it fits on my desk...Not talking about height...Not talking about the width, but the length..its either 510 or 475...BASICALLY I WANT TO KNOW IF IT WONT HANG OFF THE FRONT OF MY DESK...thanks

 

[stickg1]

Angle it a little bit so you can see in the window anyway. At an angle it will fit either way.

 

[RussK1]

Titanfall Beta is awesome. The game runs smooth and it's fun.
